4-door "Coupe." 4 doors = sedan.
4-door "Coupe." 4 doors = sedan.
I think I'd rather have these since they don't give you any confidence that they're there for cups while the vehicle is under way, similar to the cup spot on the inside of a glove compartment. The 1.5 depth gave you a false sense of intended function and they would add a little tumbling action to your drinks as they…
I spent four years at Navistar and saw all of it first-hand. Nearly every engineer knew EGR-only wasn't going to work, but the CEO, Dan Ustian, refused to listen. He really should've been a top five finisher in the "Worst Automotive CEOs" AOTD a few weeks back. After all the shit hit the fan, he bailed out to…
I'm going to make a few edit items here, as there is some misleading information. First off, the inclusion of Cummins engines in Class 6/7 trucks from Navistar is more recent because of the issues with Navistar's attempt at doing an EGR-only strategy for 2010 emissions (it didn't work, and put the company in the hole…
Neutral: If we're talking Jetta SportWagens, it's like 95%. Seriously, every time I see one of those, it's a TDI.
Sure, it's when Mercedes quality started to dip, and 110k on the odo is a bit much, but hell 5k for a V12 is really, really awesome. NP.
Is the section in the NT still unregulated? We were caravanning from Adelaide to Darwin and set our cruise control at 160 kph (100 mph) once we crossed the border. Made quick work of it, though one of us ran out of gas by Daly Waters. Thankfully it was fairly close to a station.
Neutral: "Make Cadillac more awesome. Make big trucks. Do burnouts around everybody in a Corvette. America."
I understand that these polls are all for opinions, but with something as egregiously bad as this for such an extraordinary price, I'm amazed that it still manages to get more than a few NP votes.
NP All the way. This one is a little worse for wear, but brake work, some touch-up, and a new "media center" aren't big or difficult projects. Only real ding against it is that it's in Ohio, which means you'll probably have to go there to pick it up. Yuck.
There seriously aren't at least 24 decent beers to put on this list rather than populate the lower ranks with swill just to fill it out? I like that you're making a beer list, but if it's not good, don't put it on a list.
There was a time when I thought the 4Runner was one of the best-looking SUVs on the road. This time was long, from about 1989 to 2002 (2nd and 3rd gen). And no superfluous 3rd row either, which really doesn't belong in a standard mid-size SUV. If you need the seats, get a damn minivan or a Sequoia if you're the type…
Geez that's egregious. You can even see the tops of the real valve covers where they should be...in the middle of the goddamn bay. So useless.
So much dashboard!!
Cars should be OS-independent, and the phone companies should need to comply with common standards to do this. I can guarantee that I will never buy a Chevy if I need an Apple device to take advantage of all the features.
It really depends on the level of engineers. If they're design guys with no sub-engineers, they're totally fall guys. If they're Chief Engineers, then it's a bit more likely they're responsible. Chiefs are many times middlemen between the program managers (the money guys worried about BOM cost, etc.) and the design…
I liked the futuristic Mack truck hauling the rail bogies, while the security/armored trucks were definitely old International 4300/4400s (like mid-1990s) Looks like they couldn't reform all vehicles/get enough product money. (throwing back an AquaFina in my Puma outfit after playing XBOX)
I think the base car is awesome, and you can live in it, leading to only a monthly gym membership for bathroom privileges. However, I think that base car has to be about $900 and a decent tow-behind 15-20 years old can probably be had for $1500-$2000 on Craigslist (I definitely didn't confirm this assumption, but some…
All of this NHTSA regulation is making more problems than solving. This is totally a reaction to increased rollover and side-impact standards compromising the outward visibility of the cabin. (Bigger pillars and higher beltlines) We have bigger pillars and higher beltlines because cars were getting heavier because of…
