Does this delete the 2nd row stow and go in favor of the driveshaft? My assumption is that it packages to still allow for third row. PHEV fills the 2nd row wells with batteries instead, and curious if the driveshaft makes a similar space claim.

It’s far more a factor of the underlying electronics capability and the value necessary to roll it out. CT6 is old and gone, yes, but it was a top of the line flagship for Cadillac on its own platform. ATS/CTS getting updated probably needed a lot of sensors and new controllers on subcomponents (brakes, steering, body…

As for the Scout’s durability concerns, they tended to use steel that was stored in the open air for their body panels. You knew if your doors came from the outside of the roll pretty quickly...

All of the engines for all the teams are made in a batch, and provided randomly.

I think it’s a little disingenuous for Thorsport to editorialize on the engine, especially since every other team seemed to to just fine with the same engine. Each engine is built without any knowledge of where it’s going - they’re brought down on a truck and issued randomly to the teams. The odds of one team getting…

I’m firmly in the Albanese camp, with personal connections to The Region. However, my German colleagues who have tried them when I’ve brought them into work also confess that they are better than Haribo.

Pretty sure we’re in July now, bruv. (Headline says June)

Giulia has MultiAir. Does the one in the Wrangler/Cherokee have M-Air, also? Might be a difference in power numbers.

I’m an adult and I want one for myself. Those race car beds are bullshit without this feature.

This idea reminds me of Chicago’s Union Station. They have a rather nice, big train hall across the street from the main part of the station that’s utterly useless. Everything is underground and the hall is really on the edge of everything, so no one really ever goes into it.

My old MkIV 2-point-slow smelled like cigarettes because apparently the previous owner packed his vents with lit Marlboros.

Neutral: The Dart really could’ve been something more special if it had a better engine. Same issue with the soon-to-be-dead Chrysler 200, as well. The Tigershark is wholly uncompetitive in today’s environment. The 1.4L Turbo FIRE didn’t give any additional HP, and only a minor uptick in torque.

There are already some synergies between the two. Navistar for years has made a version of their DT engine for VW in Brazil, and they also developed their MAXXForce 11/13 for 2007/2010 from an MAN design. There had been rumors swirling about Lisle since 2011/2012 that VW may grab a stake or even take over the company…

Late to the party, but as a former member of a team which actually built a solar powered car, I can say this is bad Karma bullshit. Our car used 10 m^2 space-grade triple junction cells and generated ~2.5kW. the car weighed 600lbs, had an 11hp motor, sat only one, and had a CdA of ~.09. We broke even (power in=power…

Need those EVERYWHERE. I was driving up into Midland last weekend and there was a big truck playing Pac Man with the line for a full mile prior to the merge point. Behind him, I was nearly run off the road by a guy trying to make me merge 2 miles before the merge point.

Neutral: Some people do the research, but in most cases it’s only the badge that people look at. It’s what makes a Dodge Challenger (Brampton, Ontario) an American car while a Toyota Camry (Georgetown, KY or Lafayette, IN) is Japanese.

Chevy City Express is a badge-engineered Nissan NV200.

NP. Doors of a billionaire for only $4k? What a steal!

Let’s see what Ja Rule has to say on this...

I reckon they could try and have the current Stig answer “Not My Job” questions about mimes.
