LOL that’s Tony Bennett in a ‘singing’ pose. That hotel (the Fairmont) is where he first sang I Left My Heart in San Francisco, in the Venetian Room in 1961. The statue is in honor of that.

We own a 2020 TourX and we love it. It does everything well and even has pretty good power (250hp / 295lb-ft) from an actual automatic, no CVT crap. It’s a really, really good car.

Because they’re too busy fixing all the other shit that should have been manufactured correctly at the factory but wasn’t.

Mmmmmm love that green!

My 2006 Lexus LS430 has a 6 CD changer AND a cassette player. It’s the perfect combo for me because I get nostalgic for all the music/CDs from my middle/high school years, and I like that I can put a cassette adapter in and play music on my phone. Don’t need no bluetooth for that.

American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and others were on a separate 737 Max flight yesterday. Parker even took his wife with him, which seems like a risky move in terms of domestic tranquility.

Yes, and sadly it’s one of the better looking vehicles in their lineup right now. If I had to choose one that looks halfway decent I would choose the recently refreshed 5 series. I don’t think it’s amazing but better than most things they make.

Wow great link - found this which is GM news that should surprise no one:

The E34 5 series also has a very inconvenient placement of the cabin air filter and most do not get changed and some have actually started smoldering because of how clogged they get. It’s essentially at the base of the center stack so you have to remove the glovebox then the carpeting panel that covers the central

Hello there, it seems that you are having a bad day. I hope your day got better after writing this.

Sorry to hear that. What will you be replacing it with?

I hope the ‘sounding an alarm if it detects passengers or a dog in the back seat’ thing can be turned off if you mean to leave something in the car. All these new technologies are well-meaning but ignore use cases for which the technology wasn’t intended.

Yea, they’re taking the high praise of the Navigator interior and giving it to all of their products. Honestly a smart move because it does look great. Shame about the reliability ratings though, I hadn’t heard that.

Agreed, came here to say that huge chrome piece on the lower front looks like some cheap, crappy aftermarket BS. Yuck.

Your description assumes the overall size of the engine and what needs to be packaged in the engine bay isn’t changed much with the addition of a large supercharger. It is not at all the same as the small turbo(s) used in the N54/N55.

Simple. That article was about the Hellcat engine. This is not the Hellcat engine.

The current V60 wagon is really not that far off from this.

I remember exactly when this came out because 12 year old me was knee deep in GTO facts and research because my dad had just bought a 1966 GTO. Very cool they put the hood tach on.

Hmm, when her father had health issues she had taken some time off supposedly to be with him when she thought he might die. This still smells weird that they ‘haven’t spoken in years’. None of us knows what the true story is but I don’t know if her relationship with her father is being portrayed accurately.

A 2000 S10 Blazer LT in white was my first car in 2003 (gifted by my very generous grandparents - my grandfather worked for a Chevy dealer). I have great memories of that
