What happened to the good old days when crappy vehicle like this were just named after their components:

“an actual truck” lol k

Crosstek using a vicious coupling, kind of like a torque converter, to transfer torque from the front to rear. It doesn’t transfer torque until a speed differential between the front and rear wheels is detected, at which point the energy is passed through the thick viscous fluid which drags along the slower rotating…

4th gear:  I gotta admit that if we were ever going to have a trade war with China and spark a global recession, this isn’t a good time for me personally.

Lol a metric of value used to be the number of V6 Mustangs.. now it’s just how many Ford Motor Companies is something worth. I like it, Ford’s out there, being relevant. 

I’ve never witnessed more dog-fuckery than overseeing unionized heavy civil construction companies

getting tired of Tesla. Looking forward to Rivian and the different approach they have taken is a breath of fresh air 

When you remove entire segments of vehicles from an automakers lineup, those sales go with it. Whether or not those sales were profitable they still go away. Falling sales by losing models is fine as long as the rest of the lineup is profitable and the company as a whole is more profitable for it 

I figured GM wanted exclusivity. And from their perspective that makes sense.

They refined the engine. It gives you more power lower in the revs and maintains peak power longer through the revs. Also cut down on NVH. And optimized fuel economy.

More importantly that 3.0 twint turbo puts out 400lb-ft.

Absolutely agreed. That’s why I bought this 3 months ago:

right now it sells because of price. with an update and big price increase I wonder if the sales will follow the name 

Hey Federal Tire, I like the cut of your jib

He’s wrong of course. It looks like a Honda Accord Coupe.

As opposed to the reputation that had 20 years ago: “Jesus, Kia!”

I saw this documentary yesterday where a female Nissan driver hit a Camaro driven by a male, and then she tried to run. Was facinating

Ram doesn’t have any diesel competition because they don’t sell the EcoDiesel, and havent since.. 2017? EPA issues

Why not just called it a fastback. it sounds better than coupe to begin with. or stick with current Porsche naming for the rear hatch type and go Sport Turismo like the Panamera
