The decision is being made as Dodge responds to consumer demand for performance-oriented internal combustion-powered musince cars, according to Mopar Insiders.

They’ve also never had reinforcements for a battery tray before.  I suspect if they’re rethinking that much, the roof is just extra weight…granted, probably only a hundred pounds or so, but should bring the weight down…

That actually seems like a win…

Now take the weight of the roof off the Iconic… I assume the Miata will stay a convertible, maybe fabric top only to keep weight down. It would be interesting. What I’ve read still suggests 50:50 weight distribution.

As a small FYI for you, and this thread, many of my American work colleagues have been talking (some seriously, some less-so) about moving to Canada.

HW3, but I’ll never pay for FSD. I’ve had two trials, and both times proved that it had no idea what’s going on around it. It doesn’t like any weather that’s not sunny. It gets confused by road signs a lot. It hates it when roads are salt stained.  I don’t even use autopilot, and rarely use adaptive cruise - it’ll…

Canadian here! My winter routine used to be start car, scrape windows, go. If there’s a lot of snow, it usually gets cleaned off before I start the car (because snow in the car sucks). It has been a LONG time since a car needed to “warm up” (also haven’t used a block heater in decades and had remote start for a…

Most cars get to temperature while driving just fine.

It boggles my mind that that number was EVER over 0%. MSRP or under, or walk away. FOMO, is a scourge on our buying public.

It really doesn’t work well at all. And Tesla isn’t going after Google, it’s just half-assed software we get to laugh at online.

Just like last time!

Yeah... none of that stuff works reliably, so Tesla doesn’t get a check for any of it.

The moldy top says he’ll no.  On one hand, if the seller is willing to display that, what are they hiding?  On the other, I assume there’s a full reupholster needed.  ND.

Fully agree. I think Fords language here is very intentional…”protect the value and exclusivity for our Mustang GTD customers and to Ford” basically says “we need customers to believe this is unique to justify such an expensive Mustang”. I just wonder how long Ford will keep with the whack-a-mole game once the GTD is…

I’m sort of morbidly curious about how much of the campaign trail was bullshit to rile up his supporters, and how much he’ll actually action. It seems kinda clear to me the inflation and cost of living are likely the reasons for the convincing win…doesn’t really matter what or how it started, the government in office…

+1.

I just drove by my local Tesla store in Canada, and the entire front row of the lot was all CT’s - a dozen...maybe 20. Since they’re only recently available up here, it’s possible they’re pre-orders. But I can’t help but think that they’re sitting there because they’re hoping someone will buy...will have to see if any…

The CT is still engineered to collapse around the occupants.  It’s just different because the body panels are part of what provides rigidity.

Banning it from SEMA basically guaranteed that we’ll see them on the road....if they’re smart about it, they’ll sell more now.  (Question might be whether Ford tries to block sale too).

Maybe they should advertise their adaptive cruise will keep their cars closer to the rear bumper of the car in front than any other luxury automaker.
