Attrition is how isolation works. You hide away and let everybody else die off hopefully over the next 12 months

By fun you mean whimsical?

Damn, this on top of Tesla’s last place finish in JD Powers IQS survey where.... Dodge claimed the top spot...

Sucks but that ugly ass piece of shit ( otherwise known as Elanor ) needs to die like Disco.

Excellent analysis! 

lol, right! I can’t understand why Hertz doesn’t have six months worth of salary saved up for just such an emergency... just like the peasants are expected to do. 

Golf & Country Club + HOA well not like that wouldn’t be the terrestrial equivalent of a neutron star tuned specifically to attract entitled control freaks obsessed with property values. 

That was my thought, truck sales remain high because they are work vehicles. The plunge in SUV sales seems to reinforce this since a SUV is more of less a trendy jacked up wagon/minivan.

It wasn’t here but I remember a parts supplier commneting. About Japan, Germany and the US when they spec’d parts. The germans were a flat out pain in the ass and the big difference between Japan and the US was the intended life of the part. US spec parts were designed to last the warranty period and just a little bit…

80's face Mustang reminds me of the Torino King Cobra

Ford doesn’t make an EcoBoost V8 and they were pimping the EB engines and taking advantage of the packaging it offered for class leading aero at the time.

Ergo, it’s not that they couldn’t - they just didn’t have a reason to. Same with the 004C - Glickenhaus on the his FB page said they chose the pushrod engine because…

DUI aside, how do people figure she was “going about 100" - did any of these experts pick a fixed object and actually pace the car?

Batteries of course are the biggest issue but the simplified powertrain will last a lot longer compared to an internal combustion engine. If the motors are capable of using magnetic bearings then wear is virtually zero.

The internal combustion engine has to deal with harmonics, a higher degree of thermal cycling and a…

Neutral: Why am I not buying? Easy enough, I’ve got less than 3 years left on my current note and have had a steady car payment going back to 2001.

Naw, make mine coyote powered! Or I guess if you want to go extra nuts snatch the transaxle from a C8 and stuff the 5.2 predator in there for a sort of timey-wimey days of future past 2nd gen Ford GT/S550 GT500 bizarro homage.   

There are plenty of Ford guys who still dig pushrod power but if you wanted the most current Ford power it was OHC.

The 6.2 SOHC never really lived up to its promise and never really took off especially when Ford started pushing the EBV6 in the mainline trucks.

Godzilla at least offers Ford guys an up-to-date pushrod…

Shocker! Give engineers a goal and a budget and let them do their thing! 9/10 when the company is focused less on the stock price and more on the engineering and quality they do better.

Its a lesson I’m sure US auto execs will never learn as they drive their companies into the grave. 

Really any >> insert performance car here << since performance car owners tend to drive aggressively. Although I suspect some of that is sour grapes since performance cars tend to handle, brakes and accelerate better and they aren’t shy about using those attributes.

Camaro owners came to mind for me since I see a lot…

Sure there is, the LS and LT engines really leverage big bore and large displacements well using fairly aggressive cam timing for an OE engine. Those things make it harder to meet emissions and NVH expectations. Multivalve DOHC engines are simply better in that regard since more ideal bore sizes can be used to…

The LS hate is due to its popularity, even in high end builds like the Ring Brother cars you pretty much know what is going to motivate the car
