I assure you the average American man cannot fit through that back window, especially with the center headrest in place. That window is good for two things: grabbing cold ones out of the cooler and sucking a vortex of leaves and pine needles into the cab under way.

It ain't like its impossible to get decent mileage, on the highway anyways...

The Raptor has a 7" wider track than a normal F150.

Or, would you rather it crammed neatly into the spot next to you, only leaving enough room to bounce your doors off of the step rail?

I heard that you can actually see through the Buick portholes and that they are in fact functional.

Just as long as she wasn't thinking that she was saving the planet by demanding the un-renewable resources that the manufacture of a new hybrid requires every 3-5 years.

Someone tell me why on earth would anyone lease a hybrid or a diesel? These vehicles only make up for the increased cost over the long term or above average mileage driver. Great deal for the 2nd owner though.

I've been a victim of the joyriding before. The two times I've ever dropped my Raptor off at a stealership, I've set up the 2nd key as a Ford MyKey with all the lamest settings and given them that. I also drop it off with less than 2 gallons of gas left in the tank. I'm sure that they can bypass MyKey with a bit of…

Nah, I'm not really going to waste my time. None of these are US domestic production cars, they're all one-off works cars, not Civics with a fart can out back. I'm talking about real production vehicles like the one referenced in the article.

Ulwe Ellinghaus is Cadillac's newest head of marketing and spent more than 10 years at BMW, so he'd be a good guy to ask about luxury brand proliferation. It makes to have some kind of ATS-V since there's a CTS-V and XTS Vsport.

TL;DR... The new F150 is a bigger deal for decreasing US domestic oil consumption than a new hybrid car, because Americans are obsessed with driving trucks and the F150 has been the #1 selling vehicle for years. It has a far more profound effect on decreasing domestic oil consumption than a typical person cross…

Nope, if it's a Honda Civic and you're throwing money at it trying to make it a competitive (against anything other than other econoboxes) race car, you're wasting money and it sounds like crap... unless you put FI on it, then it has at least has a totally redeeming exhaust note and a chance at going fast in…

Comments that insult my automotive knowledge based upon a single subjective observation imply that you throw blanket statements around and aren't open to constructive criticism.

Yeah, because the Abarth exhaust note is so crappy compared to its NA brethren. Case in point; NA 4 bangers generally sound like total rice until you throw FI on them.

Most of the Vettes made since the C5 have been competitive on the track with contemporaries of their time. They may be of marginal build quality with bits of creaky plastic crap falling apart everywhere in the interior, but they can hang with Porsches and other vehicles that cost far more than they do brand new, with…

I disagree, my Raptor has a slushbox and its always bumblefucking around and picking the wrong gears, or picking them seconds later after I tell it which one I want, whereas the DSG VW's I've driven are one of the first autotragics I'd actually enjoy owning.

I think you're confusing the Passat TDI with the Jetta TDI, the Passat has SCR but the CBEA/CJAA engines in the Golf/Jetta/A3/Beetle only have DPF, thats why the Passat gets slightly better real world mileage from my understanding. VWoA's site specs are devoid of any specific TDI emissions details, but everything else

Jetta TDI's don't use DEF and it doesn't take 150,000 to amoritize the cost difference of the TDI if you drive more than the average American does.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the gearing, the Raptor's transmission has the exact same gear ratios as the other F150's. The only difference are the 4:10 gears in the axles, which are optional on other F-series pickups.

The Supercab Raptor's towing capacity is 6,000lb and the Supercrew is 8,000lbs.
