I’m not sure I agree with this. All of the 20teen era cars that I have driven have had substantially less useable power than all of the comparable (same model/similar model) mid-2000's era cars that I have driven. You might have a better power per displacement ratio, but the amount of power that actually goes through…

Ford transmissions in the last 10 years have been pretty horrible. It’s rich of them to act like GM’s transmission isn’t good enough.

Neutral: Number of gears is irrelevant if the tranny is shit. The 6F35 transmission in the transit connect leaks and slips before 50k miles. Ford needs to improve the quality first and foremost.

Doesn’t more gears mean more shifting? And doesn’t more shifting mean more heat & more wear? And doesn’t the promise of “smoother shifts” mean more clutch-pack slip, hence even more heat and wear?

It seems to me that you can substitute ‘Amazon’ for ‘Tesla’, or any number of other new tech companies. Or old real estate companies for that matter - seems to be a kerfuffle over subcontractors stiffed, over visa programs being abused, etc. Someone should investigate.

Please explain how “this has nothing to do with Tesla.”

Can’t even come to read car articles without people like you existing.

Andrew, I read and browsed the whole article and have no idea what the interior looks like. Just a few buttons here and there and a view out the sunroof.

$77,000?

To be fair, only one percent of the bikes are estimated to have the defect, but there is still an awfully high number involved.

173,998 of those motorcycles will spend most of their life idling loudly in a suburban driveway for 30 minutes, then a great big fat man will climb aboard, ride it around the block twice, then return home. It will then sit there, idling loudly for a further 30 minutes to “cool down” before it is washed, waxed and…

Harleys have brakes? At their speed i didnt think you’d need ém

How could you tell that their brakes failed? They never really worked to begin with.

This is a sales technique. HD knows that their customers have to buy at least 2.4 items of flare every time they enter an HD dealer.

98% of all Harley Davidson’s motorcycles sold are still on the road, 2% made it home.

Whew. This could have been much worse if it had affected vehicles typically driven faster than 10 mph.

Wasn’t there some scandal a few years back about reviewers experiencing brake fade and failure with Harleys? I seem to remember that one side of the peanut gallery was saying that this was unacceptable and the other side retorted by saying, “just don’t use the brakes and you won’t have this problem.”

To be fair, the brakes on my Harley didn’t work for crap to start with.

Hogs aren’t really built to ride anyway. They’re just props for a certain lifestyle.
