How? They are planning to upscale their entire brand and already started to roll out more and more automatics. Take even the MX-5, great car, but if you want a better one you go for the Fiat 124 Abarth. Why did Mazda let Fiat build (well spec) a better car? The Mazdaspeed brand is dead with no sign of rebirth. The…

Did I say they were exactly the same? The F18 is more akin to the Super Hornet than in any comparison to the F35. Canada has contracts with existing manufacturers to building F18 components, those contracts could be extended to another Boeing product far easier than having to tool up for a Lockheed product. We have…

Sure, the physical unit price but not the total life time price. Canada already has the infrastructure, mechanics, component manufacturing and knowledge on the Hornet frame, but not the F35. That knowledge/infrastructure base is almost 50% of the aircrafts’ cost over its life time.

I think I see Canada’s next jet. F35 it’s just too expensive for our nation to swallow

sure, cannot feed its people, but sure as hell can lob enough weapons into South to kill scores there. The North knows it has no end game, its an all or nothing approach. Plus, “hey you’ll get to eat lots of food once you’re in the South” can be a huge troop motivator.

Those seats are totally from my Fiat 500 Abarth!!! They are pretty good in my car, but for the money you’ll spend on a Wrangler I’d hope for a hell of a lot better!

Warm up? In ‘94 yeah that was a problem, not modern diesels. Start and drive. Sure the cabin will take forever to warm as the heat is diverted to warm the engine faster, but the days of waiting for the engine to warm up are long gone. Hell, I would say my 500 Abarth has a worse cold engine start-and-go than my fathers…

I’d argue this has been an ongoing thing and its not new. Yes, I’ll concede that there is still a big jump to Bentley quiet, but its not as though they haven’t done a leap in silence since the 1990's.

That is what I stated... -_- the question is would we again buy a Hornet replacement (F-18 Super Hornets which we are) and have install the full carrier package with Magic Carpet system? Just like our old F-18s which have the full aircraft carrier landing package. (ie, might be part of a NORRAD/NATO deal with the US…

I wonder if the Canadian purchase of these will include the Carrier package? The current F18s here have the carrier landing package due to our requirements to land on highways/temporary runways. Albeit, we’ll probably not get the Magic Carpet system. But its interesting because Canadian F-18's could theoretically land…

Everything but the airbox

Stay in first gear and not get a ticket you say....

This is the exact stretch she got ticketed on

They could have started down the right path with the SRT8 and made luxury cars that were also worthy of taking on AMG... but instead they squandered that entire division

Gee, that dealership service model isn’t looking so bad eh?

Sure, but the S2000 back in 2009 was double the cost of the S660. If you could get the S660 here in Canada for its $16,000 sticker price, I think you’d get a lot of people not caring about the power to weight. Seriously, I wouldn’t care about the straight speed when I toss around a thing like this.

at 30lbs per hp, its not a slouch. Sure its not a Porsche, but the damn thing would cost nothing for an extremely good power to weight ratio.

Yeah, Toyota.. I think you need to reflect on your history before you group the AE86/FRS into the Celica heritage...

I might make this happen...
