Because no one wanted to maintain a Cadillac like a Mercedes, thats why the engine ultimately was scraped for pig-iron reliability. The Cadillac marque at the time couldn’t get back on the luxury car “maintenance” schedule as American’s essentially wanted an American engine to last forever with as little maintenance…
Ah yes, when I graduated I couldn’t wait to add to my 70K of student debt with a brand new car...........
Except you completely forgot the Northstar engine, which ultimately was a gem in the GM lineup even though it was mostly hoarded by Cadillac, making its way into a couple Pontiac’s. Ultimately, it was never utilized or innovated from its initial design, which was miles ahead of any pushrod tech they had going at the…
The part I don’t understand with the new stance era is the lack of air ride adjustability. I grew up in the thick of stanced cars and particularly stanced small trucks like S10's. We all had air rides put in so we could raise and lower and modern air rides are so much smaller than my generations.
So BMW just made an SL... One can hope the Toyota variant will be a bit more ground breaking in style. Not saying either are an ugly car, but it feels like a big miss when the previous Z4 set its own styling apart.
Whoa, hold the horses on Canada not showing up, we haven’t been invited to the US-Mexico talks!
Also, things like backup camera’s are now mandatory on US & Canadian cars. So, essentially you cannot buy a North American car without some sort of screen interface.
First gen Rx-7 is dead simple to work one, barley more complicated than any British 2 seater of the era.... however, 3rd gen... that’s a completely different ball of wax. The FC introduced the obscene complexity, the FD completed it!
Freaking is very warranted, as the SEC has stated that such claims that Musk made have to be true and backup by proof. This is why the SEC is now (allegedly) investigating Musk’s claims as it could be considered illegal to what he Tweeted, and the SEC has already ruled on many occasions that Tweets are just as valid a…
Van Rampage jokes? Little too soon?
While I’ll give praise to Tom C for doing a lot of his own stunts that allow for the continuous shot, its a far cry from the gems that cinema has already put out there.
My very first car I bought (not shown), 1982 Mazda Rx-7 had those vents integrated right into the exterior body design. Always appreciated that level of detail that Mazda gave their classic cars.
I absolutely loved the series and finished it within a day. Probably one of the few comparable ‘toons to Futurama, minus the more “stark sarcasm” of the later series I would disagree with the critic that the show would have been better for children and I think that is just a product of the animation style rather than…
However, people said exactly the same thing when Ford’s stock took a plunge before the last recession as they restructured their company. Guess what happened? They restructured successfully, the stock market crashed and Ford was able to weather the whole event with cash in hand and never took a bailout. Ford knows how…
Oh I totally agree, they spent a hell of a lot of time designing something that is incredible beige and “safe” for the consumer.
Except meanwhile at BMW they were doing crazy things in 1999..
Riiiiiiiiiighhhhhttt
Country is greeeeaaattt....
