Bought one with 38,000km, by the time I sold it 1 YEAR LATER at 80,000km I’d already had to replace a rear wheel bearing, the paint was pealing off the roof, the interior was falling apart... but man, it was a blast to drive.
Oh I have thought the same, or even just throwing the twin-turbo V6 from Ford into the Vics. Already gives 100 more hp and has way better fuel economy than the old 4.6L modular.
They are actually doing what you’re asking for. The Suburban’s and especially the Crown Victoria’s were horrendous on gas compared to the new Explorer. So the new explorer already gets better mileage than what its replacing and has increase rear crash protection for highway stops. Wouldn’t doubt that these new…
Not surprising considering a lot of the big companies rent out capacity to smaller breweries. Here in Canada its well known that Molson and Sleemans (Sapporo) all rent out brewing capacity (contract brewing) to the smaller guys who do not have the capital to scale up. Then if the small guy gets big enough to pose a…
Yeah, but how to you upscale the car when its nearing the end of its production run? Painting the plastic work is always the formula for late models to boost that “fresh” factor for an aging design.
Those dolls seem really really familiar. Like, were they pulled form somewhere else and re-badge with the “Feel Better Tag”?
Magna PT (formerly GETRAG) transaxles for Porsches current and previous catalogue; all the way back to the 60's. So, it makes perfect sense that they continue to make transaxle manuals when they have all the tooling in place. Also, attachment housing to the boxer engines haven’t changed much for Magna to require a…
It wasn’t GM not developing one, it was the transmission manufacturers not developing a manual. If you take GM’s comments as gospel, the transmission manufacturers have no interest in making a system that can fit in the same space as a DCT. Its not that GM couldn’t make the cost work, the manufacturers don’t see any…
Everything VW and Audi are doing are just blending back to their roots...
You’re move Toyota
I think a large base will be pissed by the lack of storage. This has always been the hallmark of the Corvette, sports car ability, practical cargo bay.
Behold the ugliness of late 90's two-tone
I’ll echo a lot of what others have said, that the two new guys come off a little too “bro” and “college frat” at times, which I think drags the show down a little. I think what made the charm of the old TG was that they weren’t bros, weren’t elites either, and all came from writing/radio/tv backgrounds that allowed…
Mythbusters... been there, done that...
I don’t understand why modern cars with hood struts have such long struts. My crown vic has two small and discreet ones that can hold the weight of giant slab of steel.
Or just get a Haynes manual with digital copy?
