I was hoping they would cover that in the post. I’ve had the ones you’re referring to since Apple decided headphone jacks are superfluous. Besides the “cool” factor I’m not sure what the advantage of the truly “free” design is. I really like the controls on the wire between the pods on the $150 model.

Too bad the EU, and more specifically Germany, will do nothing about it. They’re more interested in punishing Google for favoring their services on their *own* search engine. Protectionism is a strong as ever in Western Europe.

I appreciate your affirmation of my previous reply.

Not sure if its actually RWD biased in this application but it’s the same GKN Twinster system that’s used in the Focus RS.

Exact same AWD system as the Focus RS. Called the Twinster and its made by GKN.

You are a complete moron.

Obviously you’ve never heard of ASAT’s you simpleton.

Not saying you’re wrong but let’s not pretend the Europeans are above protectionist BS in enforcing regulations. The EU suits against Apple and especially Google are obvious attempts to help their utterly uncompetitive tech sector.

Or have Katech give it a once over and spend some time above 7k at Gingerman worry-free.

your wish is coming in the form of the sub-ATS

you are behind the times my friend

yup, all the product people in NA are very happy about this

How close is the nearest Multimatic location? I wonder if they test there often.

Calabogie is closest track to Multimatic dev centers. Makes sense seeing as they’re the ones that developed/built the car... Ford made a nice engine though.

You’re definitely right about their intended functions, but I have my doubts people will know or perceive the difference. My mom (54y/o) went from a Regal Turbo to an ATS and claims she liked the Buick better because it was “more sporty” despite my reasoned argument to the contrary. And I could’ve swore the Malibu had…

There’s a 10 inch difference in wheelbase between a 5 and a 7 series, there’s a 3 inch difference between the LaCrosse and the Insignia featured in the article...

Without knowing the dimensions, you may be able to buy this car right now... its called the Buick LaCrosse. This might have slightly different dimensions but they’re both built on Epsilon 3/xx and use the same GKN Twinster AWD system (Focus RS, XT5, Evoque, Envision). The 9 speed is the GM-Ford jointly developed…

Clinton Township kid here, this made me Lol. But in seriousness, I think they’re gonna replace it with office buildings.

They’re gonna tear it down and build more office space. FCA and other auto suppliers can’t get enough Auburn Hills real estate.
