Acting: they can’t do it

I think the badges are meant to become a conversation piece for your friends to gawk over when you invite them to look at your Valkyrie sitting in your garage, since these cars will likely never get driven.

I don’t think he was lying, since he actually worked a deal for my sister-in-law to lease a 2018 Stinger GT while he was working there. She got the last atomic blue 2018 GT in Ontario, and he threw on every single Kia promotion he could.

I did see a pair of C8s on a car transporter in Toronto last week, so there likely are a few out prowling the streets.

GM sure loves killing expensive high feature engines after little to no use:

Ollie just looks like our little lab mix, Nova, and if it were me driving that Escalade on that fateful day, I would have MURDERED that Mustang driver.

I’m voting fake because Dorf-1 mentions the condition of the 2005 Camry in question but doesn’t mention the “Camry dent” that all Camrys of that vintage would have and which would surely irritate the employers.

Sorry Erik, but you got hosed. I can’t imagine any car needing a serpentine belt replacement, coolant flush or injector and throttle body cleaning to pass a state inspection. Brake fluid maybe, but I doubt the gov’t really cares about the quality of the fluid so long as it’s not below the “LOW” level in the reservoir.…

Mazda should put the 2.0L Sky-X in the 3/6/CX-30/CX-5 as the base engine, and the 2.5T as the upgraded engine on top trim levels. They have the interior and styling to suit their ‘premium’ prices, now they need the technically advanced engines to match. Also, make the 2.5T in the 3 and 6 hotter, something like 275-300h…

That could have been an issue with the cruise control actuator sticking. Modern cars with throttle-by-wire eliminate that actuator, and therefore have less points of failure in the system.

At least your vehicle is a truck, that makes the colour less boring and the army inspired paint suits the theme.

I know the Phantom always kind of outclassed the Mulsanne, but if I ever became incredibly wealthy, I rather have a 6 3/4 litre powered Mulsanne Speed than a Phantom VIII. I don’t care if it’s less classy and has fewer cylinders, it just seems like a more fun ultra luxury vehicle.

I was going to reply the same thing. The CTR engine is cool, but the AMG 45S has an insane output (110hp more than CTR) for the same 2.0L displacement.

Counter counter point:

Odd that there’s no option to configure a 2020 CX-5 diesel on the American or Canadian Mazda websites. I wonder if this was a one year model that was pulled due to low sales.

How about automakers flip the phrase and start telling us about how well suited their cars are for lifestyle activism?

Seems odd that KTM and Husqvarna would both be competing since KTM owns Husky.

3rd Gear: I will forever more refer to Mitsubishi as Bishibishi
