that is simply because the sprinters are made in SC. the contract for electric Rivian sourced amazon vans is old news, but they have not yet really started sending them out. According to the agreements, Rivian is expected to deliver 100,000 EDV for Amazon by the end of 2025, including the first 10,000 by the end of…

then GM said hold my beer and released the hummer efficiency

even the upgraded “gaskets” don’t help that much with poorly design water jackets to cylinder design flaws.

people always say they want underpowered vehicles like the maverick but in the end if they can get a bit more upscale actually capabe AWD CRV or something like that they always seem to go t that. Now if Suzuki marketed this as a side by side in the US and stripped it down to a very capable(locking diffs and T case…

Kind of surprised GM has not revisited the GEO days and brought them over as trackers or something. they would need bigger engine for US appetites I think, but I would love to see them over here. Same with those Roxors, make them road legal without requiring a bunch of stupid electronics to help the bad drivers…

too bad they did not go all out on this one and really stump jeep. 2021 Tremor axles front and back. and A supercharged V8 would affectively kill the 392 and the T-Rex in one fell swoop. Should call it Indominus, not raptor though

I think I recall these engines shut off at the light as well if AC is off and battery is relatively well charged. I always wondered how that constant on off cycle affected oil sludging.

I certainly do not think FIAT and the word reliable mix well. But I digress. Depends on the era I suppose though and apparently what shore you claim. in the day the leaning tower of power was nearly indestructible. Though many a 305 CI GMC v6 still run to this day and they almost never get babied.

08 Hummer h3 alpha seems to be similar. last of the non AFM LS, no VVT, goes anywhere and is relatively cheap to maintain and repair if the need arises.

I mean you are only a little yellow wrap material and some underbody lights away once you put 90's era billet wheels and some beach bars on this bike. But it is a Harley, you will find that old harley’s often hide lots of other things that need fixed, they are often a nightmare, not a dream

I mean, i can say from experience that everyone I know has had decent experiences with them. I wanted to hate on the whole whiz bang process, but it honestly seems easier in most cases than the traditional route. just wish the pricing was not indicative of the convenience. 

I suppose to the few who are willing to fill the coffers of the local Merc mechanic until they go broke or finally give up, this is a nice price. ND for the rest of us. 

the early V10's like this also had a propensity to blow out spark plugs. But the price of a lowish mile Yaris is suddenly going up because no Chips for new vehicles. this camper is also going up in price. I think it would be a NP for someone looking to get an RV on the cheap that most likely would be usable for a few…

I think the issue with this unit as well as the very early C4's is the engine choices. this LTI is a reverse flow cooling optispark nightmare. the earlier cross-ram was worse, but not by much. I would take one of these with an early LS in a heartbeat though.

it is only nice price if you maybe want to debody it and make a Youtube video to double your money. then thrash it straight tot he junk yard. the Optispark will likely give up the ghost pretty fast, so no worry about it lingering for very long. 

I am sure GM is kicking itself for closing the chip plant in 2017 that now currently houses thousands of almost finished trucks. 

there would be no war on the ground or with bullets, they would just stop supplying us cheaply made crap and call in our debts. we would be speaking mandarin pretty soon I would bet.

unfortunately, all the people I have spoken to at th plants near me say the parts they are getting rarely meet minimum quality standards, so they have no faith in the longeveity of any of the new cars built in 2020 or 2021.

my 1970 more door Buick LeSabre looked an awefully lot like that vert. it was a fun car too. 

New Carb really means it has sat for too long not driven. That measn a lot more probably needs to be changed for it to work reliably. it has a pretty weak brake cylinder, so that probably is an issue. Basically with 4 doors and a lot of work to bring it around, it really is just a 3k car at best.
