The main issue that I have seen for the last few years is that for the same money you can get something like a Camry or Accord which will have more interior room, have better fuel economy, be more reliable, have better resale, and have equal if not superior interior quality.  They aren’t necessarily bad cars, they are…

What is there in a 20,000 mile maintenance schedule that could necessarily warrant that much? 20k should be about the second or third oil change, second tire rotation, and a couple of filters.

Memories of my 10 year old self.

Are you really against having manufacturing in the US?  The quickest way to add poverty is to kill manufacturing.

Because obviously nothing has changed in the last 20 years. 

No need for the extra power while driving to the tattoo parlor.

That’s because the toilet is a mechanically simple design that just works with very little external input.  As long as the float can close the valve and the flapper can re-seat you have a self regulating and functioning toilet.

I have no idea how this is considered illegal if you aren’t attempting to break any copy protection mechanisms?  I had an optical drive go out on a PS3 once.  It was a quick $25 purchase of a new drive and a few minutes to remove the PS3 case and swap the drives.  Everything worked out of the box, and no software was…

Those are 1LEs. The 5th gen 1LEs have the 10 spoke ZL1 wheel design and the black wrapped hood.

The ZL1 retained it’s front end because of the additional cooling requirements from the supercharger and higher output motor. The front end on the ZL1 was also designed to assist with downforce. Because of the functionality of the original design Chevrolet decided to not update the ZL1 front end. They followed this…

However, the pictures in the article and in Nic’s post are both SS models.  The article’s pictures also include a prototype design for a body colored bumper and bow tie relocation.

The renders in the article include an optional dealer accessory bow tie replacement and body colored bumper. This reveal is also kind of a pre-SEMA teaser.  The photo you posted is the factory look for the 2019 SS.

This isn’t that massive. It’s comparable in size to the first generation of Traverse/Acadia/Enclave. The Acadia was 201.1" long, 78.9" wide, and 72.8" tall. Those also managed to have 3 seats in the 3rd row. They also had middle row options of a bench seat with 3 seats (total of 8) or 2 captains chairs (total of 7).

I can’t say for sure how the fences are designed. I’ve never seen one used in person, and I’ve never had the experience of using one myself. Sorry for not reading into the sarcasm, but yours wasn’t the first post referencing brake sizes/bashing drag racing in general.  I just felt the need to say something.

Like this?  I too was raised in the backseat of a Camaro.  A 1983 Camaro followed up with a 1995 Camaro.  I carry on this tradition to my kids.

They utilize a system of parachutes and brakes to slow down, and it works perfectly well thousands of times every season. However, in the event that something does go awry, the design of the track and the cars assist with ensuring driving safety. You have the roll cage, the seat harness, the suit, the helmet, the…

Precisely, it is the same as hitting an object of the same weight moving the same speed because that immovable wall can only exert the same amount of force on the F150 as the F150 is exerting on it. Now think of the scenario of a Miata hitting an F150. In the crash tests, both cars hit the wall and stop basically…

I imagine that these were pushed at lower volumes than the older styles.  The name of the car probably also contributes to the depreciation curve as well.  Excluding the rental factor, an identically equipped, model year, and mileage Avalon will always have a higher residual than an Impala based on the badge alone.

You are correct.  It looks like the Impala moved to the W chassis around 2000, however, the origins of that chassis go back to the late 80s.

The Impala had a major design overhaul in 2014. I would imagine that the depreciation is based off 2013 models which were built on the third generation of the W platform which can ultimately trace its roots back to the 80s.
