Type 3 had the best face tho:

Butterass? Butterass.

Uniform inspired by various mid-late 1800s imperial European cavalry/admirals’/generals’ dress uniforms, example:

Weird, but good.

“Regrettably” = we regret being inevitably caught, and being on the hook for up to $37,500 per vehicle (civil suits notwithstanding) to save $300 per vehicle.

Honda’s current V6 (J35) actually manages to have both intake and exhaust VTEC (and variable cylinder management) with just SOHC. It makes good power NA, and in TT form (along with a 2.8L TT version) it’s the only Honda engine in P2 and PWC cars.

Assuming it’s resolved by software patch:
More EGR -> less torque -> more RPM needed for the same performance -> lower economy.

An NYT comment: ‘As a former VW owner, I’m most surprised that they made an electronic system that worked.’

Aside from the Pagani others mentioned, Porsche tried this in the ‘60s on the 908:

If you want the best lap time, the 918 has shown the path lies in electric motors in the front providing torque vectoring. A V12 vs V8 in the middle makes little weight difference at a given displacement, and they don’t care about the mpg of a car they’ll only make a few of anyway. The 0.5L/cyl optimum is for…

Missing: cylinder head!

GM’s number was a final settlement.
VW’s number is a statutory cap — final number will be much lower.

OK, so I misjudged the implications on tooling. You clearly have experience from which to guess this is an irrational move. It sounded like they were forced to shuffle to increase production of big, high-margin vehicles, and I figured truck buyers would be most likely to shun a foreign-made vehicle.

Disneyland is better anyway. At least, about 25 years ago, as a kid.

Aside from the conservative context noted by others:

This had occurred to me as well. But keep in mind that the logistics chains, buyers’ desires, and toolings are not the same.

The typeface is good. Nesting is good. Gray status per sublog is still stupid. At least allow editors of each site to ungrey across their site. Replying should just ungrey for that page tho; it should be stars that ungrey across the site.

It’s also a style of music, though this song may be too modern to qualify. He could intend both meanings at once.

Conformal tanks like on the Strike Eagle add less drag (and reduce maneuverability less) than external tanks. Can’t be dropped though.
