I’m from a GM family so have always bought GM to support the employer of my relatives.

Something I’ve wondered about is the 88mm bore spacing VW commonly uses. 88 is neonazi shorthand for the 8th letter of the alphabet, so “HH,” or “Heil Hitler!”

Much ado about nothing.  You all make it sound like he shot the jogger.  

How does it have 500 hp yet only make 62 mph in 5 seconds? Typically electric motors produce massive low end torque so a 500 hp EV should be even quicker than a 500 hp gasser, yet somehow this BMW is a pig?

Good riddance. They’re no more than fasion accessories for men. Aggressively ancient technology slapped together without care. They are noisy for no reason, need constant repairs, and don’t do anything particularly well compared to modern competing products.

Gorgeous. The big maw is fine. Remember in real life we’ll be looking at it from a much higher angle.

A silky smooth inline six sounds like the perfect replacement for a rotary engine. Basically a B58 I6 turbo with Japanese reliability.

American taste exemplified: take a big ass box with lots of square windows and hard edges, slather on gaudy chrome trim and bolt on tacky oversized chrome rims. Slap on a few overwrough brand logos and price it to insult.

Doubtful that many Bugattis are purchased to drive. They’re essentially elaborate mechanical curiosities for the 0.1% to show off to each other.

Originally Cadillac were to get their own line of engines, and the Blackwing is among those planned engines. Then JDN left, the bean counters took control, and they ruled that Cadillac would need to use the same engines as Chevy, because they want to return to Cadillac’s glorious Cimarron roots.

So the sexual assaults and murders are based on data from only the US, but are the 1.3 billion total rides a worldwide total, or the US total?

Actually a better example is the cell phone charging connector scam. Way back when cell phones first became popular each brand had their own charger plug format, and they each changed that format with every new hardware generation, forcing consumers to buy new charger cables at inflated prices. It got so out of hand

You don’t seem to understand what it means to nationalize an industry.

Where did he say he wants to nationalize it? All he said was we should regulate it to ensure universal compatibility. He specifically said Tesla should be able to charge non-Tesla owners for using it.

That Audi battery design and thermal management looks identical to that of the Chevy Bolt, which has excellent range for it’s battery size (238 miles / 60 kWh battery).

So let me get this straight, the ATS had everything it took to take on the best of Germany, except for the powertrain. So GM decided the ATS’s successor would have even worse powertrain options? NVH dynamo four bangers to go head to head with BMW’s silky smooth inline sixes?

Ugh. I love that blue but it needs to lose the boy racer wing. The original spoiler lip was well-integrated with the car and I’m one of the few who actually like the new Supra’s design (except for the faux vents).

No, a FPC V8 is inherently unbalanced for second order vibrations, regardless of the firing order. That’s why Ferrari keeps the displacement around 4L for their FPC V8s.

Maybe the NA DOHC FPC V8 will power the C8 Grand Sport while a twin turbo version of the engine will power the ZO6?

Nice, but I still can’t get over the four banger. It has the power but it doesn’t rev smoothly and reminds me of a few tractors I’ve used over the years. Give me a Camaro V6 1LE over this Ecoboost, even if it has less twist it’s more fun.
