I understand this to logically be true, but that is certainly not how American consumers think.

4 door trucks have basically replaced family sedans in many parts of the US. Since the big 3 have basically abandoned the sedan segment and moved everything to crossovers many people just end up going with a pickup truck.  They hold their value really well and have much more capability than crossovers even though they…

There is something to be said about the ubiquity of Tesla’s supercharger set up. I see them in far more locations than the Electrify America chargers and I haven’t heard of any issues with a supercharger frying a Tesla. I am by no means a Tesla supporter but credit where credit is due when it comes to building up a…

My big issue with Lordstown is the hub motor design. It seems to me that the problem long term will be access of the pads and rotor for maintenance as well as any suspension and steering components around the hub. It also seems like the hub bearing will be under a lot of stress which Lordstown says they’ve accounted…

A reluctant NP because the body is in good shape. Anything German of this vintage that hasn’t been bitten by the tin worm gets my vote.  This is the more desirable of the E28's (the 528e being the low end, 535is being the high end) so it has the engine going for it.  I’d need to look up what the rear is but I’m pretty…

I think his true genius is that he knows how a car should feel, outside of just how to engineer it. All the touch points, the exhaust sound, the steering feel, etc. He just understands intangibles in a way that others don’t.  It kind of helps to have a blank check I suppose.

That price it what I would pay for this without a salvage title. So ND. I’ve had a MK IV the interior falls apart in your hands literally (My GTI’s seat release broke off). The MAF will throw a Check Engine Light if you look at it the wrong way. These cars were poorly built the first time.  Probably not much better…

Yea the dealership has cause to sue for lost income to the cleaning company if they can prove they are culpable for changing the machine settings.  They’d have to present the camera footage of the person messing with the machine as evidence and prove that they have lost sales because of this incident.  Which would…

^this Munroe doesn’t have extensive knowledge of how any system would integrate into an OEM factory set.  That comes from a supplier level, through production, and into sustainment.  Honestly I don’t even know if Tesla has any thoughts to sustainment as I’ve never gone into a parts store and tried to buy parts for one.

Don’t need to swap them they already come with either a B20 or a K24 throw some boost in there and you got 300whp.

Just for some clarity, is the manual available on all engine options? I thought the 2.3 only came in auto for some reason. From the article it sounds like both tranmissions are available throughout the lineup, which I believe is false.

Lowered CR-V’s (aka conventional wagons) look sweet. Reminds me of the old Forester XTI concept

The Millenia was so much more unique than just V6 supercharged. It is one of a handful of cars that I know that used the Miller Cycle instead of a conventional Otto or Atkinson Cycle.

Aluminum is one of those metals that is pretty easy to recycle without degraded its properties. Ford should make a concience effort to scoop back F150's (and other aluminum bodied vehicles) that are out of service and reuse as much of the raw materials as possible and incentivize it by giving a discount on a new…

It is less that 11 second 0-60 is dangerously slow and more that this car’s performance changed drastically. A common mantra is to know your car’s limitations (braking, handling, and in this case acceleration). If there is a left turn I routinely make across 2 lanes of traffic, I should know how much space I need in…

A new data point to collect information on and sell to third partys!  Huzzah!

Farley has done that “More than half the leadership team is new to the company since Farley took over in late 2020. Among his hires are Doug Field from Apple’s car project and Alan Clarke from Tesla”.  Now I would agree that 2 years is not a long time to correct a company with so much momentum but any issues with…

There’s a few brands that make all in one jack/jack stands. That may solve your jack stand dilemma.

Honestly the body alone on this is probably worth that.  Hard to find these that aren’t rusted to bits.

TBH I’d still rather have a newer American V6 that is lighter, more powerful, and easier to source parts, than a very old small displacement V8.
