I thought they shot chickens at the windshield with a cannon to test them. I’m surprised it broke the glass. Also- google “chicken canon testing” lots of fun videos.

Agreed that VW and Stellantis have the same product problem. The problems are somewhat different though. Stellantis is cancelling products at a rate that far exceeds their replacements coming to market. The Charger/300/Challenger were all supposed to be replaced with the incoming Daytona but it isn’t here yet. In…

I would love to have Reese get into a street race in his Chevelle vs. Girard Sr’s Alfa Romeo or whatever in the backwoods of Tennessee. That would be fun.

Hard to do that if you don’t know where you are.  Sounds like he lost instruments which would indicate location.

I want to throw a Godzilla 7.3 in one of these sooo bad.

The closest answer I’ve got is Morgan, but they are owned by a private European investment firm from Italy with the original Morgan family as minority shareholders.

You didn’t specify what kind of off-road so I’m going with the Celica GT-Four All-trac. With the I3 turbo out of the Corolla GR you could really have something.

My uncle had a Ramcharger and the Ram hood ornament on the front was the coolest.  With the 318 and Dana 44 axles they are pretty beefy.

NP with the full knowledge that all Izuzu’s are absolute death traps. I know 3 people who have owned one and 3 people who have tipped one. They have a super high center of gravity, are not particularly heavy, and in 2WD are easy to lose control of. 

I wonder if the 110V AC has a breaker somewhere in the truck.  Also, being exterior mounted it really should be a GFCI.  They look to be a 15A regular ol’ outlet.

The big downside of not going through a dealer network is not having the service side set up. There needs to be a robust maintenance and parts distribution set up for recalls, maintenance, and repair. There’s also the matter of who does the pre-delivery inspection (PDI) on the vehicle.  No one wants to get a new…

1. Turbo V6, not 2.0T I4

Isn’t a “drunk driver” just called a “driver” in Wisconsin?

They could also go the other way and lower it and throw the full Focus RS engine/Trans in there.  It has all the potential for a sport truck.

They won’t even let us have a regular STi any more...

A Savana would be nice to have with the Duramax, especially the middle of the road 3.0.  Although a SS with a supercharged LS would be awesome.

The Honda Accord. The old Accord Sport with the 2.0T and a manual was super rad. Throw the Type-R/Integra engine in it and give it a manual. Lower it on some sport springs and put a more agressive front end on it. As a matter of fact bring back all the old Japanese sedan sport models. Altima SE-R, Sentra SE-R,…

This is the correct answer.  Mazdaspeed all the things.  And put manuals back in them!

Both of those are cars the reach upmarket and for the most part achieved their aim. They also sell very poorly. The Arteon has the chops to compete with the base models of more expensive cars in terms of performance and build quality. The interior is actually really nice on the inside. Same with the Phaeton-…
