The wheel/tire does look weirdly small and it is not like there’s much sidewall there.  Could’ve gone with a slightly larger wheel package to fill that space.

The first thing I would’ve done is to come out with a hybrid on the 300/Charger/Challenger platform. They could’ve even spread the production costs and use a similar set up to the range extender type hybrid in the Ramcharger or they could’ve developed something 15 years earlier through a co-op with GM, Ford, Toyota,…

I’m not going to claim the the Hurricane I6TT isn’t innovative it just seems tone deaf when the company has been shoving HEMI marketing into every commercial for the last 20 years.  To say the Hemi is their crown jewel is accurate as it was the staple engine for like 75% of their vehicles.

My ‘93 civic Si met or exceeded the EPA estimate for MPG it’s whole existence. I bought the car with 195k and sold it with 300k. Full synthetic it’s whole life.  Same for my ‘13 Si, Mazda 3, and many other cars I’ve owned.  Modern engines last a crazy long time without rebuilds and will stay within factory specs. …

It was just absolutely poor product planning.  It is fine to kill off the Hemi but only if the direct replacements are ready to roll out in tandem.  IMO they should’ve worked on a V8 replacement for the Hemi that was in the works instead of the Hurricane I6 but it is too late for that.  Stellantis makes their money on…

That’s what I was wondering.  Did dude just happen to have his camera on video pointed at the glass? 

Anything from TVR:

The LC is equipped with a hybrid where the battery fills up the space used for the 3rd row.  My guess is opting for a higher trim with the hybrid in the 4R also locks out the 3rd row since the platform is the same.

There used to be an SR5 premium (I have one) which was basically a nicer version of the SR5- heated Softex seats, upgraded sound system, and power adjustable passenger seat. I didn’t want any of the off-road stuff because a 4R is plenty capable out the door and that just adds cost to maintenance down the road. I…

If my car lost 10% range over 62k miles I’d be pissed.  The car should have the advertised range for the life of the vehicle.  My ICE vehicles have not lost any range during there life span, some with over 300k miles.

It seems to me that tires go pretty quickly on EV vs. ICE cars. I am curious how well the suspension and steering components (control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rods, etc.) hold up with the additional weight of an EV but that should be considered during the design phase. Really the parts you save on are brake pads…

“The survey reached EV drivers worldwide, primarily through GEVA’s 64 member organizations, or their collaborating partners.”  So they reached out to members of their pro-EV Global Alliance to show that people would buy an EV again.  This is pretty self serving data.  It would be like reaching out to a Ford truck…

“according to the consumer lobby that represents about 336,000 EV drivers.”

I honestly think if this was a bone stock Forester XT with 87k miles that this would be NP. That being said the mods make me say ND because to bring it back to stock it would cost a lot.

For $17k I want a head unit.  The big ol’ hole in the dash is making this a ND.

Probably Toyota.  Most people I know who own a Toyota just treat them like an appliance.  They just know if they do the basic maintenance it will start for them every morning and that’s it.  I know one guy who had 3 highlanders in a row he just paid it off and traded it in and kept the payments the same.

The Acura ZDX?

That chrome at eye level is going to be blinding in the afternoon sun.

Realistically the best thing to do is swap in a GM based V6 and do away with the problematic Rover V8. I would probably try to build a turbo V6 based around GM parts and have something that would truly fly.

The supercharged V6 was the only one you could get with a manual.  It was pretty awesome too.
