With youtube, kids are actually quite aware of C&C Mustangs. A friend, who owns a GT, told me that one day when he returned to his car two kids were looking at it, with their phones out. One of them said: “Its definitely the same car, maybe there is still some blood, or bones!” He had to prove to them that the car in…

In the long run, that is exactly what I would predict for the Mustang. Let’s be honest, the Mustang 5.0 is only alive as long as the F150 has the same engine. Once they drop it from the F150, it is gone from the Mustang, too.

If he would shut up, it would be fine. I really don’t care if someone would do it 3% quicker or slower, who cares, but his commentary is just boring. I hope he shuts up from now on and it was only his introduction.

It wears nine layers of paint, which is why it can appear brown

You are guessing 8 years? That is a bit optimistic, I am going for 28, or so. Really depends on the improvements in pumpkin medicine...

Hope that the Giulia sells well and this thing sells badly. If only the Alfa SUV sells well, we can say goodby to sports sedans. If only the SUVs sell, why should they bother bringing anything but SUVs?

I think the Levante is a size bigger

One could think that, but there is one really bad example BMW. They managed to do the unthinkable and build perfectly clean US-speck diesels.

Of course I know that the Town and country back then wasn’t a minivan, but I have to disagree on the “Pentastar is a sophisticated motor”. If thats true, than the Fiat 500X is a very sophisticated off-roader.

This is gold!

Kind of impressive that they had a 2.2 turbo Town and Country in 1987, where todays Pacifica still has a NA engine with no direct fuel injection. Somehow Chrysler has gone back in development.

Imagine in 10 years people will think our car is interesting without you having to read them your spec sheet for 30 minutes. Really great car by the way, but it just looks boring as hell.

The hard thing to say, with every modded car, is how was it driven. 35k miles could be the equivalent of 350k miles on the drivetrain on a heavily modded car, if it was driven like most do. There is a reason why manufacturers don’t rise boost pressure to 3 bar...

The US will probably stay with the 1.8l engine, which is a shame, since the 1.5 is way more advanced, with a variable turbine geometry turbo, something only found in the 911 Turbo so far. Which means full torque from 1500 rpm with no turbo lag. So the 1.5 might actually be more fun to drive than the more powerful 1.8.

I would agree, but would he?

Its like a Fiesta you can sell at a profit, because CUV. Which seems to perfectly describe any crossover-car relationship. Cars don’t sell, so put it on stilts, jack up the MSRP by 50% and people will buy it like crazy.

No AWD though... for that you’d have to buy a R and those can’t be had for 15k. I found one for 16k, but with 120k miles on it. Most are 20k and above.

So? Do you think the republican party, whose members are heavily funded by multinational companies, would hurt the hands that feed them?

This car would be really cool if it:

I don’t really think that China, Japan and Germany are getting any aids from the US though...
