I feel like this is the ultimate answer.

The development was cheap as ****, it was properly fast, and supposedly would have held the production car top speed record for a period of time. This coming from an unexpected place in Chrysler... It was apparently also very close to production ready too before Daimler (Mercedes…

This is definitely true. the only real use case I see for them is through a home HiFi, in which case having them archived that way is actually somewhat convenient.

I’ll take a guess that if they really do make it, it’ll take a HP hit much like the 3.6 has when compared to other vehicles it’s available in.

I’m thinking 470HP/450lb-ft OR it’ll get the Ram 2500's variant of the 6.4 that makes 410hp/429lb-ft... possibly also detuned to something like 400/410.

I’ve never quite had anything (as far as car sound system, home sound system, or headphones) where the quality benefit would be there for FLAC over just a high-quality MP3 like 320mbps, and even when streaming has supposedly had the high-bitrate it’s been audibly missing things.

The massive space penalty for FLAC isn’t…

Now granted, I have issues with doubling/tripling of some of my music in my library thanks to multiple migrations across computers, and I’ve gone through and cleaned up a lot of it... but I presently show 15000 ‘songs’ in my iTunes library on my computer, or about 147.7GB worth.

The 1900 songs are split across 63…

I’ve reached the point where I just shuffle my music on my phone when I get in my car and skip anything I don’t like at that moment. I only may curate a playlist when I have a planned longer trip.

...but I’m also weird and have 1900 songs on my phone because I like to own and have my own music downloaded, plus it’s…

I assume PS5 will work like PS4/PS3 did. You have a primary of each console, not an overall primary.

So you should be able to have a

The 3.5 was a perfectly fine engine that Chrysler used for almost 20 years. It was outdated by the time it was retired, but only barely.

In fairness, Castriota hasn’t designed anything particularly ugly, and Bangle...... yeah

Oh man, the pain I feel right now being a broke 25-year-old who loves ZJs almost as much as he loves a red interior.

...granted thanks to my childhood, my personal “holy grail” ZJ is a 1997 5.2 Limited that looks identical to the one on that Chilton’s manual, although I prefer the black interior to the tan.

Also, I…

I’m late enough to this party that this probably won’t be seen, but everyone who knows me knows the one thing that really pisses me off.

I took another whack at it.

I fixed the damn thing in a couple minutes on my phone.

In fairness, Audi and FCA have done well on infotainment for a while, so judging by how nice Uconnect is to use in its present form, I’m hopeful for the dual screens being not shitty to use.

That’s the point. It’s supposed to compete with them.

Alright, I’ll pitch in early here with what is fairly obviously not making production.

Wheels: The ones on it are way more complicated than will be worth producing.

Lit rear badging: Pretty sure it’s not DOT legal.

Passenger’s side screen: despite how much they talked about it, I highly doubt it makes it.

The roof map:…

Supposedly that’s actually going to exist (according to an apparently leaked variant of the ZF 8 speed trans).

The tax deductions can be a biggie. I know of someone who I’ve helped find a vehicle to lease twice now that benefits via tax deductions as it’s used for work and is registered to their LLC. A purchased vehicle wouldn’t receive the same deductions.

We don’t yet know if these specs will carry over when the Compass 4Xe and Renegade 4Xe find their way to the U.S. market

It’s also 6k more expensive than Renegade. A base Bronco Sport is the same price as a loaded Renegade.
