It reminds me of the front end on the NS (96-00) vans. Definitely good company to be in IMHO.

Idk, the bro dozer guys will now be able to get theirs wives something they can go “rolling coal” in.

The 2.7 I4 struggles to do any better than the 5.3L and that “old 4.3L” is fairly competitive in the base engine truck segment while having significantly more torque plus it’s not any older than it’s LT siblings (2014MY).

If you keep pulling on it the parking brake engages even if it's in gear.

That was my first thought, some more brands to be bank rolled by Jeep, Ram, and the LH cars which are then left with some of the longest product life cycles in the industry. Well, until the next collapse of fuel inefficient vehicles then they'll be looking for another bailout though now they can go running to the US,…

Yeah, not sure Ghosn is the best name drop as a positive but his style is what investors want. Nickle and dime to maximize shareholder value, which R-N did under him until it completely collapsed underneath them (though he was no longer CEO when they tanked and possibly in jail). Now Nissan is left without a single…

I believe there’s three factories in NA that squeeze out Civics and CR-Vs: Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario.

I’ve had the same conversation with people. When my mom traded her Grand Cherokee in on a Pilot my brother gave her endless shit. What makes an FCA vehicle more ‘Murican than a Honda? Neither is a US based company. The Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, Passport, and MDX are too big to sell elsewhere. They’re basically…

It keeps the brakes applied if you let off the brake pedal until you hit the accelerator. Handy AF when in line at a drive thru.

The “everyone should go test drive and buy a Tesla” people seem to be forgetting something. Not everyone lives even remotely close to a Tesla dealer. Pick a direction for me? I can drive 7 hours east to get to one, I can drive 7 hours north to get to one, or I can drive 9 hours west to get to one. Yeah...not going to…

Agreed. Cheap cars aren’t going to make a come back any time soon. Companies are greedy and the general population is dumb. They’ll just keep increasing loan terms. We’re already at 6-7 year loans they’ll just bump them up to 8-9 year loans so you stay upside down for longer and need another 9 year loan for the next…

So all the hype and keeping it hidden for a big launch and it just ends up being a Pilot with 6" cut off the ass end? Even with the same unloved ZF 9HP and being nearly identical platform mates, it is probably also a generation behind the safety systems in the Civic and CR-V (i.e. no stop and go and generally less…

Thia test is going to be yuge! One of the allertingest tests we’ve ever seen from the stand point of alerts. #crookedhilary

My first thought from the gif on the home page: must be a truck that belonged to a drug smuggler or coyote.

When you redesign a vehicle every 15 years you tend to get the bugs all worked out.

I had a 15 Frontier Pro-4X and really liked that truck. The engine had plenty of power but sitting at stop lights it would shake like crazy and holy shit was the mileage bad. On my daily commute it would average 16.7MPG compared to my current GMC Canyon which hits 22.0MPG on the same commute while being faster and a…

This was my first thought. Not to shit on the deceased or their families but the time and resources needed to fix this issue can save more lives if thrown at just about anything else.

I believe GM High Feature V6 had timing chain stretch issues until around ‘12 when the LFX was released and the LLT got some upgraded components. GM’s 2.4 Ecotec and Nissan’s VQ engines had the same issue over a similar time period. The icing on the cake for GM was that the procedure for changing the prone to stretch…

How is GMC a waste? Development costs for the brand are almost nothing yet it has some of the highest transaction prices in the industry making GMC one of, if not the most profitable brand. Basically a money printer for GM so they’d be dumb to get rid of it.
