Think you mean 3.8L...ie, a minivan engine with a moderately more aggressive cam. Overdrive? hahaha maybe downhill w/the wind to your back!

If you keep predicting recession, yeah, eventually you will be right. Inverted yield curve is an indicator BUT not an end-all in and of itself. But a day doesn’t pass that a writer here ‘predicts’ the economy will eventually slow negatively effecting the industry...wow, how prophetic (“The price of stamps will climb…

“everyone thinks you’re an asshole”...

Oh you’re that guy huh? Well whatever makes you feel better about your situation...

In terms of general business execution like sales, marketing, legal compliance, dealer network, etc. I agree bigger is not always better.

Elon may be a brilliant engineer (respect, my fellow nerd) but the ‘I’ll do it myself’ attitude may be a big reason why he can’t run a car company profitably.

While it sounds decent at higher RPM, can’t say I’m a fan of the exhaust note...maybe the audio didn’t capture it fairly, or I’m biased, but it sounds like a wet fart IMHO.

Had a G8 GXP (M6) myself and will say that if you liked that then you may well like the Chally. They’re big, comfortable cruisers, and handle waaaayy better than something of their size really should...kind of old-school but that’s the appeal!

It’s raining men...well, parts of one anyway.

RIP Chief - loved my 2005 GTO and my 2009 G8 GXP. Ok so they were Holdens but great cars nonetheless.

Repairs require test drives. It’s not like he dropped a thousand lbs of stone in the bed and scratched it up, nor was he abusing the vehicle, just operating it normally (tailgating aside, that’s certainly not ideal).

‘bupkis’ = $23 Billion? 23 and then 9 zero’s? That’s FCA’s current cap...it’s value was on par w/Ford’s as recently as last summer (FCA stock was quite a bit higher at the time due to poss Chinese buyout).

If it were an electric veh it wouldn’t have a remote start button (excluding PHEV of course)

My Holdens:

Shape is very Ferrar-ish...of course a mid-engined RWD layout will limit what one can do w/styling.
