Man, this looks goofy.

I want a street performance Maverick ST. Think: modern Syclone and/or Baja turbo. Get the drive train from an Edge ST, juice the engine a bit, the equip it with street suspension & tires. Target a 13.0 quarter mile stock and at least 0.95g on the skidpad. I would also accept the 2.3L from the Focus RS.

Why would you want to know the non-market value of a car?

Also, if you look back at the past three recessions, none of them “started” the minute the second quarter decline happened. Instead, it was a precursor event.

Camaro is dead (again).

This happens a lot. Chip manufacturing is notoriously cyclical. Once a company has an edge in yield, they exploit it by flooding the market with chips.  Which is part of the reason so much of it left the USA over the decades.

Look, okay, sure, there’s a recession right around the corner. But that’s never gonna happen to us, man! We’re invincible!

To me, they need to put some teeth in this.

Manufactures are fucked either way.

If you’re going for performance, then “range” matters.  Not because you need to go 200 miles a day, but because “200 miles” of highway cruising is like 50 miles of spirited driving.

Yeah, but the costs are equivalent because the price gap between diesel and petrol is massive now. It’s over 30% more right now.

The two seater truck market is *tiny*. Even people who use their vehicles as work trucks need to carry around stuff that needs to be secured in the cab.

87 is fine on all versions.  The L3B is not a revvy engine.

It’s just such a foreign concept compared to all the Volvos I’ve owned.

Having only one powertrain is so nice though. GM only have to stock one set of parts,

Actual manufacturing cost difference between the two is going to something like $200, $300 at the outside.

Most manufactures change a lot of parts between different engine outputs — even modest sounding changes. VW in particular will change like 50% of components.

Three different power options.

The advertising for this missed the mark. I picked one up but only found out about it’s existence after it was apparently on the chopping block

I’ve had two MT-82s and each did a lot of test and tune nights. Plus, they get driven hard every day in the spring/summer/autumn. Zero issues.
