This is the danger with regulations. Someone is going to justify shoving a loophole in there. And contrary to popular sentiment, lawmakers aren’t dumb, they design those loopholes to look innocuous while being the size of Montana.

“It’s coming down the pike so fast — all these EV requirements. Everybody is on a learning curve,”

I’d get my dad a 2012 BOSS302 in Grabber blue. He’s an old school Mustang guy and that car feels like the ultimate pre-2015 model to have. The GT500s are just too much power and not enough balance. Though, I’m sure everyone would disagree.

Hopefully Mattel starts watching auction sites and overproducing the models fetching the highest prices.

This is probably the case - their L3B turbo 4 is a massive 2.7L unit making 430lb-ft in some forms. Considering most turbo sixes are in the 2.9-3.3L range, there’s probably not a lot of power to be gained from a much more expensive and heavy I6 setup.

but it’s not going to sell for big bucks. Not when the market is finally cooling off.

Replace Urus with Huracan and Cayenne Turbo with 911 Turbo S and you have the same situation. The 911 Turbo S is a good six figures cheaper, depending upon which options are select, it has performance that bends the laws of physics, and it is comfortable on the street.

I don’t think the execs at Kia/Hyundai really understand the American car market. They keep building copy-cat products and killing them after a single generation because of lack of sales. Six years is not long enough to build a following around a car.

That’s significantly slower than a Kia EV6. In what world is a Lamborghini slower than a Kia?

I bet this is a weird side-effect of supply chain shortages. Manuals have less computery doodads so they inventory level have been less effected.  And people can’t be so picky about what cars are available.

Lake Cumberland is a popular vacation spot for people in the region. Lots of rich people have “summer cabins” in the area.

is a 700hp Dodge that much quicker for making a getaway than a 300hp Camry?

Decades later, car loans are a necessary evil for many Americans.

Let this be a lesson to customers: pay for this feature if you feel like you’ll ever need to use it. Even if the company activated the feature immediately, it apparently takes a pretty long time to come fully online.

It’s a cheap way to fund development, gauge interest, and build hype.

I had a grey 03 back in the mid aughties. It was a pretty great car. Luxurious, good looking, comfortable, and with a tune + downpipe, quite fast for the era. It handled like ass though.

There is a reason you don’t see these models around anymore.

No, this isn’t a crime. They didn’t refuse the person service on the basis of their race (that would be a crime).

Lowering kits for the CR-V are cheap.
