as an owner of a 2018 wrx... yeah, the stock exhaust is comically quiet.

Haha, yeah, I watched it.

I hate this type of content as well. But the curious side of me still wants to experience it to try and figure out the allure and try and predict the trends. Which is also part of my day to day to job.

For example, I can’t stand Mr Beast or his content. But he’s a billionaire for a reason,…

You actually watched that engagement-bait trash? The subject doesn’t matter and I think Elon should fuck off to the slave emerald mine in the sky but transparent shit like this is all yt is now. There’s no creativity or originality, it’s cynical “wut will piss peolpld off andd git me the most vews”

Eh. So they cancelled a bunch of models in 2023 and some of the sales carried over to 2024. This feels like a natural consequence of all the “Stellantis dealer inventory is 2x national average” articles we were reading over the summer.

Hard to believe these things are 11 years old.

the engines are prone to going boom and any service is engine out. also the hybrid batteries are on borrowed time. there is a reason they are so cheap. 

Norway has $1.75 Trillion in their sovereign wealth fund from their oil revenue - they’ve planned for the future.

Good job Norway. Sticking it to the myth that EVs and cold weather aren’t compatible. I only personally have one friend who lives in Norway, and they do drive an EV!

I agree with you....I’m currently driving a Grand Cherokee L just the Laredo but I honestly love it. I have more than enough head and leg room and I’m 6'4". Has seating for 6, all the safety gizmos, peppy engine, decent radio, heated seats and steering wheel, sunroof and 4x4 and it also has a fairly low price because…

NO MORE SLIDESHOWS?!?!?

Pretty much any Jeep product that isn’t Wrangler-based. If you’re not driving a Jeep for the iconic look or decent offroad prowess, their whole SUV+CUV lineup is gussied-up, questionably reliable FCA products with steer-and-pray chassis tuning at eyewatering prices.

It was mainly consumers. The automakers saw the steady decline in sales of sedans/coupes, and the rise in sales of CUV/SUV’s 

Friend, that is a bomb

They need a version with the V6 for a value-leader package to at least get sales going.

It doesn’t hurt that “small” cars aren’t that small anymore.

There’s plenty of speed bumps, curbs, and gutters within a mile of my house that would damage a car that low to the ground. Add in the pot holes from snow plows on the asphalt, and the big rig caused pot holes on the syncrete and the chances for damage increase exponentially.

“oh this looks cool and I can get a deal.”

I saw or read somewhere a good observation about this switch to electric, the gist was that the vast, vast majority of the previous gen Challenger/Charger sales were the base, or next step up trims with the 3.6 V6. Most of the buyers for these cars were people who thought, “oh this looks cool and I can get a deal.”…

The ZR1 is for anyone with the money to buy it. 

My first drive in a CVT was in a Mini, and I hated it. Surprisingly my second was in a Jeep Compass and it was much better. I’ve been driving a C-Max hybrid for the past 5 years (it was totaled the day after Thanskgiving - not my fault) and like the CVT in it. It always chose the right thing to do, and was a zippy,…
