This is true, not sure I'd want to take the depreciation hit on the Merc, Toyotas certainly hold their resale.

I’d wager the top spec off-road grand cherokee (which can be had w/ various v8s) can hold its own to the g-wagon and land bruiser.

Interesting but wow, that price is pretty much cost prohibitive IMO. I have a burny torch already and what’s life without a bunch of flaming danger?

I got kinja’d on the hyoer links I tried to insert above, sorry the above is garbled.

Now playing

The Fab Rats team has been interesting to watch. Not always a vehicle build but mostly. Production quality isn’t super high but they’re still learning. I came across them when watching Matt’s Off Road Recovery. Here’s a video about the trans rebuild for their new Corvair off-road rig.

Open source, nice. Hopefully a auto maker picks this guy up so he can do some good and extend the life of ICE. 

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo....

It’s very strange to me that the marketing material from the manufacturer shows images of window tint, when I don’t believe you can order a German sedan with integrated tint....has this changed and I’m unaware (probably)?

In my experience leading teams, this sort of issue is related to a deep down culture within a work environment....VPs can and will say all kinds of shit but this is a top down problem. Yes, the employees shouldn't be coming into work but there's more going on here than just covid.

Such a fantastic body style.

Genius!

That’s the same location for fuel filler cap as the two-door version, no sense changing everything.

I always though Pagani’s key for the Huayra was kinda cool albeit a bit cheeky.

I was really hoping this would be a good solution.

Z8 for sure! The whole package is just so well executed and rare enough for me.

Nice reference to old TG, that's the only model I can ever remember....the MP4-12C.

I’d like to see parity in range, to equivalent ICE vehicles. I’d imagine there’s a shred of logic in how engineers (and customers) ended up with the range we have for most vehicles. Why would I want an EV that doesn’t go as far as my current fleet of non-EVs, especially when time spent at a charging station will take

It seems logical. I'd still like to see the trim applied to their minivan, I think it's call the Pacifica.

@Jose you and I have very different definitions for car...FIFY

Spreading a lean team across massive corporation will effectively put an end to the wild stuff we're seeing now and the industry wide shift to EV will likely make it difficult for those ICE engineers to shine.  Certainly some will continue to push for crazy engines, let's hope I'm wrong.
