Well said, I can respect that. Cars are just evolving into different beings, and direct comparisons to their respective versions of yore may not be totally fair or appropriate any longer. Whereas in 2005 it may have taken a CTS-V to have fun with a Caddy, now the ATS is supposed to be plenty fun/playful (though for…

That’s a valid point, and I won’t discount it. But the focus has shifted more towards the cars that aren’t those base vehicles, and is a base 328i a really sporty feeling car? I’ve never driven one so I cannot answer that. But it certainly isn’t as sporty looking or sized as it used to be...

I suppose you’re right in a way. What I’m trying to get at is that BMW was once a brand that had a RWD-only mentality. Yes, it was back when efficiency wasn’t as much of a selling point as it is today, and FWD was used much less regularly, but they were once a company that had a full lineup of RWD cars that had a high…

Correct you are! But that won’t stop me from being the sads as more and more moderately-affordable cars become FWD

I get that, but with the prices of their cars increasing so drastically — the age of a $70k 3-series (non-M) isn’t far out — I still really want to see low-end platforms that are capable of being built on down the road. And with the 3 series now being the size of an older 5-series, the 1/2 are going to need to take…

Nope nope nope. If it ends up as FWD it’s another testament to how BMW has largely lost its way [For “there’s still hope,” see: M2]. This concept reminds me of the A3 (as I’m sure BMW wants it to)...same size features as a bigger car but stuck on a smaller body. “Frumpy” seems to describe it nicely...

Was there not supposed to be an SRT Dart w/AWD and 300+ turbo hp?

The right-side amber DRL on my Avalanche burned out a few years ago. As in, not the bulb, but the whole assembly charred the hell out of itself. Never did replace it...truck is no longer mine

I’m late to the party, but you literally have to take the entire grille off a GMT900 Silverado (and presumably all its bretheren) to do a simple headlight replacement. You know, something that should take no more than 5 minutes (tops), requires removing the full grille and some of the fender liner (for those with big…

Exactly why I posted it. I still haven’t gathered the er, testicular fortitude, to buy my first bike...but these concepts would have my money in a heartbeat.

And let’s not forget:

You’re all wrong. This still has my heart...

Yep, I’ll take this one. All the others you can keep

Catch can is on my list. Currently doing the “will I have it to 100k miles” debate...will hit 30k tomorrow, car is only a year and 4 months old...

And that you can get non-AWD gas mileage when you don’t want the AWD...

Really too bad. Selectable AWD would be a great option on many cars, the Challenger included. So you’re saying the Charger’s AWD system came on under 45*F and in any non-perfect conditions? That’s too bad

Ah wish I had more info/help but my knowledge is limited to that there’s options out there brighter than the OEM fogs. One project on my list is to install an LED light bar below the lower grille...

Are you doing OEM or aftermarket fogs? Mine came with the fogs but would like to upgrade them...need moar light!

Deliveries started in November of 2014

If I decide to not do the Mopar Stage 1 springs, next winter it’s going to get 17” wheels and the biggest A/T tires I can fit
