In your opinion, is it necessary to disclose everything in the ad? I.e. car was involved in an accident last year. Am I better off leaving that out of the ad and telling the buyer verbally when they come to see the car?

What am I missing here? Does the hellcat have the wrong tires? Bad launch? Poor reaction time? I know the tesla is a quick car, but c'mon. A hellcat cant beat it in a straight line?

I read an article in one of the car mags (forgot which one) about an interview with the CEO of Mazda. He had mentioned an upcoming mazda6speed as well as a mazda2speed. A new 6 is very exciting. A 2? Meh. I'd love to see a new speed3 engine in their current chassis. Also, make it e85 compatible. I'd probably…

The current mazdaspeed 3, does it still have that old 2.3 turbo? I wonder if its anymore reliable now than it was back then.

How does the 2.3 ecoboost engine differ from the mazdaspeed 2.3 turbo engine?

Such a good platform. What if they built the elmiraj concept off of a c7 or slightly modified c7 platform? That would be a hell of a car, something that could compete with the likes of AMG. GM already has the parts, they just need to build it.

I dont understand why they change them. Customers come to know a vehicle name like a brand. A traditional look and feel. Think of a lincoln town car. Big car, comfortable interior, smooth luxurious ride. Now, what do they have today? An MKC? What the heck is an MKC? Everyone knows what a town car is. How…

Exactly it. The current verano with the acoustic glass and triple door seals. Take that quiet luxury ride, change out the dash, new rims and body panels. Keep the 2.0 turbo and the 6 speed manual. A new entry level cadilliac has just been created. MAYBE modify the AWD system from the encore and you have a new…

Not only is the line up confusing. They dont stick to their traditional naming convention that indicates the engine displacement in the model number. Just makes their cars that much more confusing. Once upon a time, I understood their lineup and where their cars felt. Now? Its just confusing and I dont bother…

Nice styling. The interior however was hardly class leading. Regardless, i'd LOVE to see more vehicles based off the corvette. This car had a ton of potential, I was sad to see it go.

Well said. Something tells me this wont be too far off. Maybe something built on the cruze/verano platform. Just a different dashboard.

I was wondering WTF that was on the car. At first, I couldnt figure it out.

They will probably go with front wheel drive and build it on the cruze platform. Think of an ultra luxury verano with the 2.0 turbo. Maybe even AWD using a modified system from the buick encore. At the very least, the car will look good on paper.

Fair enough. Didnt subarus with the manual trans from about 2000 to 2005 have problems? Something with their synchros?

Thanks for that bit of info. The production vehicles you mentioned. Have they proven to be reliable vehicles? Can the engines and trans last 10 years/100k miles without issues?

Will this platform be shared/similar to any of the current ford offerings?

No doubt that turbocharging is not new. The question is, how reliable will a low displacement high horsepower boosted engine last for? 200 horsepower from a 1.6l engine strikes me as a lot of power resulting in a lot of wear and tear on the engine.

My car is so old, it doesnt have ABS, traction control, stability control, TPMS, wifi, twitter, facebook, linkedin updates. Doesnt bother me one bit! I learned how to drive in the snow and know the "old school" methods to drive in snow.

Exactly right. Removing air makes the tire "softer" and it can better grip whats below it.

How about the ford fiesta ST. It has a tiny engine that makes almost 200 horsepower! Something tells me, that engine is working HARD to make that kind of power. Run it for 10 years, my gut feeling is there are going to be some serious wear issues above and beyond whats normal. I hope i'm wrong; I always want to…
