The car in the pics is the Spark, not the Sonic/Aveo.
I had a feeling that car waaaay in the back of that "5 in '15" teaser image was the Spark rather than the Sonic, as it resembled the Chinese-spec 2016 Spark that was spotted last month.
He's a Gawker IT guy who frequents the sub-blogs - he was on Oppo earlier today.
I just spoke with Ernie - turns out that having an ad-blocker on hides the links on the side, when they should normally be visible without the ad-blocker.
Yeah, the last time I got anything on the FP in any capacity was when I posted about the leaked SAE paper on the 2015 Corvette's 8L90 automatic. I've had Oppo posts FP'd a few times before that, but those were a while back.
While it is true that CUVs dominate the market, I'm kind of surprised that the 3-row Transit Connect hasn't sold all that well - a red current-gen one that I spotted earlier this week is the only family-oriented TC that I've seen ever since the previous-gen TC was brought to the States.
LOL. I don't suppose you caught this when it was posted to Oppo last night?
Those links have annoyed me to no end for a while now, since I sometimes inadvertently click around that space. I guess they're on the fence about whether having them visible will attract a decent bit of traffic, so they keep the links there for their own convenience if they decide that having visible links there…
So we started brainstorming a car that wouldn't offend anyone. A car that nobody would care if we crushed. A car that everyone hates.
In a similar vein to the GLA45 AMG, I'd pick the R63 AMG; it's a minivan with a 6.2L V8 that has 507 HP and that gets the R63 from 0-60 MPH in 4.6 seconds, per Car and Driver.
The Civic Si here in the States has a standard LSD, so I don't think they'd cheap out on a model that needs one even more.
How about the setup in the Ferrari FF?
The only trick will be to convince the bean counters that the SS is worth the extra development cost, and between the car's limited appeal and supply, that may be a tough sell.
That's true, but I still liked that grille on the Rams.
