This is why I don’t understand Ford sticking with the V10. It is such a gas hog. The 6.2 must, then, really be a failure if they decided not to improve that engine and/or replace the V10 with it. There’s simply no need for a V10 configuration, however reliable it may be.

14 diesel MPG sounds quite bad for a single cab-standard bed truck that isn’t towing/hauling anything. That number should be in the high teens unladen.

Ya, I love TFLTruck’s tests. Great real-world applications so make purchase decisions on, and helpful for trailering know-how as well.

If I had to guess, he was going much too fast, swerved and skidded at the height of his speed, and hit a curb, causing the flipping motion. Definitely a dramatic crash given that this appears to be a low-speed area.

I wanted to say NP, but then you showed me rust. Still a nice, clean car, but $4-5k is going to be tops for this.

You do realize that Chevrolet is a French name, right?

You are both speaking my language. I had an 87 SE 5-speed (the car I learned stick on) and a 93 SE 5-speed (with its absurdly tall shifter) after that. I’ve driven a couple A32s and one A33, but none of the models after that. Even the A33 felt like it had a history behind it.

I’d take anything R32 on up. They all have their charms. Never had the chance to drive any of them, but R32-R34 would be fun cars for me, whereas the R35 would be my dd supercar.

I think the longer the Ram 3500 is, the better it looks. But those dually fenders on short 3500s look pretty goofy. The styling is very flowing and swoopy, so it becomes very susceptible to proportional problems the shorter the truck is. I prefer GM’s dually fenders because they harken back to the 80s duallys. Ford’…

Some nice entries here, but I can’t believe nobody has posted one of these:

8 out of 10 times, regardless of the performance difference, I really think I’d take the Golf R 4-door. The interior is so much more inviting and German. The Focus is likely a great car (never driven a current model, though I have ridden in a couple), but I just do not like that center console, and if I’m paying $40k…

Ah, OK. I’ve seen these torsional strength videos but did not recall the 30X claim. So if the new SD is “24X” stiffer than the last SD, does that mean GM’s truck is 6X stiffer still?

Ya, “24 times” seems almost absurd. The old model tows and payloads almost as much (according to Ford, and independent testing), so a “24X” improvement only nets generational evolutionary gains? Even if it is truly 24X stiffer, the rest of the components on the truck would have to support that for gains to exceed what…

Easily my favorite TVR. It looks like nothing else. Getting a ride in this car is on my auto bucket list.

I voted NP, and easily for me.

A Honda Civic Si from 10 years ago will “destroy this thing”, but that’s not the point. I wager anyone who’s seriously considering this car knows plenty well it’s not going to be a ‘bahn-stormer performance-wise.

I say the surprise power output isn’t a surprise at all. It’s a modern engine; they could probably dial the thing up to 550tq if they really wanted to, and maybe only need to strengthen a few components. In fact they’ve likely already tested this engine making higher output for when GM potentially responds with their…

Call me crazy, but I vote NP. Not an easy NP, but the Shelby name and experimental engine tech is enough if you ask me. Plus, it’s not like the price is $10k. 5 grand may be a lot for a used version of a car that, in lesser trim and excellent shape couldn’t break into 4 figures, but it’s definitely unique, and it has…

Had a cheapo 4-cylinder auto Journey as a rental about 6-7 years ago, before the massive interior upgrade. That instrument cluster was laughable, like they were trying to make an 80s retro statement or something. It just looks like you could slap it off the dash without much effort.

The car is probably NP for the platform and body alone. It’s a German pillarless coupe for Christ’s sake, and it’s in awesome shape. The fact that the V12 works AND it has a 6-speed makes it pretty tempting, but in reality, you buy this thing for everything but the engine. Find another mill to put into it and boom,…
