“Following the success of the new Eclipse, we’ll be renaming the Chrysler Pacifica as the Dodge Viper.”

Would anyone really miss Chrysler if they rebranded the Pacifica as a dodge and turned the 300 into the upscale charger it already is? Would anyone actually realize they were gone?

Mopar haters are weird. If you look at the build quality of Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth/Daimler-Chrysler/FCA/whatever their name is this week, it’s actually just fine.

I love Mopars, especially the Turbo variety.

They still made Neon’s in 2005? I thought they stopped making those over 10 years ago.

This will decimate all... especially if combined with FreeValve. If we have to, overnight parts from Sweden.

Nope, but variable valve timing is used to create it.

a Miller Cycle engine reduces an engine’s effective compression ratio by holding the intake valve open longer, letting the piston push some intake gases back into the manifold, and thus expending less work compressing the charge.

The Miller cycle is what happens when I drink a Lite, a Genuine Draft, a High Life, and a Red Dog during a Brewers game.

And why doesn’t the car pull over onto the shoulder if the driver doesn’t retake control?

And you would say that why? My car can do lots of unsafe things if I decide to, and it’s only got around half the horsepower of the Dodge. I guess we can limit all cars to 75mph? But how would we keep them from terrorizing neighborhoods and parking lots? This is just too much to accept today, life is meaningless,…

“The car, according to Blue Ribbon News, was donated to the Genesis Center by a local resident battling cancer:

Dodge wants to sell new cars. They are a factory and make their money only on the initial sale. Customization on the intial ~$90k sale barely makes sense for them.

Elon Musk finds this story amusing.

I think the M3 scenario is a poor example. What is it that the extra $8000 really gets me? Some appearance or high end paint package that I have zero interest in? Some bullshit sunroof or nav package that I won’t ever use? At the end of my lease I don’t have an extra $8k in my pocket, in fact, I have $1600 less in my…

Yup, that’s a lot of TLAs (three-letter-acronyms).

Cool article, but I think the craziest part of the slushbox has been omitted... the valve body.
