None of them do anymore. The 2.7 is a dog and whereas the LS1 will make the tires howl (if the pumpkin is stout enough).

This right here! Someone lost their mind in exactly the right way here, and for $10k (and if I had space in my garage) I’d give it a look. But one. does. not. buy. someone. else’s. project. for twenty thousand dollars. 

Fantastic build.

Okay, you got me.

Sorry but economies of scale can’t make stuff cost zero dollars... It will be more expensive simply because it will have more stuff in it. 

But, in order to digitally activate a hardware feature, the hardware has to be there in the first place. So Adaptive Suspension, all the sensors that enable autonomous driving, radar/lidar, seat, steering wheel heater/cooler etc. will all be there, just not active. So you won’t really buy a ‘base’ model anymore, just…

It’s going to INCREASE manufacturing costs because they need to install ALL the hardware that might be ordered in the future and you can bet your bottom dollar that will be paid for by the original sucker I mean purchaser.

Then it will just sit idle until some owner buys the subscription and the relevant software is…

The front grill on the 4 Series grows 1 centimetre larger each day unless a $4.99 daily subscription is maintained to prevent the front grill of the 4 series from consuming us all.

FCA is the automotive equivalent of Taco Bell: Both companies have the ability to take the same basic ingredients and make 15 different menu items. Additionally, both companies produce cheap products that sound like great ideas when you’re drunk or a teenager. From my experience, both products will also make you shit…

It’s worth noting that this makes every new BMW more of a throwaway product. How long is the ConnectedDrive app and related subscription service going to be supported so buyers 20 years from now can have a fully-functioning vehicle?

First thing I looked at in the Durango stats:

Ok Dodge. You know you have to do it. It’s the most ridiculous thing you have left.

I love what Dodge does. I just don’t really care for the cars. 

They did that. Juke R.

I might not want a Rogue now, but a Rogue with 700 hp is suddenly compelling.

Did someone say 370z hellcat redeye? 

I want a Juke with a VR38DETT

I wonder what the guys at PSA are thinking when they look at their potential dance partners.

I wonder if Nissan would be doing better if they just put progressively more insane engines into their models from 10 years ago.

I can’t even be mad. Dodge is, and needs to continue milking this shit.
