Apparently it’s to prevent soot buildup on the shiny tips. DI engines create a lot of soot, and lots of vehicles that have them have chrome or silver tips - both real and fake - that are now permanently blackened.

The mk4 -> mk5 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The difference between 197 inches and 185 is huge. They aren’t roughly the same size - they are in different classes.

What a weird take. I mean, 1455 ish lbs is a really good number for an off-road trim. It’s more than a Raptor, it’s more than a TRX, it’s not that far off from a power wagon (non-tradesman)

I don’t get this romantic idealism about a tiny truck in single cab form. The international market is the reason why we have 4-door mid-size trucks to begin with, because they figured out that they can be so much more than a bed with two seats. These are places in the World where they have limited budget & space to…

I can’t fucking believe the $50k MSRP

What is the lowest credit score and gross monthly income for which Mitsubishi will guarantee financing? How much negative equity can I roll into the loan?  What is the resulting monthly payment when financed for 84 months?

Welcome to Subaru’s business model.

They are optimistic that the free money will keep flowing.

They practiced on the Explorer, Aviator, and F-150 to make sure the rollout was just right. 

Ford has to stop horsing around and buck this trend of product launch issues. Having brand new flagship products saddled with these kind of issues behooves them to increase their quality control until a stable manufacturing process is established.
