So, Peugeot has some great compact cars? What are the odds that they may get American versions? Which would give SRT a great platform for an SRT4 replacement?

The Dart simply had to go. There was no way around it. It was taking up factory production space, and selling for half the profits. So, Chrysler put something in its factory that sold more vehicles, for more money, at higher margins. Sad to see sedans go, but sedans are niche now. Charger...

From the perspective of a motorsports enthusiast, the Renault FCA merger was pretty darn awesome. Ralph complained that they just didn’t h e the platform, nor the engine, for a suitable SRT4 successor. “The Sergio” also said they didn’t have the ability to make a profitable sedan/coupe/hatch...

Agreed, they tried doing the chic Italian upscale sort of thing, and so far, it hasn’t worked. Merge them into CJDR dealerships, educate the sales and repair folks, and diversify the models. If there was a Fiat 124 Abarth Super Veloce, I’d be into that hard.

An eight second car might be in the works, but it won’t be street legal. I have no visibility for it if it is happening. This info goes counter to what I know/have heard.

My understanding is that these two will be the current generation. I heard that they were giving a proper going away present for this gen. From what I have heard they are very fast, not the fastest of all “time”, but very very competitive. Purely wishful thinking: I am personally hoping...

Disclaimer: I haven’t heard anything in a dogs age, though. I know the vehicles are out there, but everyone I know is t saying anything.

There are two very focused Challengers coming, no idea when, but I have been assured they are coming. I was assured that this version of the Challenger will be given a truly proper send off. They will at least be as focused toward their purpose as the Demon was toward its purpose. I...

From the pics I have been seeing it looks like Ford is building something that will be like an Isuzu Amigo. Like a Renegade fighter with a pop top and doors.

ROTF! That IS the big bad Bronco everyone has been fearing? I knew Ford would **** it up. That’s a pretend Bronco. It’s got street tires on it. There has to be some sort of optional package that makes it more off-road worthy. Looks to be more of a Renegade fighter than a Wrangler fighter...

My above statement was not relative to that picture. Monsters lurk! (Also an independent statement.)

I will not speculate on the specific reliability or unreliability of the Giulia. However, a LOT of the unreliability via the car magazines was not true. A LOT of ad money was bought by a LOT of Alfa’s competition. It is rumored that this ad money was spent with the understanding that the...

The “Hemi” lives on!

GME-T6 Global Medium Engine Turbo In-line Six 3.0L One version will be 350ish hp/ft-lbs There is likely to be at least one more version. A very healthy version. I expect it to outpower the 5.7 by a fair margin.

No POWER STEERING. Try parking a car with 305’s! Power steering can be made to function really well. The ACR is a prime example.
