Depends on where they're cutting costs, and who they're selling the cars to. If I'm selling "appliances," and streamline my componentry, but don't cut so much into component costs that the quality of the componentry significantly affects the overall product quality and reliability, that's...

Kinda hard to blame a guy for going from Dacia to Alfa Romeo. That is funny. Yet, it's a reality that poaching happens in the business world as a matter of course. But, after less than a year does give one pause. Just hope he's not so ready to jump at the next offer.

My BiL just traded his Patriot in on a 19 Cherokee last week. I haven't seen it, as I had to drive to New Hampshire, and my sister was driving it when I stopped in to see him and my 2 year old niece. Really likes it. They traded her Patriot in on a 2 year old Journey when they had the baby. Her...

Not really, unless it was "built," but I'd be interested in what a diesel variant of the new GME T6 "Tornado" would bring to the table. Honestly, though, I think for a Power Wagon, you would need at a minimum 5 liters.

I challenge you to do your own research. Somehow my Google thinks it's German...

...not to mention the concept of something being OBE (overcome by events).

Just got my first Moderna shot yesterday at the Indy VA Medical Center. Just a little sore in the right arm. Maybe I'll get an opportunity this Summer to drive some more of the stuff from the PSA branch. In 2019, I'd driven a rental 2008 - good driver - and a C3 which was definitely a quirky but...

I don't get the hate for the exterior look. I don't know, it's not the perfect exterior design, but I don't get "ugly."Certainly better than most. Suum cuique.

Except if they use that name, it really still has to be a Ramcharger (one word) to avoid having the same name in two brands, even if it is duplication ("Ram Ramcharger"). Treat it as a standalone in marketing (such as "Guts, Glory, Ramcharger!" with "Ram" not stated alone as redundant and...

That makes a few of us. I'm sure one person whose initials are a French car brand is NOT overjoyed RE Alfa staying the course in the US. Said individual will just have to sulk, I guess.

Not to mention, what plan goes unchanged? Basic axiom in the military applies here, I think: no plan goes unchanged upon contact with the enemy. Here, the "enemy" is the business environment.

Well, for one, "Mr. T" is an amateur racer, so I'm decidedly nonplussed that he's a closeted (or perhaps not at all closeted) Alfisti. I've been trying to explain since forever how important AR is to the corporation, being an historic brand, but nevermind that I drive a Dodge Challenger, some...

I don't see the real value in this assessment. The assessment that matters is long-term, and we won't really be able see that until we start seeing the developments that come out of the merger.

RE: Politics Now, I recognize this is basically a "hobby/fan" forum, and not on the same level, but I belong to a professional forum. One of the rules is "No Politics" (the USDoD definition - partisan politics are verboten - "office/general government "politics" are not as long as folks keep to...

Sounds like a miniature diesel Pro Stock pulling tractor, with the benefit of no smoke. OTOH, Adam LZ's GT350 sounds a bit less "diesely," probably because he wasn't loading up the turbo for a hard launch. Once it gets up in the revs, you'd never think it was anything but a gas engine.

I was talking about a specifically built notional GME-T6 with beefed up internals and more FI, all over the basic 'nado, to go into 700 HP land like the Hellcat. Apropos of that, both aircraft have VG wings. Anyway, beats "Aardvark." (F111) 😁

That's pretty sweet!

SHOTS FIRED!!! :cool: Crossovers are just taller cars. Heck, Stelvio is really not super tall compared to say a Grand Cherokee. It's certainly more aerodynamic. It has a better Cd than a 2006 Charger, but I don't know the total drag numbers. It sits higher, so I presume it will be significantly...

I say call the "built GME-6" a Tomcat and give it a pair of turbos. *Cue "Danger Zone."* :cool:

There's the key (within reason).
