Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

Absolutely not true.

GM sells the #2 most purchased vehicle in the nation which is the full size pickup and a HUGE majority of those have V8 engines. In addition to that they sell Tahoe which is the #1 full size SUV in America....mostly with V8s. They sell Corvettes with cross-plane and without cross-plane V8s. They sold Camaro with V8s until just this year. They sell almost NO electric vehicles, and their CEO stated publicly last year that the road to full
electrification was “not going to be profitable”.

As far as Ram goes… I guess you haven’t noticed that last year they were the ONLY company selling trucks in the U.S. that showed losses year over year? And you haven’t noticed that for the first quarter of this year they showed the largest sales losses of any brand? And what about the Dodge cars that WERE #1 in the segment until they officially announced no more V8s and now dealers are begging to give them away at $20k off sticker? Did you notice that? How did they go from #2 in trucks and winning Truck of the Year in consecutive years to what we see today? And how did the most popular muscle car in the segment immediately fall off a cliff? Well, it's because American buyers care about what's under the hood.

You can try and act like the loss of the V8 engine is not a big deal, but you are simply not correct and the sales numbers are already proving it and will continue to prove it as Ford and GM go back to dominating Ram/Dodge like it’s the 1980s all over again.

AMEN

Don't you know that the "great" European make BMW doesn't include oil dipsticks! And how many transmissions out there from ALL manufactures don't have dipsticks. Your point is pointless.

Out of that, the f’kin dipstick is what got you? My god guy, get a grip. That wasn’t a gripe, it was a point made that I was unaware of until literally this week.

Settle down nancy, your jab at me was utterly useless

What's the break-down of numbers on the GM 1500 sales. How many are 4 cylinders?

You tell me.

When you go to a lot and it’s a 1:20 ratio of 4 to V8, well this isn’t rocket science is it

Would you please STFU, you're like an emotional tampon in here

Says the ballsack that went ballistic over a harmless comment about a missing dipstick. Go drink yourself to death

I’ll make a concerted effort to comment on every, single, post, you make that I in any way shape or form can disagree with. Fk. You.

"Great" and "European" do not go together in the same sentence. And BMW is the worst of the worst. I haven't had a BMW or MINI vehicle in my lifetime that was worth pissing on if it were on fire, and the wife against my advice bought a 2024 last year and surprise surprise, it's already got a recall notice. I wouldn't hire a European company to design a dog house, much less a vehicle.

And transmissions do have dipsticks, even if they are small ones mounted on the case near the pan. But, that's not a good comparison because nobody changes trans fluid every 10k miles, do they?
