  1. G. David Felt - Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.cheersandgears.com Jeep Wrangler on Steroids - Rhino XT Hellcat! The company, US Specialty Vehicles which has built many a trick auto for movies as well as building special lines to sell to the public just outdid FCA. In 2015 this company showed off this Rhino XT version which is available for sale with the V6 powertrain on their web site. For the latest Fast and Furious movie, they went out of this world crazy and built this unit with the Hellcat engine. Now the company has informed the public that they too can order up the Rhino XT Hellcat edition and have what has been seen on the silver screen. Yet if a 707 HP wrangler is too much for you and the base V6 is not enough you can always opt for their Supercharger Package on the V6. This takes you from the basic 285 HP by adding roughly 1/3 more power to motivate those 35" tires. The V6 edition starts at $80,735. They also have the Sport edition and the premium edition packages.
  2. Was a weird little CUV. It will sell on price alone I bet and then fad into history. Plus I bet they need to keep production going till they get the others up to speed. Makes sense as they grow their CUV fleet of Auto's. I wonder if VW will use the assembly line to then build their EV's once they have them ready for production. Then just shift the Tiguan Limited production to make EV production.
  3. Appears to mimic the Bolt in being s FWD EV powered partial skateboard platform. Interesting that the battery is so much smaller in comparison to the BOLT or Leaf.
  4. Hello McFly, did you forget to use the pass through on the rear seat and have it stick straight out the back? @ccap41 Dude I thought you lived in the 21st century suburbs not in the rednecks of the 19th suburbs? JK, but that is freaking funny and WTF post of the day!
  5. Very Cool Yes my son does not like the external style or internal layout of the Dodge Durango. My daughter has one and loves it. My son has narrowed his choices to Jeep GC or Ford Explorer Sport edition. For the GC he is vacillating if he wants to do diesel or stay hemi. Back on topic, Cruze Diesel rocks!
  6. I love to test drive auto's all kinds and yes I will roll myself up into sub compacts and compacts to see what they are like. True, at my size, most auto's are always going to be north of 50K and closer to 100K. Will say that I was impressed with the Ford Explorer Sport that we did a family test drive on as my son is considering it as a replacement for his Jeep Patriot. We also test drove the Explorer XLT, not impressed with that. Would be hard pressed to recommend it as the dash interface is terrible compared to the much better dash interface you get with the sport version. Yes another 50K SUV.
  7. Plenty of ICE auto's that I am impressed with. V series from Cadillac. M series from BMW, AMG series from MB, REAL skylines when I was in college in Japan. Corvettes, plenty of ICE auto's over the last 40 years. Toyota & Honda have nothing that is inspiring, roomy or desirable to me. I was carpooling with my coworker last night home in his new TRD Tacoma. He loves it but compared to the GM twins, you have a ok comfy seat in a sea of hard plastics and some soft touch plastics, but much to really go wow about. Course, this was just my thinking. as he loves his truck. To each their own. Have you gone out yet and actually driven a Bolt yet to give a real assessment of the auto?
  8. I would have to disagree with you as they are numb non-inspirational tin cans. Yes I have driven one and still not impressed.
  9. Weird Wednesday and it all started with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE music on I heart Radio. Then onto System of a Down Chop Suey
  10. @William Maley Thank you, appreciate that insight.
  11. So you build a list of requirements, why use a platform that does not support your needs? Never did understand that one.
  12. I hope so, otherwise your screwed. Pretty much I thnk auto companies plan for this.
  13. Japan Pizza is crazy with seafood, mayo and so many other things. Just like out of this world sex, ya gotta try it before you knock it. 10 Crazy Pies to try from Japan. First is their Scallop Butter Soy Sauce Pizza. This pie has soy sauce marinated scallops, clams, shrimp sitting on a bed of mayo and cheese. Another Pie that I loved in Japan. Hotdog & Corn Pizza Corn and Potato Pizza Latest Craze is the Mini Hotdog Pizza See more crazy Japan Pies here.
  14. You have not had an awesome pizza till you have had Pepperoni and Pineapple. The pineapple cuts the grease of the Pepperoni and the Pepperoni cuts the acid of the Pineapple. Talk about a harmony. Very much like enjoying the beauty and essence of a Hawaiian woman! @oldshurst442 I totally agree, he has got to be very boring as Pizza is safe sex for the mouth! Pepperoni and Olives Pepperoni and Pineapple Pineapple and ham Pineapple and Bacon The list of yummy partners is endless! One that I got from going to college in Japan, Octopus on pizza or Corn and Potato. Do not knock it till you try it. Rock on Pizza and the endless toppings!
  15. Finally, the A-class has similarity to the S-class but at least is does not look like the S-class. About time MB started to differentiate the various models.
  16. Does Pineapple Belong on Pizza? So the latest battle has Gordon Ramsey saying NO and Alton Brown Saying YES. So what do you think belongs on Pizza?
  17. Maybe the Midwest and parts of East coast might not want AWD as long as they haev snow tires, but on the NW corner with all our mountains and steep hills, AWD with Snow Tires is a rockin combination for ultimate traction especially in heavy spring snow that is very wet and turns into slick compact snow / ice.
  18. Interesting, very subjective. Glad for Lincoln
  19. Why not just use the V6TT and call is the SS, no need for the Impala label. We just have a global Chevy SS auto. 400HP
  20. Really, that is an interesting thought. I looked into them at one time in the early days of my marriage due to the wife liking the looks and due to how small and tight they are and tiny feeling, we passed. I ended up going SUV full size with GM and never looked back after 1993.
  21. I would expect in these days of SUV/CUV craz that the LaCrosse is on the near future chopping block.
  22. I expect to meet the needs of China to have have one CUV EV and one sedan EV plus a volt type.
  23. Nice, but it looks like all they did was change out the front badge from Opel to Buick.
  24. 1994 Chevy Impala SS. Loved this car, was not in a place to buy one and I wish the suspension was a bit tighter. But the auto was awesome in a straight line, had plenty of interior room for us big guys and over all a family is very comfy in these babies!
  25. @FAPTurbo This is for you! Cracks me up what people think up! LOL, Here is a perfect GIF for that special someone!
