    News is reporting that due to CAFE, FCA has already stated that the V8 engine line of Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep will be dead after 2019. 2019 will be the last year you can buy a Hellcat Challenger or Charger. Even the RT Hemi will be dead as they move to 4 & 6 cylinder auto's with turbos pushing out 600+ horsepower. https://myclassicgarage.com/social/posts/115174-dodge-to-drop-hellcat-by-2019-beginning-of-the-end-for-v8s https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/srt-hellcat-hemi-engines-might-not-survive-2019-173010561.html http://motrolix.com/2015/08/dodge-hellcat-hemi-v8-production-to-end-in-2019/ http://www.dodge-motors.com/news/srt-hellcat-and-hemi-engines-might-not-survive-through-2019/ So does that mean GM and Ford will also be looking at phasing out the V8 in auto's other than trucks and special limited production auto's? Wonder if Electric or Hybrid small engine with electric motors are to become the future of performance. Porsche seems to think so.

    Very awesome review to read. Informative and interesting to know more about these new auto's. I can also honestly say that I am underwhelmed by the scion product line and would not be able to recommend it to anyone.

    I've been having issues with Chrome getting very laggy and processor intensive lately. I haven't noticed any performance issues, but my laptop is bad to the bone. I'm going to be super pissed if Edge doesn't conform to HTML standards when I'm doing web design. Supposedly all the documents I have read is that Edge is a true HTML5 only browser. Sadly as I suspected, the forum software is not fully HTML5 compliant just as most web sites are not yet. This is one time where MSFT seems to be clearly ahead of everyone else right now.

    I give the Titan / Tundra their props, the engine at least moves their metal on the road. Other than that, I am not impressed with ether truck.

    Welcome to the Global Market of product. At least the profits come back to America for an American auto company.

    SWEET! I like this as a solid competitor to the Tesla X. I hope Cadillac does not wait to build one as they will need this to compete.

    Howdy all, Decided to upgrade my windows 7 system to windows 10. Did this for my parents also who were on windows 8.1. As their support person this gives me an easier time supporting them when we are all on the same OS version. Issue is with Microsoft Edge browser, great HTML5 non legacy browser. This means it does not use Java or Adobe Flash and is nice and fast. Problem being is trying to post new topics via that browser fails. The link button in the tool bar above does not work. Cut n Paste does not work, trying to post the new topic returns a site is not available and yet everything works fine via chrome and Firefox. So wanted to find out who else has upgraded and what issues you are hitting with Edge on accessing and posting to the forum?

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com​ 1970 or 2010 Dodge Challenger, which would you own​? Found this on the MSN auto section, a great story about the 1970 and 2010 Dodge Challenger Convertible and a guy who got to drive both. Blast to read and brings up a great question, Which one would you own? http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/which-would-you-rather-own-1970-dodge-challenger-or-2010-dodge-challenger/ar-BBlP7qF?ocid=spartandhp

    No more SRTs that aren't Dodges. I understand that, but I was at a loss for words and now that others stated it the following would be cool Renegade Trailhawk Edition with a Turbo 4, AWD about 250HP would do
  10. G. David Felt
    Technology is an amazing field to work in.
  11. G. David Felt
    Interesting that the Renegade could have their own SRT version then using the turbo motor. As much as I do not like the look and especially the quality of the Fiat line, a 500X Abarth version would be awesome. They should make it an AWD with about 250HP.

    Would love to see this car up against the corvette or camero to compare the various stages of HP / Torque at certain speeds such as: 0 to 30 0 to 60 0 to 90 0 to 120 then 30 to 60 30 to 90 30 to 120 then 60 to 90 60 to 120 I think this will show how Torque and HP work to move the auto even faster. Auto mags and web sites need to do comparisons like this to show just how well OHV versus DOHC engines would perform and deliver. I question the added weight issues of DOHC over OHV engines and where it all ends up at. Then take this to the next level with Turbo versions of the OHV versus DOHC to really see what is best. Right now more Marketing Fluff than real facts from the OEM's.

    Very Cool, So happy to see this auto and that Tesla is finally getting some competition. I wonder when GM would consider either a Corvette EV or allow Cadillac to offer a new XLR EV that would deliver this kind of performance.
  14. G. David Felt
    Bolt it Baby!!!
  15. G. David Felt
    I would take an Encore with a more powerful engine for sure.
  16. G. David Felt
    Sadly, FORD needs to get with building a V8 DOHC with some Torque, HP alone does not cut it.

    I believe you mean (effective use of aluminum) CT6, but that's just a quibble. Yes he means that AWESOME Aluminum CT6!

    VTEC, did it ever really amount to anything?
  19. G. David Felt
    You just like to be short or sometime long but to the point!

    People wonder why a good employee leaves, just look to mgmt. Usually chaos that shows why the good ones leave.

    I am excited to read about the Diesel Colorado / Canyon pickup. I am also excited to read more about the BOLT. Excited to see and read about where GM is going with their full size SUV's. Do we finally get a VOLT style Escalade, Yukon and Taho / Suburban version?
  22. G. David Felt
    Only rabid Honda / Acura fans will still like it in another 6 months. My gut tells me this will become a pig with pathetic performance due to the bloated twin turbo V6 and the changes that are needed.
  23. G. David Felt
    Nice looking CUV that I think would sell well here for Buick and gain market share. GM needs to let the UAW build it here and not affect the China market.
  24. G. David Felt
    Nice car, needs a Monochromatic version please, Right now my eyes are burning from all the freakin chrome.
  25. G. David Felt
    That is one ugly Sucker Fish Faced Predator mouthed car that just needs to die. Who the hell approved this garbage? Really Lexus, you now made your line even uglier. Side and rear is geriatrics boring, the front end is just plan awful.
