    Ther have been a number of times when the EPA or even the NHTSA has said something is ok and then change heir mind in a few years. I never said it would, I said it is possible that a customer will complain and it will be put back under the microscope. Never say never.
  2. Stew
    Wow this is all pretty nuts haha
  3. Stew
    That is great, there is still the previous gen Cruze diesel and that was just an example anyway, you take it way to serious and do everything you can to try and drag out an argument That is a good point and this whole diesel thing is turning into a massive mess.
  4. Stew
    You realize it will only take one complaint and they will be back up GM's rear, right? My point was, as mentioned above, every dishonest tom dick and harry is going to try and get their fair share of the diesel money pie.
  5. Stew
    It is just a matter of time before the GM twin diesels come under the spotlight and from what I hear it is starting to heat up for Nissan's Cummins.

    Good looking car. He dealership I got mine from emailed me the carfaxes of what i was looking at.
  7. Stew
    Did some further research and this is all quite premature. it is only in the investigation stage right now and FCA IS going to meet with the EPA to review and explain their emissions equipment. Always looking at the negative and jumping to conclusions............
  8. Stew
    Why do i get the feeling that by the time this is over there will be no light duty or passenger car diesels left?
  9. Stew
    Yes, agreed. Would be a hell of a lo of fun in the hills here.

    I knew a few people who had these when I was a kid. WIsh I would have been old enough to pick one up when they sold them haha. I would prefer:

    Please read the interview. per the man himself they are no longer seeking ANY merger. His words, not some third party news service that is guessing. Return of the AMC Eagle!!!!! https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9OyEG8wBHSc/maxresdefault.jpg Return of the AMC Eagle!!!!!

    Have you been in a 200? Completely different animal from the dart. IMHO, a lot of the problem was the fact you had those ever popular Jeeps on the same lot and they push the trucks and Jeeps. plus they kind of shot their themselves in the foot by announcing the stop production so quickly. Also, this is a bit different. It takes time to basically rebuild a car company and that is what they have done . They have started with and continue to build their largest profit centers and continue to use them to drag down their debt until they can put money into other things. They have dropped from 5 billion to 3 billion in debt is a very short time and have a plan to be completely out of debt by 2018, which is when the real lion's share of new product intros will begin.

    Hyper V6, ou are incorrect on the FCA/GM merger. In that interview he made it clear they are no longer looking for merger of any kind. Here is a transcript of the complete unedited interview. http://www.allpar.com/news/2017/01/what-sergio-really-said-36076 CCap i have little doubt that if I had time to look i could find plenty of instances of such happening with other manufacturers. Difference is that usually if they are delayed they end up getting cancelled (ie the 98 update of the Thunderbird where there were actual mules running around, including an SV version), but they killed it. The Fox Mustang 87 Update was put on hold when they decided to make the FWD "Mustang" the Probe and instead did a heavy refresh on the Fox Mustang. . I am sure there are TONS more examples. It happens dude, they are fixing it. They are making Billion dollar investments retooling factories. They are going to be bring in 2000 more jobs too. I know that is just awful, right? Quit trying to twist everything into a negative. Also, remember they learned a huge lesson from rushing the Dart to production and it blew up. I would rather see delays and things done righ myself.
  14. Stew
    Very true and trying my best
  15. Stew
    Nope, knew why they were delayed, but you only requested delays and these ARE delays. Should have been done when the JK came out. Oh, can't believe I forgot that a lot of GM products were delayed upt to years after the bailout or killed altogether, IE the ATS convertible.
  16. Stew
    haha, ou have a point. I have hope. The announcement Sunday helped lol. I am looking most forward to the Wrangler pickup. they won't be able to keep those on the lots.
  17. Stew
    LOL, he asked or examples of delayed vehicles and I gave them. now you are just pandering because the results don't suity ou 100% again. Delays are delays.

    Focus RS http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/news/a30138/ford-cancels-2016-focus-rs-prodution/ Raptor http://www.itechpost.com/articles/62281/20161206/2017-ford-f-150-raptor-delivery-delayed-heres-why.htm Superduty http://www.autoblog.com/2016/10/13/ford-super-duty-launch-delay-report/ GM it is more delays of tech, IE Cadillacs Super Cruise was delayed

    Have you ever heard of an old saying? the pot calling the kettle black......... And come on, you have downvoted comments that were not even debating with anyone. it has happened and others just because you don't like them or they disagree with you. very childish (and that is not name calling BTW)
  20. Stew
    These' are the most concrete confirmations we have had, there is no reason to NOT believe them. Everything else was from those old 5 year plans or simply heresay. They are making these investments and starting the retooling processes very soon. And on your first part, there is an Alfa SUV and car already out there that the LX replacements and GC, if approved, would be on. And the definitely coming ram will be the basis for the now confirmed Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. And delays happen in the auto industry all of the damned time.
  21. Stew
    Very interesting and in-depth review. thank you
  22. Stew
    Haven't exactly seen test mules of the Ranger or Bronco running around and they have roughly the same production schedule. Sure you are totally fine with that. As for the Ram, it is only the HDs and is pretty normal they be a year or 2 behind the LD trucks, ie 15 F-150 and 17 Superduty...... Again, you have no idea and I am sure you will vote my comments down since they don't agree with you, you child.
  23. Stew
    A. And the Jeep Truck B. It was confirmed Sunday including the fact it is body on frame and even which factory will build it. Pay attention. C. Using these platforms across many vehicles is perfectly fine. All previous GCs have been unibody and still had amazing off-road prowess so i am not at all seeing our point. Also they are putting their investments first into what is selling and what is popular and then to the less popular and less popular cars. it makes complete sense from a business standpoint and FCA is above all, a business. 500Ls are POSs and should be killed. They also look like they were designed when someone looked at a pile dog crap on the ground and thought hey, that is a nice design. . I am pretty sure that platform is different than what underpins the rest.
  24. Stew
    This is a brand new platform though, no reason to naysay it until it has had a chance. Also, besides the 9 speed, which has nothing to do with the Italian platform, I haven't seen any particular issues with reliability in the Renegade, Cherokee, or even 200. heck, at this point and actually 16 models, the 9 speed issues are no more.
  25. Stew
    Um, the Wrangler is staying on a version of it's BOF platform that will form the basis of the pickup as well. Considering the Wrangler and Wrangler truck are running BOF platforms as will the Wagoneer and grand Wagoneer, not to mention this platform was actually co developed to be used in Alfas and Dodges and you have no point...... as usual. Hell, they can't win for losing. people bitch about old platforms and when they come out with a new one people find stupid and babified $h! to bitch about still. Give it a rest.
