  1. I've been pretty happy with Edge still. I need to import my bookmarks still.
  2. I think that's up to a higher power.....
  3. I use them regularly. Uber lets you schedule a pickup ahead of time. I recommend this for early morning flights and its what I do. As long as I schedule on the app in advance, I've not had any trouble getting a pickup at 4 in the morning. Uber is generally better than lift for this, but other than early morning pickups, I use them both interchangeably depending on prices.
  4. 185 hp at 4,200rpm - 280-lbs.ft. at 2,400rpm, an upgrade over the 140hp and about 255 lb-ft of the 307. They stopped making the Riviera T-Type a few years before they started making GNXes.
  5. heh, I think that's a commonly held opinion of that car. Here's one... Platform gripes aside, I think the Lincoln Continental is a very handsome and capable car. I would absolutely own one over an E-Class or 5-series without regret.
  6. The merger between FCA and Renault has crossed another hurdle overnight with FCA agreeing to a compromise with the French government. The issue surrounded the French government's desire for a guaranteed seat on the company's board of directors and effective veto power on CEO appointments. In a compromise, Renault would give up one of its own board seats for one occupied by a representative of the French government. The makeup of the board would then be 4 seats allocated to FCA appointees, three to Renault appointees, and one to the French government. France is Renault's largest shareholder with a 15% stake in the company. Additionally, Renault would give up one of its two seats on the 4 member CEO selection committee to the French government. The new proposal goes to Renault's board for consideration. View full article

  8. The Lexuses are good vehicles, but not worthy of the praise lumped on them as "best evar!!!".... plus they have no soul.
  9. unpopular opinion about a popular car...... I never really got the love for these either. Even in Olds form, the G-Bodies don't do much for me. The interiors are sh!t. Give me that same powertrain in a Riviera or even an Electra coupe and you might have something for me.

The second generation Range Rover Evoque offers a new 48-volt 296hp mild-hybrid (MHEV) powertrain alongside a 246hp Ingenium four-cylinder gasoline engine. For 20MY, the Range Rover Evoque also offers groundbreaking off-road technologies like the optional segment first ‘ClearSight Ground View’ technology, part of the optional 360 Surround Camera system, and optional ‘ClearSight Rear View Mirror’3,4.

Jaguar For the month of May, Jaguar sales were 2,021 units, a 15 percent decrease from 2,366 units in May 2018. The Jaguar E-PACE achieved its best May sales month ever with 378 vehicles sold. The Jaguar I-PACE was awarded the 2019 World Car of the Year award, and in an unprecedented achievement, the I-PACE also won the World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car titles. For May, the Jaguar F-PACE continued to lead the brand’s performance with 903 units sold. Year-over-year, sales of Jaguar SUV models totaled 9,746 units, growing 35 percent from 2018.

In addition to the ‘PACE’ family of SUVs and crossovers, the Jaguar brand includes the F-TYPE sports car, the XE compact sport sedan, XF premium mid-size sedan, XF Sportbrake mid-size wagon and the brand’s luxury flagship – the full-size Jaguar XJ.

The company will introduce a portfolio of electrified products across its model range in the coming years; embracing fully electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and mild hybrid (MHEV) vehicles as well as continuing to offer ultra-clean gasoline and diesel engines.
  11. Volvo Cars posted strong sales in May, with volumes up 12.4 per cent compared with the same period last year. The company sold 60,196 cars during the month, as China, Europe and the US all reported a growth in sales compared with the same period last year. The double digit volume growth in May was led by the continued strong demand for Volvo’s award-winning SUV range led by the XC60, and followed by the XC40 and XC90. Volvo’s latest models, the V60 estate and the US-built S60 sedan, also contributed to the strong performance. In the January to May period, Volvo sold a total of 278,051 cars – up 9.6 per cent, compared with the same period last year. China reported a strong sales growth of 17.4 per cent in May compared with the same period last year. Total sales in the region reached 12,425 cars during the month. The growth came on the back of high demand for the locally assembled XC60 and S90 models. European sales in May grew 16.9 per cent to 29,681 cars, led by strong demand for the XC60, followed by the XC40 and the V60 estate. US sales reached 9,761 cars in May, up 4.5 per cent compared with the same period last year. XC90 was the best selling car in the region followed by the XC60. A detailed break-up of regional sales is given below: May January-May 2018 2019 Change 2018 2019 Change Europe 25,395 29,681 16.9% 131,267 144,164 9.8% China 10,582 12,425 17.4% 49,792 54,503 9.5% US 9,338 9,761 4.5% 37,754 40,186 6.4% Other 8,224 8,329 1.3% 34,768 39,198 12.7% Total 53,539 60,196 12.4% 253,581 278,051 9.6% In May, the XC60 was the top selling model with sales reaching 17,510 cars (2018: 16,171), followed by the XC40, with total sales at 10,574 cars (2018: 5,413 units), and the Volvo XC90 at 8,621 cars (2018: 7,979 units).
  12. Last week we had "Unpopular Opinion about an Unpopular Car". This week we're doing Unpopular Opinion about a Popular Car. What good selling car or one that gets lots of praise in the motoring press do you have a contrary opinion about? One entry for me is the Alfa Romeo Giulia. While they handle well, I find their styling, both interior and exterior to be completely underwhelming. They lack the refinement of most of their competition. The reliability is ...erm.... traditional Italian brand reliability. I've just never seen what the rest of the motoring press is going on about with how "great" these cars are. Apparently shoppers agree with me as the Alfa brand is down 34% month over month with just 797 Giulias sold in May.
  13. I think that was his point.
  14. All of this right here. They undercut everyone else in the market to drive them out of business, then they take over the sector. They've largely already done that with solar panels. China plays a very long game... not just quarter to quarter like us "silly capitalists".
  15. More red at Benz than at FCA.
  16. If someone said you had to do / better not do something because their imaginary friend in the sky said so, you wouldn't listen to them either. If they wandered around saying the sky was purple, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, you wouldn't listen to them either. people can have their own opinions, but facts are facts. And when someone can't see facts because of their religion or political affiliation... then yes, you wouldn't listen to them either. I wish I could re-open the politics section on this site... but I would require factual conversation, and too many people here can't handle it. It would mostly be me and @Robert Hall looking at each other going "yep."...... "yep". No one said the left is filled with saints. But the cuckoo left is a lot less dangerous than the cuckoo right. Oh no! They might try to get you to try a vegan burger! ??
  17. Sorry it's a little late guys, had a busy day at work.
