    After Swindon, Oxford and Sunderland are gone, they are not coming back. The whole logistics of auto parts manufacturing in the UK will collapse. Other manufacturers will be forced to follow them out the door.

    These are basically what I've been waiting for in the PHEV market... all-wheel drive and not super expensive like the XC90/XC60. I do wish the bigger Cherokee was on the list though... maybe soon.

    The EQV at least is geared more towards VIP transportation rather than plumbers. Though City based plumbers aren't going to be traveling 249+ miles in a day usually.

    Seeing as this is a political topic regarding the car industry, there needs to be at least some political talk in this topic.. however, I ask that we keep it on Brexit and the auto industry and not wander into other political territories.

    I think you'd miss the power you currently have, or would have in a LaX.

    None of which will matter when all the multi-nationals pull out and take the jobs with them. The banks are pulling up anchor and heading to Paris, or Brussels, or Berlin as well. One of the UK's biggest exports was financial services. That'll will go the way of their auto industry soon enough.

    Not much of one. Only the Pacifica, Sienna, and Sedona survive.

    STS or SRX?

    I do it for my Toronado all the time because parts are hard to source. I did it for the Honda on occasion and I would just say "I bought this and tried to put it in, but can't get to it... can you do it?" It helps that I have a regular mechanic who I've spent many kilo-dollars with over the years.

    Sometimes there is a delay, but glad that it worked for you. If there is a delay, just give it a couple seconds and it will embed. Albert will be happy, he really likes that series. I don't follow it myself.

    The delayed launch of the Volkswagen Arteon may be nearing its end. MotorTrend is reporting that the Chairman of Volkswagen has said that the Arteon will hit U.S. shores this year. The original cause of the delay was a backlog of certifying vehicles under the World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). The Arteon in the U.S. will use a 268 hp 2.0 liter Turbo from Audi that had yet to be certified. VW sells the Arteon in Europe using a different engine. The Arteon debuted at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show and is priced above the Passat in the Volkswagen lineup. Related: View full article

    A few weeks after Honda announced the closure of its manufacturing plant in Swindon, Sky News is reporting that BMW and Nissan are both looking at moving operations out of the UK in the event of a no-deal Brexit. BMW currently produces the Mini-Cooper in Oxford. BMW's Peter Schwarzenbauer has said that the company would "need to consider" moving production out of the UK. In addition to Mini production, some engine production would move to Austria from Birmingham. Likewise Nissan, which produces the Qashqai and Leaf in Sunderland would cut back production and potential plant reductions of about 400 jobs. Nissan has already announced that due to Brexit uncertainty, the manufacturer would not be producing the Nissan X-Trail in Sunderland. Sunderland is the largest automotive manufacturing plant in the UK. View full article

    Just straight into the text box where you type. You only use the "add a link" button if you want it to show like this. 1. Paste link into text box 2. Wait 3 seconds 4. Profit! Feel free to practice it with a youtube link or two here and I can wack them after you're done.

    Dare I say it, but except for the UFO on the roof, that actually looks really good. Nicer interior than a Range Rover too.

    Mitsubishi has unveiled its oddly named Engelberg Tourer Concept. Named for a Swiss ski resort known for its rugged terrain, the Engelberg Tourer is an agressive and sporty looking crossover that could preview the look of the next generation Mitsubishi Outlander. (Because the first thing you think of when you hear about a Swiss ski resort is a Japanese SUV - DD) The Engelberg is yet another PHEV Crossover, in this case using an improved version of the twin-motor PHEV system used in the Outlander PHEV. The engine is a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder designed specifically for hybrid use. The system works in a series hybrid mode where the engine acts as a generator to power the front and rear electric motors and is able to propel the SUV just over 40 miles in EV mode on the European test cycle. With a full battery and fuel tank, the Engelberg can cruise over 430 miles, again on the European test cycle. Inside, Mitsubishi has fitted the Engelberg with a minimalist yet luxury looking white and black interior. The navigation system can take into account the destination, weather, temperature, road conditions, and traffic to modify the drive mode and torque split to optimize battery and fuel usage. Mitsubishi will also be selling a home battery and charging system that allows the Engelberg to dynamically charge or discharge power from the user's home.
