    ^^ This. As long as there are still base models for people to buy, a $60k version is fine also. Nothing wrong with selection. Still, they may need to put some cash on the hood to get the lower models to move.

    That motor is "just enough" for the Ascent, so it should be plenty spiffy for the Outback.

    It's not a matter of easy or not. It just doesn't seem to be something GM is interested in. They could have done it years ago if they felt it was needed to get the results they wanted. I assume this new engine will have their new Dynamic Fuel Management system too. But this leads to another question... with that power output, why not just go with the Cadillac Blackwing V8? It certainly has the pedigree, and it's not like they'll need it for CT6 production much longer.

    They've stayed mostly the same or grown. I'd be interested in an Outback if I was allowed to get a wagon.

    This is one of the finest products to come out of FCA in years. They really should have made plans from the start to make additional vehicles off this platform.

    Thank you @bobo. Happy New Year to you too!

    Why 6.8 liter specifically? You've been talking about concentric cams for years now with the General not going that route. Why do you think they'll go that way now?

    That's big enough you could have put a whole double DIN full NAV system in there.

    I thought the Saudi Prince thing never happened. They have an interesting enough concept. I like the idea of some competition among the EV startups. Rivian seems to have the best shot at survival outside of Tesla. This issue being solves for Faraday might let them survive also.

    Do they even have a production line somewhere yet?

    Just the Wrangler I think. The Compass, Cherokee, and Renegade still seem reasonably priced. The Cherokee is probably the last compact crossover with a V6 aside from the Journey..... I can't think of any others, can you?

    ^^ I actually like the G70 the best of those 4. For a new vehicle though, the infotainment system is oddly out of date.

    Some of the mix will swing to Gladiators in a few months time and then the Wrangler supply will go back down. Weren't they going to build a third vehicle in Toldeo too? I can't remember.

    What the stock market likes most is certainty. With the current resident of the Whitehouse, the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty.

    I got one as change on the dining car on an Amtrak trip years ago. I keep it in my wallet as a good luck charm. .... ...... hasn't seemed to work.

    Hybrids are still where it's at for now in terms of electrification.... especially with the output the Aviator GT is promising.

    This is a car that everyone seems to get excited about except me. I liked the old 159, it had character, but these I find to be just so anonymous. The interiors are nothing to write home about either.

    I like Infiniti spelled out across the front and that they put depth into the Infiniti logo. I've seen that on their other concepts.

    The Navigator doesn't feel at all slow.... with the 10-speed you are always in the deep deep powerband. I don't care what the ultimate 0-60 is, it is a terrible measure of performance. The Aviator... especially the GT model with all of the electric torque should feel the same.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    Good!

    just take his passport and if he qualifies for bail... then that's that

    I work with one Canadian and it is hilarious when he gets mad and lets out a string of cusswords punctuated with "eh"

    An FCA inline 6 would make a great competitor to Fords 2.7 V6 and the new 4-cylinder Silverado.... all fairly close in displacement, but the FCA version, by virtue of being an I6, should be the smoothest and most powerful of them all.
