Pop the hood of the Charger, see a packed cluster f*&^ed engine
compartment, walk away... Pop the hood of the Rustang, see a packed
cluster f*&^ed engine compartment, walk away...
Yeah, that's what scares me. The new Rustang looks great, but the
interior I hear sucks and still, a sub 5 liter 8 in a musclecar? Yuk. I
don't care that it's the magic 'modular' motor or that it's politically
correct. It's a fucking musclecar. The point is your right foot
controls how fast you hit Mach 1 and how much of the world hears you...
The bad thing about the Ecotec is it doesnt get great gas mileage but
its still the best 4 banger out there.
But it's still a 4 banger. And no matter how good they get, I always
find them lacking...
The 3800's are being dropped by the bean counters for an engineering
nightmare called the 60 degree v6.
Another brilliant GM move - kill off the best motor in the industry.
The Sky is a Kappa Platform and GM
was going to come out with a Zeta platform which was also going to be a
RWD sedan platform but the F*&$ING IDIOTS postponed its development for
increased SUV productions!!!
Typical GM. What idiot spends 50 grand on Suburban anyway? the only
way a Suburban is ever cool is if it's an older one that's jacked up
high enough you can drive over a Corvette without damaging it.
With gas prices going only in one direction
and the continued drop in SUV sales WTF ARE THEY THINKING!!! I am
getting so SICK of SUV's! They are so damn worthless...
There's an orange Chevy pickup for sale near me that just screams
badass. My mind says no fucking way but it just looks like FUN. And
it's high enough that you can just sit under it when you do the oil...
SUV sales in general are done. The big fad's faded. People are sick of
them. Sedans are the next big thing.
Here is my wish, a all aluminum Series IV 3800 making the following
220hp NA / 275hp SC / 310hp TC
With Displacement on Demand and only in RWD vehicles. I might actually
consider buying a "brand new" car then. Right now I see no reason to
part with my Bonneville for the next 5 to 10 years.
I wish GM would wake up and get on the RWD bandwagon bigtime, along with
shoreing up their V6/V8 offerings. Or, go with the old Nova concept
circa 1970 - a nice looking car that you could get just about any
powertrain you wanted in it, along with granny car to badass tire smoker
tirm options. Didn't they offer like 7 or 8 engines on that thing for a
year or two? There's a zillion of 'em still out there because they
bsold a zillion of 'em in the first place because you could get the
things however the heck you wanted.
Come on GM, you've got the best transmissions, the best engines out
there. Get the rest of the car up to snuff and you'll get people in the
showroom bigtime. Quit it with the silly HHR stuff and blandola FWD
grannymobiles already. Let Toyota make the frek cars and grab the
granny market. Most people under 30 wouldnt' be caught dead behind the
wheel of a Camary as it is. Leverage that to your advantage...
