Throatwarbler posted:Mazda is a maker of generally fuel efficient small cars, that's their edge. The other two have the edge in making huge chrome 16mpg oxcarts. Would have thought that was common knowledge in this forum. i think the broader point was that mazda could easily oppose regulations that would be good for the end customer/people/the environment/frogs if it supported their bottom line. all companies look out for their core profits first, it's what they're supposed to do.

I think the point is not "Mazda is looking out for the greater good", but "isn't it funny that these fuel economy laws are opposed by a company whose bread and butter is fuel economy; maybe something is wrong with the law".

Here's the newest Cadillac sedan, the CT5, which is meant to replace both the ATS and CTS. The new Cadillac center stack saves the CT5 from the biggest sin of the ATS and CTS, and maybe it'll be big enough for adults to sit in the back unlike the ATS. Design is nice save for the fact that GM was too cheap to put glass on that C-pillar.

I guess 1 year ago, some exec burst into the design studio with a printout of the BMW 6 GT and demanded it be cloned.

The ATS is pretty cool though, but that might just be the novelty of never seeing them here in Sweden speaking.

Did they bump into some guy from Buick in the elevator and mix up their design drawings?

The best part is all the pieces falling out of what used to the be the differential. The second best part is watching the shockwave rattle all the loosely fitting body panels and trunk.

Oh yeah, we actually had a rental 2019 Grand Caravan a couple of weeks ago. I insisted it was an older model but the VIN checked out as a 2019 and some research showed that yes, they still sell the previous-platform FCA minivan alongside the newer Pacifica as a 'budget' option. Trip report: It was pretty awful.

Kinda funny cause the first few trim levels of the Caravan and Pacifica are pretty much identical in price. What is the argument for ever buying the Caravan over the Pacifica?? Caravan SE $26,790 SXT $32,290 Pacifica L $26,985 LX $29,795 Touring Plus $33,245

What is the argument for ever buying the Caravan over the Pacifica?? Incentives and fleet sales. Sticker price is one thing, but you can walk into a Dodge fleet dealer with $20k and walk out with a Caravan, I guarantee it. For example: there's $4k cash on hood in my area on 2019 Grand Caravans. That's before any dealer discount or anything else. Twerk from Home fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Mar 20, 2019 |
