I don't quite get this. https://www.thedrive.com/news/43963/2023-cadillac-escalade-v-series-this-is-it I always saw the Escalade as the SUV to be driven around in, not to drive yourself but I guess it will appeal to somebody.

I took a long look at the Escalade, Grand Wagoner and Navigator before I decided to drop down a segment and get the SRT Durango. I always felt the experience was better in the passenger seat or back seat then up front when I was in one of the full sized luxury SUVs. That said if I ever decide to move up to the full size lux SUV I'll get the Grand Wagoner. That thing was nice. davecrazy fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jan 21, 2022 |

A tonneau cover for a work pickup is great. I had a soft rollup one on my '05 Dakota when I was flipping houses in the mid aughts.

So what does "Ferrari derived engine" mean, really when it comes to AlfaRomeo? The blocks forged in the same factory in Italy or something?

I've driven a few Alfas and Fiats over the years during trips to Italy to see family. Never had a bad experience with one and they were fun to drive but I didn't have to live with it either.

So buy a 90k sports sedan with a kinda sorta Ferrari engine, just needs 3k+ worth of basic maintenance every 30k miles. You gotta really love the Alfa or the engine to want to buy one over a similar BMW/Mercedes /Caddy and they all probably have nicer interiors to boot.

My '21 Durango has buttons for everything you would need along with the redundancy of the infotainment. Climate controls, radio, seat heat and vent, steering wheel heat. Even has a tactile button of launch control, park assist, and lane assist.

I like manual cars as much as anybody, but is anybody really asking for a "pseudo manual" transmission in an EV? https://www.thedrive.com/news/44261/toyota-has-a-patent-to-recreate-manual-transmissions-for-evs quote:Among the many things people fear the downturn of internal combustion will render a thing of the past is the manual transmission, and the engaging experience of shifting one's own gears. Toyota doesn't seem to believe that has to be the case, though, as it has patented mechanisms that'd let an electric vehicle simulate the operation of a manual down to the last gritty, gear-grinding detail.

Apparently if you want an AlfaRomeo they're available. https://jalopnik.com/even-with-the-new-car-supply-shortage-no-one-wants-an-a-1848575002 quote:Alfa Romeos sold in January went for more than $3,400 below MSRP on average — an industry record for the month.

skipdogg posted:I think It’s awesome. I wonder how many 120k 668HP Escalades they will sell. I bet more than they think. Dodge couldn’t build enough Hellcat Durango’s. Dealer markups we’re pushing them well into 100k territory. I’m sure GM will sell as many of these as they can build. Still I never thought of the Escalade as a drivers car. Better to be a passenger in one. We will see.

They'll sell every one that they make The guy who does my ceramic coating had a G63 in the bay getting prepped last time I was there. Having never seen one up close I was pretty impressed. And I'm not a Mercedes guy AT ALL.

I had an 05 Dodge Dakota 4x4 that was a great work truck but was an ok daily driver. It was not nearly as big and obnoxious as the Ram 1500. One time we needed fill for a job site. I found a contractor who was excavating a foundation for some new construction down the street from our site. Drove over and had the excavator dump two bucket fulls of dirt right in the bed. Felt like a TV commercial. Later when I had a kid the baby seat fit fine in the back of the quadcab. In summary, pickup trucks are a land of contrasts. And cool. davecrazy fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jul 30, 2022 |

I'm a v8 guy. I've owned a muscle car/v8 every day of my life since 2003. My current daily drive is a Durango SRT 392. This poo poo is right in my wheelhouse as a consumer, but the fake noise just seems do dumb.

After reading more about it, if I didn't have a basketball teams worth of kids to drive around I'd totally look at getting a Hornet. In 2017 I had a Nissan Rouge which I loved. It was peppy enough for what it was, the CVT was the worst thing about it. But something that size with a TT I4 and hybrid electric? Sign me up.

Our '22 Grand Cherokee has a 100% digital gauge cluster, but it looks like a natural part of the dashboard. The new base model Mustang looks like they just wedged an iPad in there and called it a day.

Mr. Wiggles posted:You may know me as someone who likes small cars, like Yugos and Demios. Or ecologically friendly cars like hybrids and such. And bieks. These are all true things - I love those things. But my first car was an AMC, and I've had a number of Chryslers and Jeeps and Plymouths over the years, and deep deep inside me there is a Mopar man yearning to be free. And the new 1025 HP Dodge Demon may be the thing to give me that freedom from this mortal coil when I crash into a wall. The usual dodge forums are already reporting dealers are quoting 150k+ over sticker. quote:It won’t come as a surprise to learn that the fuel mileage is going to be brutal. We don’t have exact figures yet, but Kuniskis called it “terrible,” explaining that the injectors in the Demon 170 can flow 164 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle. But you’ll never be able to do that, because at WOT the Demon 170 empties its entire 18.5-gallon gas tank in just five minutes.

Elem7 posted:Found that to be surprising, I assumed they were still unobtanium without big markups, so I had a look and astonishingly my local dealer has one, which is really really surprising because they're tiny and I don't think I've ever even seen a regular SRT Durango sitting in stock there. Doesn't matter though, $108k MSRP!?! The big diffence between the ‘21 and the ‘23 are the upgraded headliner and Hellcat logo on the seat backs is missing on the ‘23s. The rest is the same best I can tell. Seems nuts to me that it’s a 10k price increase from ‘21 but you get a few things that are less “premium” then the cheaper ‘21.
