But if I were them I'd invest some of it in giving Dodge a logo/identity that doesn't make it look like a dollar store brand. no, they're cooking the books and bleeding to death. pushing back pretty much every product launch, shopping for a merger, and now rumored to be shopping alfa and Maserati around. toyota has the 2.4 V6TT in the TS050 that could very nearly slot right in but i can't imagine how that would benefit their business. I could see ford doing it for something else to slap an ecoboost sticker on.

drgitlin posted:There are hybrid versions of the GLC and Volvo, and the NX is an utterly garbage car no one should buy. Haven't driven a Lincoln yet. Every new mercedes is going to be a mild hybrid within a few years. The new i4 and i6 are designed from the ground up around an electric motor/generator on the crankshaft for the i6 and belt driven for the i4 that acts as the starter, alternator, can contribute 20hp on acceleration, recover energy on deceleration, and powers 48v electric motors that runs the A/C and water pump, as well as spools the turbo. Even though it's not called a hybrid, it's probably the easiest example to use for F1 tech being used in road cars. There are so many benefits and so few drawbacks, i would imagine within 10 years almost every ICE engine production car will start to look like that, and it's all a directly related to what F1 is doing right now.
