You are not wrong about the relevancy of the old names. At some point they can call it anything. But the converse is that there is zero advantage to bringing back to the market a name that has been gone for decades. On the other hand, if you're Ford Marketing, attaching the Mustang name is the...

Confirmed. Now, where'd I put my AARP card?

Who is Ford targeting for the Mustang (in any configuration)? People who grew up on the '64 - '26 cars or a younger population of buyers? If they are targeting the younger population of drivers, how many of them remember or give a blip about Falcon, Thunderbird, Taurus, et cetera. They know...

Actually, the CT5 V BW has been pretty much confirmed. GM has said there will be a next generation CT5 and that it would include a V8 and a manual transmission. Sounds like BW.

I'm voting social media. But on the other hand, Dick Tracy was all over the Apple Watch :crackup:

Lobsters pee from their face. Hey! What are you staring at?...No...wait...STOP THAT!! Why lobsters pee from their face.

There's a bit of a perspective thing going on there that's not totally correct, but those things are huge. Here's a pic I took in front of one at, of all places, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Note the height of the left front tire compared to the people standing near it. That and...

Point Nemo is a position in the Pacific Ocean that is the furthest distance from land than any other place on Earth. If you are at Point Nemo you are Further from the nearest human than astronauts were on Skylab when it was functioning. About as far away from the nearest humans as astronauts...

At a press event discussing the 2027 Corvette lineup, Corvette Chief Engineer Josh Holder provided some details on the LS6 engine. Top right corner. 535 hp, 520 lb-ft. Expect Camaro to get the same engine, same output. GM has stopped playing the de-rating game when putting Corvette engines in...

It wasn't because of lifter problems. There was a supplier problem with bearings.

For the most part both you guys are right. You're just shopping in different aisles. The GM lifter issue is directly related to the implementation of AFM. All 6.2L got the AFM lifters whether the vehicle has AFM implemented or not. Sorta like all 6.2L have hardened valve trains to support...

I'll be the contrarian. BMW 4-Series M. Sweet 4-door performance car. Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing - Basically a Camaro ZL1 with more class. And a manual. Dodge Charger - was always a 2-door until it wasn't. Offered in the same showroom with the 2-door Challenger. Outsold it in every trim...

As @WltoTX is saying, the GM racing engines are 5.5L flat plane crank DOHC. The Active Fuel Management engines are 6.2L OHV engines. Camaro will have the 6.7L OHV engines that are the 6th generation of "Chevy Small Block" engines.

I was in a stall at work and the guy in the next stall was on his phone. I could hear a high pitched voice coming through his phone talking at Indy flag lap speeds. He kept trying, unsuccessfully, to get a word in edgewise. Eventually he said "I can't deal with this now, I'm in the middle of...

The issue here is that it was a very LOCAL decision that Ford CORPORATE has now had to handle on the fly. Big corporations have a difficult time doing that, especially with sensitive HR issues and especially when the remedy is one based more on human responsibility and action (apologize) versus...

Ed Gein, the serial killer upon whom the characters Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill, Hannibal Lechter, Leatherface, and Michael Meyers was based never in his life traveled more than 150 miles from his birthplace.

Ford wrongly accused a worker of stealing a $1.95 cookie and fired him After accusing a longtime employee of stealing a $1.95 cookie, Ford tried to hire him back. But Kurt Kromm, 60, says there's one thing standing in the way of his return: An apology that never came. Kromm spent 11 years...

Where the hell is the facepalm emoji?

Either way, it's all about who he screwed.
