give us back the Sebring
dense shard
And if that's anything like the Dart, it's a turd.
It's still an FCA small car.
oh no
And yet the Dart was a critical failure in the US.
The 500 did no better.
devout atlas
it's because the US market is a big pot of bias and pain
dense shard
How was it messed with Chrysler?
devout atlas
and it's matured enough
dense shard
The Dart did nothing to reverse Chrysler rep in the US.
Those had to be done.
There's no quotations.
Either the car is legal or it isn't.
That's on FCA for half assing it then.
If compliance has to be retrofitted for a made for the US platform... I'd say that's halfassery.
They should have designed a product for the market.
Then they shouldn't have sold it at any point.
"it was designed for another market" doesn't fly when it's released elsewhere.
And yet, Fiat tried to sell it in the US.
They could have put the time and money into making a product worth owning... or they could have half assed it.
Just as Lincoln halfasses their shit for Europe, Fiat halfassed their stuff for America.
Both deserve any and all flak they get.
But I'm talking about the Dart mainly.
I'm aware of what the 500 was.
Just because it was made before anyone planned anything doesn't relegate it from being criticized.
Fiat, stupidly, chose to sell a car not fit for the US market.
It's like selling bacon in Israel.
And anyway. FCA's efforts with the Dart only paint them in a worse picture.
And what conditions were those?
Cause if I think about it even a tiny bit.
The 500 being sold in the US makes zero sense.
I vaguely remember those, but it doesn't excuse shoddy products.
The Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart were both fresh cars that were flat out non-competitive.
And that was against the era Civic and Corolla which aren't known for their qualities.
So they increased sales at the cost of quality.
Amusingly. Jeep and RAM now make up the bulk of FCA's profits.
The rebadge is a detriment to quality when the original product is already crap.
It has the potential to drag the rebadge brand down.
That's... that's not exactly a good thing.
oof
That's actually really sad.
It's cheap, but it's a penalty box given form.
It is the last car in the US to be sold with a 4 speed automatic.
The only redeeming feature of the Journey is the price per passenger.
Otherwise it's a product of Cerberus Capital.
It has 6, 9, and now 9 speeds.
It's a decent engine, but it's getting on in age.
no, the Cherokee does.
same engine
oh, the 300.
It's a former Mercedes product.
I guess it still works?
Nothing FCA does in the US makes any sense.
indigo coral
Majority of Journeys still have the 4 speed slushbox from the 90s
indigo coral
4?
indigo coral
300 died now I thought
dense shard
Because the Voyager, Pacifica, and Pacifica PHEV are totally 3 unique products. /s
indigo coral
Voyager? Tf?
dense shard
It's the low end trim of the Pacifica.
indigo coral
Ah
dense shard
It's a trim, not a model.
indigo coral
So in a practical purposes they have 2 cars
dense shard
Yes.
indigo coral
300 and pacifica
devout atlas
how the mighty have fallen
dense shard
You think that's bad.
indigo coral
Yup
dense shard
VW rebranded the Caravan as a Touran.
oh right, the Durango. lol
Another Daimler era product.
To think. FCA's freshest product in the US is a Jeep.
indigo coral
Ford has talked about cancelling the Edge/Escape alongside their sedans and relegating people who want a small ford SUV to either the explorer or ecosport, and the ecosport is hot trash
dense shard
I haven' theard of the Edge going away.
indigo coral
I should say, just not refreshing them anymore and letting the model die not immediate cancellation
dense shard
But I can see the Escape going away to justify the new Bronco Sport.
It's not a brand, it's a lifestyel.
indigo coral
Ford is making a lot of stupid decisions atm
dense shard
The Jeep Gladiator...
A pickup truck that went on sale a few months after it was released.
Rumors are Jeep was giving out 10k discounts.
indigo coral
I totally get cancelling the Taurus. They literally were selling like 200 a year. But it was dumb to cancel the Fusion
dense shard
Rumors are the Fusion will be replaced with a tall wagon soon™️.
indigo coral
In the US?
indigo coral
FCA and electrical doesn't mix
dense shard
It's a proud tradition going back to the 60s.
Then FCA needs to hold their suppliers to better standards.
indigo coral
^
dense shard
FCA products tend to have issues in the US.
That includes RAM.
Electrical issues that aren't as notable in Ford or GM.
indigo coral
Jdpower is bullshit
indigo coral
That and they get paid by manufacturers
dense shard
The current 2019 Ram is rated with a predicted reliability rating of only two out five.
American truck owners are also willing to forgive a lot.
I don't know if this is blind tribalism or sunken cost fallacies.
GM, Ford, and RAM each have, imo, severe issues.
why do people need digital rear view mirrors!?
That's such a fucking gimmick.
You can then adjust your side view mirrors to compensate.
Move your cargo to unblock rear sightlines.
Ask your passengers to move.
I think there isn't a single favorable view on digital rear view mirrors.
well yes, I don't have an issue with the rest. lol
LED headlamps and fogs is great imo if properly designed.
I won't judge till that's released.
Not a huge fan of all digital clusters, but who am I to say no to progress.
New dash design is overdue, 360 cameras sound kinda gimmicky to me, but w/e.
If it helps someone, that's awesome.
New platforms are also a welcome move.
But more electronic gimmicks that go beyond safety... ergh. I do not like that.
Automakers must perfect single screen interfaces before they start throwing more screens and functions in.
Right now every automaker's touchscreen has interface issues.
Either lag, not user friendly, or lacks buttons.
In a few cases all three. 😂
Looking at your Jaguar and Land Rover.
Screw step up. The systems need to be as fast, smooth, and intuitive as the 90s were.
I know I'm being harsh.
But honestly this is a huge safety concern.
Rumors are uConnect is one of the better systems out there.
I haven't played with GM's system, but I can believe it because Ford Sync is... laggy and not easy to use.
Toyota's Entune 3.0 is kinda crap.
I say that as a Toyota owner.
Honda's system was blah.
Mazda's was very fast, smooth, but not the easiest to use.
Sure.
That doesn't mean the generations old hardware has to be buggy, laggy, and confusing.
Automakers should 100% focus on responsiveness and ease of use.
I don't care if the graphics are ugly. Make it work.
dense shard
Mazda's system for example is very very spartan. But man oh man it is smoooooooth.
Toyota's digital cluster is weird.
indigo coral
Like physical gauges with a screen in the middle (G70) is great but I hate the design of 99% of digital clusters
dense shard
I appreciate Toyota's last gen approach as much as I hate it. lol
indigo coral
The fake floating gauges in my RX is decent imo
Better than needles in gray plastic with numbers on it at least
stoic ledge
I liked BMWs approach in like the F10/F11 5er
dense shard
It really shouldn't be an issue tho.
stoic ledge
And this is just perfection
dense shard
no temp gauge?
stoic ledge
Nope 
indigo coral
yes you can, Tesla did
stoic ledge
It was in the Corsa C, it was in the Corsa E, but not in the Corsa D
dense shard
You can take the time and money to develop a responsive digitizer.
indigo coral
it's a responsive screen, for all their other faults
dense shard
If the tech isn't mature. Don't shove it in.

Otherwise you have created an unsafe driving environment.
indigo coral
course even shitty touchscreens is better than Lexus infotainment

Screw step up. The systems need to be as fast, smooth, and intuitive as the 90s were.
@dense shard well. golly gee whizz, my dad did drive a 90s corolla for a while, so I know what you mean

devout atlas
my dad drives the peak-boomer faux wood-inserts 2007
indigo coral
yea. But the G70 wagon might be a Europe exclusive >:(
indigo coral
explain how Tesla has a fast screen then
indigo coral
If you can't use glass + capacitive touch
dense shard
Millions of dollars.
They should take an extra few million to develop a system that doesn't lag.
A system that makes sense to use.
UI shouldn't be a huge issue, yet it is.
devout atlas
they don't develop this
stoic ledge
yea. But the G70 wagon might be a Europe exclusive >:(
@indigo coral yes pls
dense shard
Someone develops it, and someone signs off on it.
devout atlas
they offload the work to crappy OEMs
dense shard
Both need to be slapped.
OEMs aren't an excuse.
Automakers provide the specs and do final approval.
indigo coral
no don't make it exclusive, I want one @stoic ledge
dense shard
Also not very user friendly.
You shouldn't have to touch a screen to change wiper speeds.
indigo coral
I agree but I was just saying the screen is fast + has good touch
dense shard
oh yeah.
dense shard
Tesla proves it can be done.
Hell... Mazda proved it can be done.
Mind you they removed the touch screen bit.
indigo coral
Tesla's software is awful but the screen hardware is good
dense shard
well... till it destroys the flash memory... or the screen starts leaking.
I don't believe in planned obsolescence in cars, but damn Tesla makes a good argument.
indigo coral
Yeah then they find that issue and cut the warranty in half
dense shard
"second warranty is up you'll need to replace the entire screen computer."
dense shard
I think their parts are certified.
It's hard to sell anything in the US otherwise.
I'm calling bull on decades.
then it's?
So it's an internal standard set internally, and tested and approved... internally.
"we have looked into the issue, and found we have done nothing wrong"
Self proclaimed standards are the last ones I believe from automakers.
Especially after pretty much all of them were caught lying.
indigo coral
Tesla's scamming is getting insane
indigo coral
"we found a defect with the chip on here, so instead of stepping up and fixing it like every other automaker, were going to cut the warranty, for future and retroactively, so that everyone has to pay for it isntead of having it covered"
dense shard
And a few of those are also government standards.
The chip wasn't at fault.
It was designed to work without telematics. Tesla basically asked a fat man to run 10k.
Tesla fucked themselves with their own feature creep... somehow they lacked the foresight to foresee this.
devout atlas
I'd argue that nobody foresaw tesla becoming the beheamoth that it is
devout atlas
it's also a functioning firm
dense shard
With real competition, they've fallen behind in Norway.
dense shard
I don't have context on what it specifically takes to design a car.
And honestly? I don't need the context. I look at cars from the consumer point of view.
Prices are going up, features are increasing, and I'm going to hold automakers accountable.
I don't care if it is difficult to implement a feature.
I do expect it to work.
Perfectly, every time.
Paying 40k for a laggy, buggy, PITA screen is not acceptable.
I now the basics of how it goes down behind the scenes.
But the end results I view as a consumer.
Lots of effort, I get it.
Doesn't mean the end result is good. Sometimes more effort is needed.
I put a lot of effort into my school work. Doesn't mean I got all As.
Whatever reason any automaker has.
It's not good enough for buggy, laggy, unintuitive software.
That's great, but consumers don't care.
We want something that works.
It can be a literal potato that powers it all.
If it works, it works.

210-225 in the crown vic
245 in the p71 police interceptors
the DOHC variants are in the marauder and ccx
and a bunch of boutique supercars
the rest of us get SOHC variants
civic girder
Fundementally, yea, you can't really change rotor shape and whatnot. But it seems like each manufacturers take on the rotary has dramatic design differences in how the housings are designed and how the rotor is mounted
Its the same way with piston motors
The fundemental design is the same, but head shapes and block design can vary greatly

Automatics are fine, when built properly. Such as when they have proper gear ratios and a decent number of gears. Also nice when they shift smoothly and at proper times, as well as when the kickdown functions logically.

I use high temp bearing grease when I pack bearings

11 euros for a set of tyres?

It just dawned on me.
Basically no one will be able to redline the Koenigsegg Regera while driving.

The nice thing about parking the truck locally. I save 8 gallons a week (30 liters).

time for new tires?
stoic ledge
For €11... Probably
fathom socket
They still have thread
I just put them because my winter tires were already worn down
Basically polish made tires
They are cheap by them selfs
But 14 inch rims
If 18 inches is considered poor spec
These tires are very noisy
No wonder nobody wanted them

the 4.6 is too expensive to get power out of
wouldn't have been worth it
500hp coyote working condition motor for 8k cad was a good deal to toss in it

there's a learning curve to them for sure
Even having experience with a manual transmission car, I still took thirty minutes to leave my driveway for the first time
civic girder
what
charred depot
gets annoying taking this road with people making no attempt to keep left having their wing mirrors over the line
civic girder
Took me multiple watches to see what you meant
I can't count how many times I've used my horn
most recent usage was because it looked like someone was about to cut in front of me
then that person got all pissed off for some reason and gave me the stink eye out their window as they blew by me at 20 over the limit while laying on their horn
charred depot
Busses can use the road in my video by the way
civic girder
like, you pulled out into the middle of the road and it looked like you were about to try and jump it and my brakes are shit, I was just making sure you knew I was there. Didn't have to be such a dick about it
charred depot
the government wont widen the road but will build a massive cyclepath next to it that barely gets used
id say people here more use the high beam flash than the horn
civic girder
widening a road is a pain in the dick
lane closures are so god damn annoying
everyone hates it, and the government knows it
charred depot
there is actually a detour to avoid this road which is a tiny bit longer
its really not that much longer
civic girder
I take a detour on the way home to avoid a really shitty intersection.
Same intersection I rear ended somebody in
psychological trauma, and the detour is more fun
Personally I'd take the detour if I were you. Better than waking up in a hospital with no idea how you got there
charred depot
blue is the road im on
civic girder
Yea, just take the red lol
if it really sketches you out that much anyway
I'd have to drive it myself to really know
charred depot
I enjoy the backroads most people keep left as much as they can
civic girder
here, what you would call a "backroad" is a glorified gravel road
aka, its paved, but its so deteriorated that your butt thinks it was paved 4 centuries ago
charred depot
some of our backroads and arterial roads dont have much between them
this is a arterial road which the government doesent want to make a dual carriageway for some reason
civic girder
god damn
charred depot
fortunetely for me where i join and leave there is roundabouts
civic girder
Americans don't know how to roundabout
charred depot
at rush hour i dont know how long youd be waiting to get out at a T junction
charred depot
everything is a roundabout in my town
I take more roundabouts than I do "normal junctions" going to university
we have massive ones all the way down to little painted circles
civic girder
yea, in the US, if you're not careful you'll get t-boned and/or sideswiped when trying to use a roundabout
charred depot
with hopes and dreams of people not driving straight over them
civic girder
People love to whip around roundabouts as fast as they can
charred depot
on the 2 lane ones here people like to cut across both lanes going straight
charred depot
they also have a dedicated cycle path about 50m away from the road
what he is doing is completely legal and some people are too scared to path them closely
civic spoke
That reminds me of a a road that Google Maps wants you to take, instead of the 'longer' and straighter way.
Above road is a slower road most of the time. And trucks aren't allowed in there because of how narrow it is.
