As much as I'd want one... Gt350's these days (slightly used) are in that price range. If I REALLY wanted another car I'd go for that probably. I'm looking forward to seeing if Ford actually does do this Ranger raptor how it'll look like.Originally Posted by Darkane

I read that the 2019 Ram has a rear diff cooler so they can run a lighter weight of gear oil (im assuming to try and boost efficiency by reducing driveline losses?).

Man, I like the idea of a mid-size and everything but why do they make all these new models look so big and bubbly. Both the new Ranger and the Colorado have the same issues.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I am wondering what happens in winter with the hybrid portion. Or if will be like Start/Stop system where it totally disappears in winters.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Still don't get why they call it a 53 but not AMG. Then why don't they just call it a 500 then.

What do you mean? My start stop works fine in the winters.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The 53's are under the Mercedes-AMG brand. Not sure where you read they're not AMGs. Aside from the fact it's not really an AMG motor but that's a whole other can of worms.

Yup. Active suspension too haha. 275hp 6 speed manual, should be a decent car assuming it's priced half decent.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

At 35k it’s cool. At 40k pay an extra 5 to get ‘the’ hot hatch type R.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I like that new ranger a lot.
I really like that new RDX and Acura has announced along with bringing back the Type-S line with an acura exclusive turbo 6
New engine will be exclusive to Acura and comes with SH-AWD.
Acura announced today that it will relaunch its Type-S performance lineup in the coming years. And it’s not simply a trim pack like the existing A-Spec models: Acura says that all the new Type-S models will have a unique engine.
There’s no word yet exactly which vehicles will be given the Type-S treatment, though Acura says that “multiple products” will launch over the coming years. The cars will get a new turbocharged V6 engine mated to the brand’s torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). That engine will be exclusive to Acura – in other words, it won’t be shared with any Honda products.
The decision to reintroduce the performance models, Acura says, makes sense as the brand follows its new mantra of “Precision Crafted Performance.”
“Acura will pursue a unique powertrain strategy that underscores the brand's rightful place as the performance division of Honda,” Toshiaki Mikoshiba, president & CEO of American Honda Motor Co, said in a statement.
The last Type-S was the 2008 Acura TL. Upgrades included a more powerful engine, stronger brakes, and unique chassis tuning. Perhaps most memorable was the Acura RSX Type-S, with 200 horsepower from a super-high-revving VTEC engine, plus an ultra-slick six-speed manual gearbox.
That the new Type-S models will move to turbocharged power is not totally surprising given the trend toward turbocharging across the auto industry. Within Honda, for instance, the Civic Si and Type R have both adopted turbocharging instead of high-revving naturally aspirated engines.
Acura also reiterated today that it will offer an A-Spec trim level of every model going forward. The 2019 RDX is the first SUV to get the A-Spec treatment; that badge was first used on the 2004 TL sedan and is currently available on the TLX and ILX, as well as the new RDX. But A-Spec tends to be less extreme in terms of mechanical upgrades than what we’re expecting from the forthcoming Type-S models.

It’s funny because Acura has an exclusive turbo 6. It’s exclusive because it only exists as Acura here.
The new engine has me wondering it’ll be a 3L TT, 350-400hp. They’re late to the game again.

Veloster N looks like it has some ripped off design cues from the Focus RS. #salty

In the time when everyone hybridize their performance power plants (Merc and Volvo), they just caught up to 2006 BMW.

crappy gfx processor, the VAG group uses nvidia chips so its a smooth 60fps
go find the last dodge viper vid of the dash, when it revved to redline it dropped to 5fps during the transition of the background from black to red, that kinda shit is a deal breaker for me
i tried finding a vid on youtube there are a bunch of the new bullitt but not one shows the dash in action
