Lets talk about new vehicles

No doubt an AI rendering of a Mitsubishi Montero but this thing looks awesome. I'd buy that...
Kcjeep is already asking if it comes in green... you only need to watch the first 30 seconds

Looks like a Mitsu version of the new Pathfinder. Not a bad thing IMO.

Green! Love it.

I thought they could not / would not discount Corvettes? That’s why only @Patman can afford one.

When I factory ordered my 2018 I was able to get an $8000 discount off the MSRP! Coincidentally it cost me $63,000 Canadian ($46,000 US). Mine is also just a base model with the 1LT package and only a few lower cost options to keep the price lower. So I got myself a bargain Corvette 😃

To help give it a few guts, suggest changing the drive mode to Sport. There's a rocker switch, and Sport is one push forward. It will stay in that mode until turning the car off... or change to a different mode. Bonus: It disables auto stop/start. It will never feel like an Audi for acceleration.

We get 20-22 mpg on our trips to Wisconsin (1200 miles each way), keeping at 75-80-ish mph. We had a good tailwind once and got 23 mpg. MPG is much worse driving in town.

So I drove the Pilot on Saturday evening & tried the sport mode as you suggested. It exacerbated the issue in 1st gear but did allow perceptible shifts from 1-2-3, unlike before. This thing drives like it has an extremely high stall converter. Like an old 3spd TH350 with a 5000rpm stall converter. Engine is nearly at 2k rpm before the vehicle even moves and is at 3k rpm just to cruise on a 35mph street. I don't drive aggressively & my other vehicles wouldn't even be close to 2k rpm in any situation under the same conditions. This V6 must not produce any torque down low. I will say the driver seat is much better than the passenger seat. It's not a great seat by any stretch of the imagination but light years better than the passenger seat. Still really dislike this thing overall.
 
New for 1953 Chebby Bel Air with Dinah Shore and that hot 115 hp with PowerSlip... 😁

Personally I thought these were very ugly... you can skip the first bar here..

 
I hear the Eclipse Cross is getting discontinued this year....
I found the interior too tight, dismal mpgs, and earlier not so great crash tests...

I feel like every single McDonald’s in every single town has a group of about 20-30 retired folks who like to hang out there for breakfast every day. It’s kinda cute actually 🤪
I joined them this morning for breakfast, got myself a sweet deal on the app! For $4.50 ($3.25 US) I got a Chicken McMuffin, hash brown and a coffee! 🤓
 
To me it appears the Nissan Leaf has come a long way... I like the underbody cladding...it looks quality as well as the interior

I could see it as a every day cruiser
Home charged of course...

In Palm Coast the police are on motorcycles picking off people left and right.... sooner or later they will pick you off
