second ask. Next time you’ll be asked to exit. You can easily disagree without the rude personal comments.

oh damn that's interesting i didn't realize that about the A8... a longitudinal front engine, FWD layout was unknown to me lol

from a quick wikipedia article skim it looks like audi is basically the only company still doing this




there's your proportions right there

 

Received an old entertainment magazine today. I miss the old days.

 

I would rather have the F150 hybrid in this case.

I can tow a 26ft enclosed trailer with car + tools + etc inside right at 200 miles on a tank of gas with a gas guzzling 5.7 V8

 

Part of why I didn't pick the A6. The choices are AWD or FWD and I wasn't looking for either.

 

Yep. That MLB platform is natively FWD with longitudinal engine orientation. It’s obviously designed to accommodate AWD but its humble origins can’t be hidden.

 

saw this cool license plate

 

I agree. All signs very clearly indicate the A8 is FWD-based but @Striker223 refuses to admit/acknowledge this for whatever reason 🤷🏻‍♂️



Does anyone want to try and convince me that the Ford Five Hundred was RWD too?

 

 

really sorry to hear... someone could at least drop something off in your driveway and leave.

90% off?

keep believing what you want to believe, lol.

my acura legend v6 was that way too, but they designed it beautifully without a huge front overhang like that audi..

 

blimey! didn't know that either! always assumed it was transverse

now why would honda do this though? especially considering it was never meant to be anything other than a V6... seems like you get the disadvantages of a FR layout with no benefits lol... with the audi at least we know that platform was meant to accommodate bigger engines

 

Thanks. Yes, my sister's husband works corporate for a cruise line and gets an insane discount like that.

Beautiful Legend.

This Covid is pretty crappy, feels like a light case of the flu. Zero appetite, we just want some icees.

 

I've been meaning to get the latest booster but i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

I'm iffy on boosters but I didn't think they were recommended for all of us, just the elderly, immunocompromised, etc.

I'd love some sizzzuryyyppp but the doctor's office is closed. But I swear, plain old Advil works better than even drugs (I noticed this through my back surgeries)...

Speaking of that Acura, check this out:

It won. It still looks great, both inside and out. Loved those 90s Acura interiors.

Edit = $83,000 in today's money, that Legend. That's kind of insane.

 

This isn't a dig or a debate it's just something I've noticed over the past couple weeks.

Car mags online like C&D & Motor Trend are heavily testing ICE-only vehicles and actually writing passionately about them.

Wondering if they're getting any pushback from the many who just aren't interested in where things are going.

I'd post this in EV chat but I'm not trying to start any arguments, it's just something I've noticed.

I read about a Mercedes AMG today on a FB C&D blog that I honestly didn't even know existed, pure ICE 4.0tt. I was shocked that there was no cheery mention of hybrids and batteries and 1002 hp.
