It's a golden age for the mechanical side and performance, not looks. Safety has made cars fat and hard to see out of. So now cars are going to start getting cameras everywhere so people stop running over their kids. Although I wonder in how many of those cases the kid would still have gotten run over because some people just don't pay attention no matter how much the car holds their hand. My '89 F-150 has way better visibility, and is easier to park in some cases, than my '11 Fiesta.

Welp, I guess that means I'm going to start stealing tailgates for a living now :v:

A friend had the tailgate stolen on his 1794 Edition Tundra sitting outside a popular restaurant at 5pm. He'd been inside for maybe 5 minutes when someone came in and asked where his tailgate was.

I'm finding myself (surprisingly) in agreement with PT6A (on one point). We need basically a new Mk2 Escort.

Turns out you can even get the full leather seats if you want them. Not cooled, though. Regardless, $35K MSRP for a car with all those features is a serious steal. The part that's crazy is how nice they've gotten - not how expensive they are.

Edit: I should ask - how do you like it?

I bought a 2014 Fusion Titanium in Oct 2013 and love it. Granted, I came from 10 previous years of SUV hell but even then I hadn't ridden in many cars that made me think 'I might like to have one' and well the Fusion did.

So the new Cadillac CTS-V is going to start at $83,995. And if you're like me you instantly thought "Jesus Christ that's a poo poo load of money". But, as Autoblog was quick to point out, it's still 10,000+ dollars less than its German rivals. It looks pretty good and has 640hp to boot.

Oh Cadillac, you try so hard

Have you sat in a recent Cadillac or just doing the internet pack mentality of ":hurr: GM"? I can't see how anybody thinks it's worse or if not at least on par with offerings of BMW or Lexus (I don't name Mercedes because I haven't been in one recently). Lexus, as mentioned above, looks just like the Corolla or equivalent Toyota interior/dash and most BMWs are so plain and boring with subjectively worse materials vs Cadillac.


Nothing has felt cheap when I've been in the ATS, CTS, or ELR recently. :shrug:

i was completely unimpressed with the ATS i test drove in 2013

The wiki page isn't terrible. It's organized by bore size, but you can generally classify them by iron or aluminum block.

All LSx (as well as the LT1 and LT4 from the C7 Corvette) engines are aluminum block, and performance oriented, while an Lxx designation can mean almost anything from a 4.8L iron/iron truck engine, to the aluminum 6.2L L99 that is in automatic-transmission Camaro SSes.

LS1, LS6, LS2, LS3, LS7, LS9, LSA, LT1, LT4 are the really good ones, but there are a few gems in the truck world, particularly the L92, which is a 6.2L, 403hp all-aluminum engine found in Escalades, GMC Denalis, and Hummers.

Nobody cares about the LS4, because it was a stupid idea. :v:
