  1. So whay aren't the new turbo I4s getting both port and direct injection to help keep the valves clean? The 2.7L and 3.5L V6s both got it in the past few years so why aren't they adding it to the smaller motors too? Or is that issue so small now it's not really worth addressing?
  2. OBX is the abbreviation for Outer Banks so maybe they'll use that.
  3. Does anyone know where one could find information on current early bird lease termination programs being offered currently? My '12 Escape lease is up on 7/16 and the most recent program in this area only let you turn yours in 3 months early if it was up between 4/1 and 6/30 so I missed the boat on that one. I assume these are regional so I'm hoping our region gets another one that I can take advantage of.
  4. All I see are 5 Corvettes in that picture PREMiERdrum.
  5. Note to HondAcura, this is how you do LED headlights so they don't look stupid when they are turned off.
  6. Add GMC's square-like wheel openings to that thing and you'll have a uni-brow effect going on. Not good.
  7. I have to disagree with that silvrsvt. The JBL system in my dad's '96 Sable is still to this day one of the best I've heard in a car. It still works to this day while my niece drives it around. This announcement would make me consider moving up to a Lincoln. First they need to get something with 3 rows that fits in my garage or doesn't serve as a hearse though. Oh, and by next June when my current lease is up.
  8. Let's not forget the 26 recalls on the 2001 Honda Civic. I think it was originally something like 12 or 13 like the 2001 Escape but it has expanded quite a bit over the years.
  9. Hold on, they give points for the cars having rebates available? Shouldn't it be the other way around so as to benefit the car that's more in demand?
  10. So why is my 2012 Escape not affected? What changed in that last year of the last gen? Never had an issue with floor mats in my '11 Fusion. I don't get why floor mats are so complicated to understand for some people. ***Edit**** Nevermind, found the answer in the Detroit News. The part was updated in late 2010 so likely only some of the MY2011 copies are affected.
  11. How much worse can it get for GM right now? Not the way to showcase your new model! http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2014/02/15/daytona-shootout-pace-car-catches-fire-sprint-unlimited/5523123/
  12. Looks like the Escape and CR-V will be neck and neck for the SUV sales crown again. Nothing else is close as far as I can tell. Honda October 2013 sales
  13. This is the same survey that put Hummers in the doghouse some years ago because owners were complaining of poor gas mileage. Yes, a very useful index indeed. Link
  14. "Most automakers use different platforms, or architectures, for their luxury and mass-market brands, but the MKZ shares its platform and most systems with the Fusion." Someone needs to clue this joker in that Lexus, Acura, Infinity, and Audis all share platforms and systems with their mainstream versions to some extent too. Especially the first three.
  15. I hope large parts of those renderings are wrong like everything they borrowed from the Camaro for starters. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the flagship, the Corvette in this case, supposed to lead the styling parade while the little sisters, the Camaro in this case, borrow some styling elements from it later? This thing looks like the reverse of that logic.
