Can they put the 2.7 in transversely where the 2.0 currently sits? I'm thinking XT4 here.

A subtle flush one. That modern one doesn't work. The car needs to have a more fuselage style and can't have the flat face wheel opening.

They have CNBC on here at work and they keep talking about how great of a negotiator Trump was and how we avoided the tariffs. Easy to "avoid" tariffs when the solution to them was already agreed to 3 months ago.

After Nissan having a heavy hand in helping to scuttle the potential merger between Renault and FCA, Renault is getting payback by helping to block corporate reforms Nissan is attempting to put in place after the arrest of Carlos Ghosn and poor financial performance by the company. Nissan and Renault are fighting because Nissan abstained from the vote on whether to merge, and following that, the French government did as well. Without the cooperation of the French government, FCA pulled out of the deal. Renault holds 43.4 percent of Nissan and is upset with the representation they would have on the board and committees under the current plans. The French company says that their abstention from voting is not final and can change pending changes to the proposals. Meanwhile, rumors say that FCA and Renault are still looking for ways to salvage the merger while Nissan is pressuring Renault to reduce their holdings in Nissan. Nissan has been seeking more autonomy from Renault ever since the Ghosn scandals. View full article

You're supposed to pick a favorite color of the car I posted, not the mustang.
-
I think you done messed up @Robert Hall
-
Eh... the G80 doesn't do it for me, but the G90 does..just not as much as the K900 The Korean version of the G90 is better
-
I get to post the CT6 in black twice today! Yay!
-
*shrug* I think the K900 commands attention when seen in the steel.
-
Something is up because those should not be the same part number. I did some more research @Paolino and yes you can swap it without an ECU change. It looks like it would cost $600 to $800 to do.
-
I know really? Trump faking some news? It had me like...
-
Exactly. I think it requires an ECU swap. At that point you're better off paying slightly more for a '16.
-
I don't think it is possible.
-
I"m not saying they have the same presence as the '72... only that they have the best you'll get in 2019.
-
On the Cadillac or the Kia?
-
My kinda car. Only the CT6 and the K900 (oddly) get this kind of image of presence in my eyes in modern cars.
-
Happy Pride! ?️? My song for the season.

A Rubicon even... someone spent $$$

The tariffs that Trump had threatened to impose on Mexico starting June 10th will not be going on to effect. Trump tweeted out that Mexico had made concessions to deploy their newly formed Nation Guard to their own southern border and that it only took two days for Mexico to bend to Trump's demands. This is false. The truth, according to a report in the New York Times is that Mexico had already agreed to do that back in March 2019 during secret talks between the (at the time) Director of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and the Mexican Secretary of Interior Olga Sanchez. Further, Trump claimed a victory via his tariff efforts saying that he had reached an agreement that Mexico would hold more asylum-seekers on the Mexican side of the border while the U.S. processes their cases. The timing of this is also false. The agreement was already reached at the same meeting in March. Where Trump failed was in getting Mexico to accept a "Safe Third Country" treaty that would have given the U.S. the ability to reject asylum seekers if they had not first sought asylum in Mexico. In opposition to the tariffs was many Senators from Trump's own party, including the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who said, "There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure". Many in the GOP were whispering that the Senate was going to pass a resolution disapproving of the tariffs, causing embarrassment for Trump and making him look weak. Most likely that whispering got to Trump himself and so then he laid claim to the previously agreed "concessions" from Mexico in order to save face and drop the tariff while claiming victory. Many business leaders too were calling for relief from the tariffs, the auto industry would have been hit especially hard with a significant number of components passing over the border multiple times. Below is a list of vehicles that are currently assembled in Mexico for U.S. consumption: Audi Q5 BMW 3-series Chevrolet Blazer Chevrolet Cruze Chevrolet Equinox Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Chevrolet Trax Dodge Journey Fiat 500 Ford Fusion Ford Transit Connect GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab GMC Terrain (certain models) Honda Fit Honda HR-V Hyundai Accent Infiniti QX50 Jeep Compass Kia Forte Kia Rio Lincoln MKZ Mazda 3 Mercedes-Benz A-class Nissan Frontier (certain models) Nissan Kicks Nissan Sentra Nissan Versa Nissan Versa Note Nissan NV200 Cargo Ram 1500 Regular Cab Ram 2500/3500/4500/5500 Ram ProMaster Toyota Tacoma Toyota Yaris Volkswagen Beetle Volkswagen Golf Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Volkswagen Jetta Volkswagen Tiguan View full article
