Next car

[rdss]

The new GMC Canyon looks like a mini me Sierra. lol

On it's own I didn't see it but side by side I do, I'll definately be trying all of them out and probably the Tacoma and Frontier just for sh!ts and giggles. I will probably end up with another GM in the driveway though, one foreign car at a time for this red blooded American.

Why would you move to Nebraska I moved up here from sfl and I'm finding anyway I can to get back to sfl

I currently live in MO. I moved here from the east coast. I got tired of the influx of people and traffic. I much prefer the Midwest, especially the more rural states like SD, ND, WY, and NE.

If a Dart SRT4 comes out in the next 3-4 years, that's probably what I'll get as a new daily.... Otherwise I'll just keep the Sonic as a winter car and get a V6 Camaro as a daily summer car

V6 camaro would not be bad. I'm kinda waiting to see how the 4 cylinder mustangs turn out

4cyl in American Muscle, Ohh the blasphemy.

I agree with that but it's 300+ hp

 

[SuperFudd]

If my car buying history is an indication, perhaps a 2033 Sonic.

 

[Swordsmith]

A 2016 turbo diesel Sonic hatchback.

I will be well over 100k miles by then and hopefully that car will exist.

Even better would be a volt powertrain Sonic at Cruze price range. I am not holding my breath though.

 

[$ub$onic]

Diesel sonic for the win!

Wouldn't want n/a diesel, though.

Actually my brother in law has/had whatever the heck he is doing with it, a n/a 6i Mercedes diesel. It's not to bad. My turbo i5 will out run it but it still gets good mpg

Good thing they are pony cars.


It would be a shame if Gm ever put a 4 cylinder in say a Camaro...

Or Ford to put one in a Mustang....

It would be almost as bad as GM putting a 6 cylinder in a Corvette...

 

[ahtoxa]

Oh yeah, they get great mpg. They've just been very slow historically speaking.

In this day and age, it would be hard to sell a slow new car to the market.

Are we talking about diesel or 4 banger car ?

 

[ahtoxa]

Diesel. N/A diesels.

 

[$ub$onic]

Diesel. N/A diesels.

Ok,

Ya I agree. They are slower.

Friend of ours has a n/a 7.3 in a 2wd 250. It runs surprisingly well. Not as slow as you would think also avg 16-18 mpg.

But I'll take a turbo diesel any day of the week

Tripping down memory lane. So cool and so true.

I have fostered a rumor that Chevy will introduce a 5.3L slim bodied Corvette weighing in at 3000lbs or less after January 1, 2016 to meet carbon footprint rules that become law on that date. If that happens, I will be hard pressed to not jump.

that would be a blast laborsmith. I really wish they'd remake the Fiero. they don't even need to make it modern, just exactly as it was.

 

[laborsmith]

Fiero in its final iteration: :banana::banana:

I do have a partiality to RWD six-bangers.

Space frame technology. When I saw the C7 frame at the Detroit auto show that thought popped into my mind.

I wouldn't mind seeing a modern version of it. Like a 4 banger turbo option or a high power n/a v6 with a proper sport gear box. Carbon fiber body, I think it would be fun
