General Car Discussion

Kinda hard to take out a full size truck with a midsize sedan.

 

You could technically have a truck vs. truck chase (being chased by trucks in a truck). The outcome of that sort of chase should be interesting...

 

Meet the Ares Panther


641HP V10 and popup headlights. I'll take 2, please.

 

How much?

Also, products from that sort of companies often use buyers as test drivers.

 

Hmmm....

They named their brand after the Greek god of war, I see....

 

Kinda reminds me of the Lamborghini Diablo

 

I have a habit of joking about Lada’s, but I am looking for a car and I found two Lada’s for sale near me (Northeast USA). So tempted... Too bad both are way out of budget.

 

Would it be interesting if the Durango got the Demon treatment?

 

No. The last thing we need is more of these stupid millennial-wagons. The crossover basically killed the fullsize sedan/wagon because people keep buying these shits instead of normal cars, and market forces ensue. They're no more efficient, or even much more spacious, than the cars they've displaced in the market, like the Caprice or Crown Vic. So, the last thing we need is for the Charger, the last true muscle car, to be phased out in favor of a giant SUV. It would happen if they made that thing.

 

I'd rather like a Promaster Rebel. Not kidding.

 

You'd probably get a Abarth Ducato from that (as you are European).

 

As the original Ram Rebel is an offroad vehicle, I'd rather say an extreme version of Dangel 4x4 variant.

 

Do they even sell the Ram Rebel in Europe?

 

There is the RAM Rebel TRX concept which is hellcat powered

and is possibly going into production

 

Wait, I thought that it was the minivan that did that.

 

Doubt it. They still can't compete with the popularity of crossovers.

 

But wasn't the minivan popular when the station wagon's popularity started to decline?

 

Probably, but it wasn't really dominant. For example, coupes, saloons, and hatchbacks (maybe SUVS) were more dominant in '88. In 1988, minivans were still new (and their market was still not as big as other markets during that time).

 

Mmhmm, but over time, minivans became more and more popular. Now they're one of the most popular vehicles on the road today, while modern station wagons can only be found in European regions.

The reason I'd say minivans knocked station wagons out of the picture is because they can perform some of the same functions, like hauling families around, and they have spaces reserved for cargo in the back, which IMO station wagons may have had more room for, but minivans and some other modern vehicles do have that nifty function where the rearmost seats can be folded down.

 

SUVs were also like that.
