Well, $3 a gallon seems to have shaken the American Car Manufacturers – Detroit seems to be having a hard time of it at the moment as they can’t sell the gas-guzzlers. Maybe they are starting to wake up?
not judging by tv adverts, or cars on the road. lots of v6 or v8 muscle.
As a mate of mine, now living in the US said “no substitute for cubic capacity”.
Environmentally unfriendly but great sound!
If he was a native it would have been “no substitute for cubic inches’. Say 454?
True, there’s nothing like a V8. It’s just the sub-20mpg.
The wife noted that NYC cabs ‘shift’. So they bloody should: even with a slushbox and a heavy body, a minimum of 190BHP & 260 ft/lb with a loon at the contorls should move.
