    Even the guy in the advertisement is scratching his head.

    Fiat buying Chrysler was the last nail in the coffin.

    Fairly interesting to watch, its more production line related than car related specifically:


    Very interesting to hear that it really is like playing Infinifactory or Factorio, just with bigger consequences.

    No no no I was saying that that godawful creation that I replied to looked like what would happen when an r32 got modified by mansory. I then showed a picture of a REAL Mansory to show why it does.

    Ah, ok. I didn't realize that. Anyways, why would anyone do that to a car?

    Because some people have money to burn and no taste. But still, what was wrong with a stock panamera?

    I have a problem. The air intake lever (see image) in my car is jammed. I removed some panels and tried pulling the cable connected to it, but something is jammed down there.

    (image from internet because my own interior is partly disassembled right now)
    What could be the cause? Should I continue digging through interior panels, removing the dashboard as well or should I remove the air intake cover on the outside and look there?

    Well, they might be next on the chopping block if they decide to kill off one of their cars again (with the 2 they have).

    Also, when I meant "be next on the chopping block", it's because there was a brand under FCA that has already met that fate...... Lancia was that brand.

    Yes.

    Lancia before it died had only 1 car BTW. That's fucking pathetic (especially for a beloved brand like Lancia).

    I guess Lancia is better dead than selling crap rebadged cars under the brand name that have no relation to what the brand stood for, or what made them good.

    Lancia was already writing their death sentence anyways when they killed off their second-to-last vehicle.

    Also, Mercedes-Benz is reviving the B-Class to compete against the Active Tourer.

    Nevermind, seems like I found the problem.
    It was never cancelled in the first place.
