I'm well aware that mainstream American sheep like automatics. Good for them.
IPD, as a guy seemingly trying to be different from the norm in every aspect, your love for automatics is confusing.

The 'breakthrough' Bronco will be electric, so Carlos is gonna get his way by default.
AOC and her like will ensure we have no gas-powered vehicles pretty quick.
Vote wisely...
Edit:
Dave, it's a proven fact Purple People prefer automatics.
It's not about "apart from the norm". This has everything to do with technology. Rowing gears is the automotive equivalent of renting VHS from blockbuster. Might have been great bitd. Sure as hell isn't the best or most efficient today. I wouldn't call people "sheep" just because they prefer faster shifts, quicker response, better fuel economy, quicker acceleration, etc, etc, etc.Quote:

Automotive progression is happening quickly. It's great to see, lots of awesome vehicles appear to be coming soon.
Jeep is also "promising" a v8; because pantsed.
Nothing wrong with a full electric vehicle. Still don't know that I'd want to go on the back 40 of Moab with one. At least I can still pour dino juice in my Vx if I run dry--30 miles from the closest plug station.
Though I suppose the ghetto rig solution would be to carry a generator on the trails, just in case. :p
Yea, but we all know 99.9% of both jeep and bronco owners closest call with a trail is a pothole.
It's travelling in substantial snow that has me looking at this segment. It's funny though, watching the forums and noting the number of idiots that use 4wd any time it snows... My Jeep in 2wd is 13x more capable than my Mazda6.Quote:

I wouldn't know what it's like to "use 4wd any time it snows"....as I don't buy crappy part-time 4wd vehicles. True 4wd or go home.
I haven't owned a 4WD or AWD vehicle since my TSI. I get around perfectly fine with winter treads and sometimes even just all seasons.
