lol, anyone got that gif of the chevy truck front end getting increasingly taller each year?

>>28479149 (OP)
It was over The minute car companies put performance badges on SUVs and CuckOvers.
I think BMW said sales increased 20% by just slapping a M badge on a SUV.

Why tf do new cars come with gigantic wheels.

>>28479149 (OP)
Just when it seems Nissan is getting their act together, they do shit like this.

If they just made a Jimny sized vehicle without a CVT I would buy it. Gotta be around $28K too. FU, Nissan. I guess I’ll go buy some other small jap 4x4 thing on the used car market.

>>28479198
>>28479312
You retards say this as the populous continues to buy more trucks, suvs and cuvs over sedans.

>Its a bad thing to sell cars popular with npcs and non sports car enjoyers so they can fund and develop the actual fun cars
If it were up to /o/ Porsche would have been bankrupt because a Porsche SUV or Sedan would be blasphemy of the highest order.

>>28479249
>Why tf do new cars come with gigantic wheels.
Either go spend like $800 on a MSpaint Pro max+ license or open free photoshop and resize the wheels to be like 15" wheels. It will look worse. 22" wheels aren't really absurd anymore.

The real absurdity is Nissan dedicated their nismo team to not work on any performance car (because the GTR is done, and Z is a flop) but to work on a 3.5 ton SUV.
>MOST POWERFUL EVER

And its still like 250hp less than current GM offerings, jeep offerings, and Ford barely behind them: the ecoboost V6 makes 400 horsepower with like 1500 fewer pounds. And I get it, there are wealthy white suburban guys flush with new money almost impulse purchasing these types of vehicles, but its nonsense to think any one of those typical buyers would even consider a nissan to fill that role.

What do you call this type of vehicle? Musclecruiser is a type of motorcycle, muscle trucks are almost a thing, hot hatches are a category along with power wagons I so dearly miss. Are these vehicles called... Sport haulers? muscle vans? Mall sprinters?

>>28479249
Big cars need big wheels. They're heavier so they need bigger brakes and they've gotten so tall that they need bigger wheels to look proportional. If you just look at it and didn't know how big it was, the wheels don't look comically large like if you put 22s on a Sentra.

>>28479149 (OP)
Not really feeling the Nismo. I prefer the Warrior version, we get here in Australia.

I mean its just supposed to compete with the escalade V lol. It makes perfect sense to me.

Nissan should take the VR35 from this and put it in the Z

>>28479876
weebs delusional lmao
escalade v costs twice as much and has like 300 more hp

>>28480687
Escalade is gm quality though. I'd choose the Patrol.

>>28482250
Did you just allege nissan quality is significantly better than GM?

>>28482250
you'd choose the nissan because you can't afford a 160k escalade

>>28479407
see
>>28479814

>>28479372
And by slapping fake performance badges on SUV, sales increase dramatically.

>>28482754
Yes, yes I did. But not all Nissans, the premium ones, like the GT-R, the Z and the Patrol

>>28482780
I wouldn't want an Escalade. No off road capability.

>>28483971
And here's the rear view.

>>28479149 (OP)
>blatantly ripping off Hyudnai's N performance color scheme
>on a fat honking bloated piece of shit
someone take Nissan behind the barn and put it out of its misery already

>>28483979
No Hundy's keeping up with a Patrol across the desert.

>>28479149 (OP)
Lol

Making cars that sell is the way you are able to provide a boutique product that doesn't.

>>28479149 (OP)
They still sell the super safari which is arguably better

>>28479149 (OP)
why does it look like an edgy gamer pc case on wheels?

>>28482250
I’m convinced 90% of /o/ hasn’t driven an American car in thirty years
I’ve put more money into Nissans and Subarus than I ever did into my Chevy.
Chrysler is the only problem, and even then it was better than where it was competing, the bottom spec Japanese brands like Mitsubishi and Suzuki, the bottom spec European brands like Fiat.

>>28486355
Recently watched this interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNnKCEnwp6c
Old GM died when they changed to gm. I love the classics but I wouldn't touch a modern one.

>>28479149 (OP)
Why does the armada nismo have 35 less horsepower?

>>28486355
>Chrysler is the only problem, and even then it was better than where it was competing, the bottom spec Japanese brands like Mitsubishi
half the fucking lineup was already mitsubishis
the caliber, journey, old 200, sebring vert and avenger were all GS/JS platform cars making them more closely related to a Lancer Evo X than any actual Chrysler product

>>28486409
Sort of exactly my point
We have one bottom spec American manufacturer but somehow ford and GM get wrapped up in it
It’s like if guys only had experience with fucking Isuzu and that’s what they thought about Toyota

>>28486591
>gm can sell literal bottom tier korean (daewoo) and chinese (saic) cars and occasionally an isuzu pickup or cabover
>ford only sells its good cars overseas and decontents and cheapifies them while simultaneously raising the price for america
>chrysler uses proven platforms and engines from japanese and italian makers that have won multiple world rally championships and sells well-equipped, american-made cars with the most horsepower in their class at reasonable prices with notoriously generous financing

>bottom spec

>>28479407
>we'll paint the calipers red and upsell the sport trim
Are the """big brakes""" in the room with us right now?

>>28479149 (OP)
Battering ram

>>28486409
Correct, my Cali SRT4's engine is very similar to the EVO X engine, a lot of parts from the EVO fit on my engine (and also chassis stuff).

>>28486630
that's the rear wheel and you know just as well as any of us that rear brakes are always smaller than front brakes except on 911s

>>28486616
555-comeonnow

>>28482754
Nissan is Japanese. Of course it's better than GM. The Japanese apply skill and pride to all of their craftsmanship. Something American companies will never understand. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Mazda are all the quality leaders because of the care and skill of their designs and manufacturing processes. The Japanese OEMs do not have recalls like the American OEMs.

>>28486377
Complying with regulations or Nissan is lying to the three letter agencies.

>>28486775
NTA but don't manufacturers typically fudge HP and torque ratings on cars like these? GM used to do the same thing with models like the corvette iirc

>>28486783
It's too easy to check now with quality dynos being available to pretty much anyone. There are some that underrate but, even then, their numbers line up with wheel HP often.

>cuckstralia
Lmao that car is defectable from factory and can't even leave first gear on 99% of this nanny state's roads

>>28486783
car companies lied or misled on horsepower numbers for a very long time or cherry picked the best engines off the assembly line. but that mostly stopped in the 80's because it's easy to test
