I laughed when I saw the massive cup holders next to the shift pad buttons of various indentations. Spill a drink on there… what if the liquid freezes on the buttons. Does the transmission function? Needlessly unconventional. The Odyssey is the worst Honda offender with the gear selections located directly in the midst of the the climate, seat cooling/heating controls below the touchscreen next to the push button start. Have to look for the park and on/off buttons surrounded by every other control

But that’s not to say the Colorado is a new franchise Down Under and, in fact, it’s been around for quite a few years, but it’s probably the 2012-onwards models that have made the most impact.

VIENNA, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – In a paper presented at the 2019 Vienna Motor Symposium (May 16-17), Delphi Technologies will reveal a new 500+ bar GDi system that can reduce particulate emissions by up to 50 percent compared to state-of-the-art 350 bar system without expensive engine design modifications. Reducing the number of exhaust gas particulates, including those smaller than 23 nm, will help manufacturers meet increasingly stringent future global emissions standards.

This is why I bought a used oddball hybrid that was sold and registered in a CARB state to get the extended hybrid warranty.

Don’t be alarmed to find the needle in your transmission temperature gauge creeping toward the 200 degree mark on a 95 or 100 degree day. The unwritten rule of normal transmission operation is that it’s acceptable for them to run 100 degrees over ambient air temperature. Between the 210 to 220 degree mark, we would make monitoring transmission temperature our top priority. Beyond 220 degrees, we would find a place to pull over and let things cool off.

IRVINE, Calif. — U.S. vehicle owners had to pay 6.5 percent more last year versus 2017 to cover "check engine" repair issues, according to the latest CarMD.com Corp.’s 2019 Vehicle Health Index.

In addition, once removed, the air filter’s seal typically is compromised, so attempting to place it back in the air intake housing isn’t advised because the filter won’t seal properly, letting damaging contaminants into the engine.

I’m very interested in this thread just because almost every new gasoline engine is DI. A select few (like Toyota) have gone to a “port/DI” setup because of this issue, but it seems that for many automakers that’s just too costly or complex of a solution.

Greater communications flexibility soon will be within the grasp of some public-safety agencies, as Sonim Technologies started shipping its Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK-2) with a FirstNet Ready Cradlepoint router and announced plans to further integrate satellite and LMR capabilities into the carry-case package later this year.

In late 2018, Nuburu introduced their second product, the 500W AO-500 industrial blue laser. Blue lasers weld copper joints with flexibility, speed, and quality, making them attractive for enhancing productivity for future automobile production.
