Until last year, VW offered a 2.5 L turbo VR6 in China. 295 HP. It's too bad they never brought it to North America.

You can change until your order is placed. At that point, you're locked in.

You are right. It's a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder so there's no way it would have 250 horsepower.

Scout has always indicated the frunk will not be affected by the Harvester. The gas tank will likely go where the batteries are being removed. Removing half of the batteries should leave plenty of room for a gas tank.

Ram has already killed the large battery for the REV.

This is real out of the box thinking. I don't think this has ever been brought up before!

None of the towing numbers are official yet, including the 10,000 lb BEV. It only costs $100 per vehicle to wait until it's official. I believe Scout will gain more sales from having a 500 mile range than they'll lose from having reduced towing. Everyone's needs are different, though.

I believe Scout chose Hempwood because it's eco-friendly and highly sustainable. It's pressed hemp fibers and soy-based adhesives.

Let's drop the politics, please. It turns people off. There are plenty of other places to express ideologies.

Poor wording on my part. I was referring to the solid roof version.

That roof is optional on some ID Buzz models. You're saying they get 50% more range? Is there any documented proof of this? It's hard to believe.

The roof rack shown at CES had satellite internet, not "solar". What are you referring to?

The chances of seeing a VW-sourced diesel in the USA are zero. Too much baggage from Dieselgate. The average American car buyer doesn't want to pay more for diesel and doesn't want to buy DEF.

I think it's about time to close this. The original topic was dumb and it's been all downhill since.

Bronco has rear vents for 2025 (at least the 4-door does).

I heard a rumor that I'm going to wake up with a full head of hair tomorrow, but I don't think that's happening either.

Have you read MT's most recent test of the new tri motor? The rear motors overheated when rock climbing. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2025-rivian-r1t-tri-max-first-test-review/

RAM canceled the huge battery version that was to have a range of 500 miles. The version with a smaller battery will still be made but the RAMcharger will be built first.

Sure. Scout can start over and re-engineer the platform. It will only delay the vehicle by a couple of years. It's a fantastic idea!

The VW EA888 2 liter is a good motor. The biggest issues are a leaky water pump and carbon buildup from direct injection. I don't know anything about the reliability of the 1.5 TSI EVO engine. These are 2 likely candidates and both are made in Mexico.
