Expand err.. yeah .. the more powerful the engine is, the higher the requirement of tolerance level as well as a need to rebuild the engine if its build with cutting corners instead of cutting edge technology.

Carbon82 Moderator May 14, 2020 Author Share May 14, 2020 Just like how the COVID-19 is upsetting the global economy now, the shift to EV is going to reset the whole automotive industry. Automobile manufacturers are forced to forgo what they were once famous for: i-VTEC, Dual VVTi, Renesis Rotary, TwinAir, Valvetronic, Twin-Charged, EcoBoost, Skyactiv, MIVEC, etc. Everyone starts from ground zero once again, just like writing on a blanket piece of paper, using something with no sound and characteristics linked to their past... ... Oh yah, no gearbox will be needed too, so the debate about DSG, CVT, Torque converter or even stick shift can finally be put to rest. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturers don't start from ground up. Porsche starts from 919 Spyder. Then it moves to Panny e-hybrid. Now, Taycan. With the move to EV, a lot of WS will be closed. That's the biggest upheaval. Singaporean will love EV as it is troublefree. On the other hand, it lack emotion. Taycan is not a sports car just like Panny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the brand? a C180 C class is barely making the brand a justice and now...C160? When buying a car, one must factor in the 2-3rd year drivability. Some age well but some do not. Expand Pay Merc price for Toyota specs (maybe worse if factor in reliability). The shiny badge is very important to some ppl. ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
