What is your daily driver?

[Grey Ghost]

I'm renting a 2020 Camaro SS conv. My first modern sports car in quite some time. I think it has all the bells and whistles. The thing is a beast. Paddle shifters, tiptronic type, auto 10-speed trans. Awesome sound when it starts and you punch it. You have to be VERY quick to shift the trans. with the paddles or stick. Those first few gears makes it redline quickly. Four driving modes - tour, sport, track, something else that I forget. It is hard to see out of with the little windows. But, THAT MOTOR and trans!

Well, you Americans don't consider Dodge/Chrysler/Ford Chevy imports and lots of them are/were made here in Canada.

Ford Edge
Ford Winstar
Lincoln MKX
Chevy Camaro
Dodge Magnum
Dodge Charger
Dodge Challenger
Chrysler 300

Those are just the ones I know right off the top of my head; I am sure there are others.

And Toyota really isn't an import either, since they make them here too. But I still consider a Toyota an import.

To me (and most people) Ford/Chevy/Chrysler(Dodge) are domestic and everything else is an import.

Modern times the waters are very muddy.

But there's a reason the Charger/Challenger/300 say "Designed in Detroit". Because they're all built in Brampton, Ontario, a few miles form where I am sitting right now.

But y'all still call them "American" cars.

[Grey Ghost]

So the next question is; who's brand loyal? I've been a GM person since forever. I've never owned a Dodge, and had one Ford 25 years ago.

I've owned several - Fiat, VW, GM (Chev. Pontiac), BMW, Nissan/Infinity, etc...I live in a small town and the only dealer we have now and have only had for a long time is Ford. I was fairly brand loyal to Chev. until they killed off their small town dealerships. Which I still don't understand why a decade or so ago. I would still most likely be loyal to them, but if I have to travel 25 plus miles to a dealership there are too many others to choose from.

I've had several company trucks over the years. It's a nice perk. Some were such pieces of shit I wouldn't park them in the driveway. It surprised me the company would put their names on such a wreck.

The worst was a Ford Courier. The front end was so bad keeping it between the lines was almost impossible. You'd about have to turn it lock-lock just to keep it going straight. Tow a Miller Big 40 and the front end about came off the ground.

[Stangkiller]

Do tell. I like that Denali. It's getting into Escalade territory but I like it.

It was my first ever brand new car, a late model 2015 Denali with the 6.2 and the 8speed transmission. The torque converter had problems throughout they replaced it at 20k miles but it was still acting up. The A/C failed at 48k miles and that was the final straw for me.

Other failures, leaking/failed radio antenna, failed window regulator, rattle in dash, lots of visits for the torque converter vibrations, awful GM service locally given the price of the truck I would have expected better service throughout.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

I think that 8 speed transmission is a POS. I had mine in at 4000 miles for some torque converter chattering. They’re claiming it was some fluid recall thing and they’re on their third blend. It’s been OK since the fluid change. That was 35,000 ago so maybe.

Didn't GM design the 8 speed and Ford the 10 speed. I heard the story Ford saw what GM was doing and walked away from the deal. Both GM 8 speeds I had, one in the Denali and one in the 17 V, were total pieces of shit. The 8 speed in the Hawk has been great.

My Camaro is an automatic. :(
It just appeared on a dealers lot, and it ticked most of the boxes.
I'd have preferred no sunroof and a manual, but I bought it...thinking the wife could drive it on occasion (she wasn't great with the MN6 in the C5). I think she has driven it twice in the 5 or 6 years I've had it. :lol:

I've already told her that whatever catches my eye next will likely have a manual.

The six speed we owned was her car. She could shift smoother than I could.

One thing I didn't care for was the shift-skip. There was no way to defeat this without some sort of aftermarket thing. It wouldn't engage under hard acceleration but it was hard to avoid at times.

My wife can do it, she was a farm kid.
But she couldn't get over the habit of leaving her foot on the clutch.
"but I'm not touching it!"
It was a point of contention. :lol:

Think that's discomfiting? I had a roommate in college that drove a Valiant, an auto. Right foot? Accelerator. Left foot? Brake. He was from Oklahoma, so I figure maybe that's what they teach them up there.

Aaaarrrrggghhh!

My mom has driven that way her entire life.

I had the dealer install the after market mod in both C5's and never had a problem. Worked flawless all the time :seasix:

I did the CAGS delete and column lock bypass on my C5 immediately.
C5Gen did have some redeeming qualities back in the day.
