Electric motors should not need a gearbox. That’s why diesel electric trains came about because the gearbox would have been too big

Even less fun, then...;)
No engine noise, no gear changes, and pretty soon no-need to actually drive either:doh:
Can't wait!:lol:

Went looking at cars with my girlfriend yesterday, found a lovely RX300 that she fell in love with as soon as she drove it. Pick it up on Saturday.
And, it may become usual for electric cars to clock up maybe 500 thousand miles, we're seeing very high mileage hybrid cars already. So I can see manufacturers wanting to do something about 'everlasting' cars, as new sales will suffer otherwise. I think cheapening of major components to limit their durability will happen, along with overpricing and reducing availability of parts over time.Quote:

Is that a Lexus, mate?:)Quote:

Jeep Renegade 80th Anniversary.
The Landy's due to be released later this year, but looks cool. She's not in any hurry though, so will be taking her time to consider all suitable options, but she wants some type of 'Jeep', which looks cute, but also has some 'attitude', lol..
Maybe Adam could rate the Landy or otherwise?:D
Marco.
A lot of Fiat engines etc. in Renegades. Whether that's a good or bad thing these days, I don't know, but I'd sooner that than Renault bits.
Ah, are you saying that there are Renault bits in Landys?
Marco.
No Marco. I'm just not keen on Renaults. I'm sure some have been fine, but they haven't had a great record.Quote:
