The rumors may be true, an undisclosed source at FCA said it decided to postpone the heavily anticipated Grand Wagoneer. This does not come as a huge surprise since the rumor has been circulating for about a month now and FCA is currently $7 billion in debt. No word on how long the six-figure luxury SUV will be delayed but we will be sure to keep you posted.
I am going to make a bold statement and say I couldn’t care less about The Fate of The Furious but the wide-body Challenger found in the trailer intrigued me. There have been plenty of rumors about the wide-body Challenger ADR and the eighth edition of the franchise may help clarify some questions.
Aston Martin has decided to do a limited run of the DB4 GT. They will be making 25 of the 1959 classic at their Aston Martin Works facility in Newport Pagnell. The cars will be powered by 3.7-liter straight-six cylinder cranking out 350-hp. No word on how much the car will cost but we can confidently say it will be north of a million dollars.
