Bring back Aussie built and then Legacy Brands can excuse their exorbitant prices, dodgy long term reliability and nasty cheap interiors, made here I will always pay for first. But until then would sooner give that Chinese brand that basically sells us knock-down Russian GAZ utes here over giving companies like GM, Ford or VW another cent. Don't care about the _rules for who we hate but not for US_ world order at stake, nor the bagdad bob tier narrative spin they use to justify it.

    I appreciate that its a big old ute, and 480nm isnt a heap given its size/weight, but its funny hearing paul say “480nm isnt all that much”. 480nm in a ute about 10 years ago was unbelievable. The hilux from 2005-2015 only had 340 odd nm’s. The tunes they had in utes in the mid 2000’s were super mild compared to where theyre at now.

    • @DW-10
      @DW-10 5 місяців тому +3

      I think the point is not 480 vs 500. More like 480Nm in a XXkg vehicle with material turbo lag vs 500Nm in a Xkg vehicle with good turbo response. Given power is a factor of rpm and torque and there is a greater disparity in kw than there is in Nm output, either it has a much lower rpm ceiling or the torque curve falls off relatively quickly at higher rpm. So a laggy, peaky torque delivery.......never going to feel "fast".

    The good thing about GWM is that they have been very receptive to feedback about their vehicles. I’m sure those refinement issues you identified will be addressed quickly via a software upgrade. I don’t understand why people are so concerned with resale. If you are using it as a work vehicle it will be written off on tax and owe you nothing. And in terms of what it will be like in 10 years, every non premium brand, including Toyota, say the life of a vehicle is only 7 years.

    I was extremly happy with the GWM Ute Cannon for 3 years, I've done numerous long trips and got traded in with over 65,000 km. But, it's a ute and for that it is great. I am a bit disappointed with the Alpha. I was hoping for a btter ride, but actually when test driving it this one feels harder than the regular ute. WTF happended to the coil spring set up in the back? Also, the 8 speed ZF seemed to be better than the 9 speed auto. And no rear window control button by the driver side? If I want a ute with a lucury interiro like the Alpha offers, I also expect the luxury ride, otherwise, what is the point?

      100k ridiculous and they love them. The world at large has absolutely no idea about repetition engineering and manufacturing with robots & machining centres and how quick this is achieved. A possibly pathetic example is the manufacturing time for a 50 mm tow ball, in the 1970s 60 seconds., Japanese engineers x3 would hop out of the taxi from the airport with their temp gauges and micrometers an verniers to learn. The owner had in one shed 50 x $250k machines 50/4 = $ 12.5 mill in one shed of high-speed repetition manufacturing in progress . Imagine how fast and cheap manufacturing is today 2024 so how can it be honestly priced at $100k ?

    A couple of years ago, Australia had a problem with China, so they stopped buying a lot of stuff from Australia. It affected the Australian economy. So if Australia were at odds with China again in the future, might they then refuse to supply Australia the parts needed, for maintenance and repairs of these vehicles they are flooding the market with?.

The quality of the materials used in the car...because all car companies say we are the best but use and the passage of years are the true standard for use

      It has a Borg Warner torque on demand 2 speed transfer case. EVERY drive mode except eco has 5-50 percent of torque going to the front depending on conditions.
      When you start the car it is in normal mode which is AWD.
      Cross country expert mode locks the clutch pack in the transfer case (4h), 4l has a gear reduction and locks the clutch pack in the transfer case.

    You say more than once that the throttle needs recalibration because of lag off the mark but this assumes the lag is a calibration issue not a hardware issue. It may well be that the turbo needs time to spool in which case, no amount of calibration of the throttle is going to fix that.
