Not bad.  Different courses for different horses.  It couldn't quit pull it off at Willow Springs, even with 100+ more bhp.

They really just stuck a skinny tablet up there.

How does android auto and CarPlay work with portrait shaped screens?

I dunno about CarPlay, but you can run Android Auto as an app on the phone, and it works just fine in portrait there.

12,000 RPM

Portrait def makes more sense for infotainment... navigation in particular

Just not like this. They might as well have hung it from the rear view mirror.

That screen is awful.

I'm guessing the 3.0TT is the same one used on the Continental?  I thought that was going to be a Lincoln exclusive engine.

I dunno I think the screen mostly just looks weird because we're not used to portrait infotainment. :huh:

No, I think we have all been inoculated through Tesla. It's the portrait infotainment combined with the stuck on tablet look we were just getting used to..

AA can't scale its output... Doubt it will work in landscape

The Giulia has an extra wide display - Carplay can scale and use the screen space, AA can't so I get a giant AA logo on the right 1/4 of the screen

I had a '92 Explorer. Now there was a ride. It lasted into the 180k range. It was comfortable and a tank.

This? Yuck.

The one thing I remember about old Explorers is they felt like they were made of plastic

No matter the age or condition they always seemed to creak and groan. Really weird
