I think AWD drive is the best drive train needed as this is the most efficient on among them. Power will be sent to wheels that needs it and its being controled by the ECU. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Car Talk / Re: All-new 2021 Acura TLX & Type S Get Serious About Fun by donstefano8(m): 7:01am On Sep 28, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: Acura will now offer a Type-S performance trim on all of their models starting with the TLX Type S. The TLX Type S is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine which produces a stout 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. For me this is a bit disappointing as I was hoping and expecting close to 390Hp , I guess it will be left to the streets to bump that BHP. |

Phones / Lg's Wing 5G Is The Strangest Dual-screen Phone We've Ever Seen Thankfully by donstefano8(m): 6:15pm On Sep 14, 2020 |
LG has, throughout its long history, jumped onto some very unusual bandwagons. In 2011, it tried to cash in on an extremely short-lived 3D smartphone craze with the Optimus 3D/Thrill 4G. Perhaps inspired by Google's ultimately doomed Project Ara, it released one of the world's only modular smartphones -- the G5 -- in 2016. And now, with foldable screens on the rise and dual-display phones making a comeback, LG is trying to turn heads once more with the new Wing 5G. It's about the strangest dual-screen phone we've seen yet, and with a (not yet firm) price of around $1,000, it’s also among the cheapest. Maybe more than anything, though, it’s proof that, yes, Weird LG is back. Here's the idea: When the Wing is closed, it looks like any other big smartphone. Up front, there's a 6.8-inch P-OLED FullVision screen running at 2460x 1080, plus a 32-megapixel pop-up camera. Around back, there's what appears at first glance to be a fairly standard triple camera system: The 64-megapixel camera with an f/1.8 is the main attraction, and it's joined by an f/1.9 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The first hint that something unusual is afoot is the second, 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Exactly why that thing is here only really becomes apparent once you open the phone. Rather than unfolding the Wing as you would with a Galaxy Z Fold 2 or a Surface Duo, you instead flick the main screen around so it sits in landscape orientation. Only then do you see the smaller, 3.9-inch screen beneath it -- this thing runs at 1,240 x 1,080, and is designed to pull double duty. You can use it to run Chrome, Twitter, or Instagram the same way you would on a regular smartphone, all while keeping a YouTube video or Google Maps directions visible on that big main screen. Meanwhile, other specially tuned apps can take over both displays at once -- the Gallery app, for instance, can show pictures in finder detail on the big screen, leaving the smaller one available to show off editing controls or thumbnails of other photos you've taken. And when you're using LG's built-in messaging app, you can spin the whole thing around to see the message thread on the small screen while pecking out a response on the big one. The Wing's strange, secondary ultra-wide camera might be the best example of this both-screens-at-once approach. Once the phone is open and you fire up the camera, the Wing can become an all-in-one camera/gimbal combo, complete with an on-screen joystick for tilt shots and planning. A cluster of stabilizers is built into the Wing to help smooth out your run-and-gun footage, though it's anyone's guess how well they'd compare to a proper, standalone gimbal. (A quick note: The 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor can only be used in gimbal mode since it's actually mounted in the Wing sideways.) And if using a phone like an Osmo doesn't exactly appeal, you can also use the secondary screen to the control the regular cameras, and even record video using the front-facing and rear cameras simultaneously. While the Wing is about as unconventional a phone we've seen this year -- and that's really saying something -- the stuff powering it is considerably more pedestrian. The Wing uses one of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G chipsets, paired here with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. (Unlike, say, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, the Wing also supports microSD cards as large as 2TB.) As the name implies, this is a fully 5G device too, with support for both mmWave and sub-6 networks. Because of that expansive network support, the Wing will be compatible with all of the major US wireless carriers -- Verizon will carry it first this year, followed shortly by AT&T and T-Mobile. There are just a few other things to note here: For one, despite its focus on media creation, the Wing doesn't have a headphone jack. LG says this was a decision made so it could squeeze in all the bits it needed for 5G and that movable display without making the phone too cumbersome to hold. Despite not having held the thing yet, LG seems to have done a solid job on that front -- the Wing is just about as thick as the LG Velvet. And speaking of that flick-open display mechanism, the company says the back of the main screen is coated in thermoplastic polyoxymethylene to keep it from scratching the small screen while in motion, and that the whole package has been tested to last for more than 200,000 swivels. I cannot give this company enough credit for its sheer goddamned temerity, because the Wing is -- at first glance -- an absolutely ridiculous concept brought to life. Of course, "ridiculous" was sort of the whole point. The Wing was developed as part of LG's Explorer project, an in-house initiative meant to help foster smartphone design innovation now that the industry is keen to move on from glass-and-metal slabs. While some old-school phone nerds (myself included) may see a resemblance between this thing and LG's mobile-TV-focused VX9400, the company says it designed the Wing as a response to what it learned about dual screens from devices like the V60 ThinQ. Turns out, people like the flexibility of having two screens, but not to the point where they'd necessarily want to carry a dual-screen case around or invest in a phone that's too different from what they're used to. With that in mind, the Wing might actually be a great device. By design, it offers a proper, standard smartphone experience, plus some extra flexibility when you really need it. There are, of course, lingering questions about app support and overall ease of use, but we'll hopefully answer those questions once we get to test one. Maybe the most important thing about the Explorer initiative is that it won't live or die based on the Wing's sales. LG says it will remain committed to the project even if the Wing winds up being a total market dud, which -- let's face it -- is a distinct possibility. Perhaps the Wing will languish on store shelves; perhaps people will buy it in droves. No one can say for sure right now, but if LG really does stick to its word and pushes the industry in new and interesting directions, well, that's a win for all of us. 1 Like

Car Talk / Sneek Peek On The 2021 Genesis G70 Looks. by donstefano8(m): 8:55am On Sep 09, 2020 |
[color=#000099][/color]The first images of the facelifted 2021 Genesis G70 have been unveiled, showcasing a striking new look fitting of the brand’s current design language. Genesis has also overhauled the rear fascia of the 2021 G70 with the fitment of its new Quad Lamp taillights that have been inspired by the soaring wings from the Genesis logo. The sedan also includes a body-colored diffuser as well as oval exhaust tips. Moving to the interior and we find an enlarged 10.25-inch infotainment system that includes an exclusive Genesis UI design and supports over-the-air wireless updates as well as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Valet mode. Genesis has also positioned the wireless charging pad horizontally rather than vertically. Besides these changes, everything else seems the same. “The new Genesis G70 will engage customers with its dynamic design and the latest innovations in safety and luxury,” a Genesis spokesperson said in a statement. “We are thrilled to reveal more detailed specifications next month.” Powertrain details about the facelifted G70 remain under wraps but it is understood the entry-level 2.0-liter four-cylinder will be replaced by a new turbocharged 2.5-liter producing 290 hp and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. The flagship engine will likely still take the form of a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 365 hp and 376 lb-ft (510 Nm). Unfortunately, the manual gearbox will be dropped from the range. Hopefully this will be able to make it to the African shores.
