Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Stellantis To Pay $300 Million Fine Over Diesel Emissions With civil penalties out of the way for Stellantis, it’s time for the Department of Justice to bring the criminal penalty hammer down over FCA US allegedly cheating diesel emissions standards on certain Ecodiesel-equipped Ram 1500s and Jeep Grand Cherokees....

Exhibit A: The EU Is Trying To Counter US Electrification Rules As Fast As Possible It’s not a secret that the Europeans have been upset with the United States for passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which makes building electric cars and their batteries in North America basically a requirement to be competitive. Fail to do that, the law says, and your cars probably won’t qualify for EV tax credits in America, and could thus become uncompetitive....

The first thing I noticed about Dodge’s electric muscle car is just how big this thing is. It genuinely has its own gravitational pull. Between sheer dimensions and styling proportions, the Charger Daytona SRT EV is so much more imposing than a Challenger in a way that really needs to be seen to believe. Of equal importance, there’s a lot of stuff on this concept that seems near-production. For instance, most concept cars don’t have mirrors....

Think of Heuliez almost like a French Valmet, a contract manufacturer that helped major automakers produce more specialty vehicles. Valmet had the Saab 900 cabriolet, Heuliez had the Opel Tigra, that sort of thing. However, Heuliez made much, much more interesting stuff than what typically rolled out of Valmet. The Citroen CX Break, Citroen XM Break, and Peugeot 604 Limousine all were made by Heuliez, and that’s before we get to the really crazy stuff....

See, auto shows are opportunities for manufacturers to showcase what they can do, which often means bringing out fully-loaded models priced thousands of dollars above the mainline trims of the automotive kingdom. This generally devolves into a pissing match about who can cram the most piano black plastic into a car, which helps absolutely nobody. However, a set of honest hubcaps caught my eye from across the convention center hall and I was drawn to this Rio like a cobra to a clarinet....

First, it’s worth noting that the 914 was the first German car to have power-operated pop-up headlights. Sure, the Opel GT had pop-up (well, really roll over) but those were operated with your own bugling, glistening muscles, via a hand crank. Porsche wasn’t going to make you have to manually crank your lights open, like some sort of filthy animal, so it opted for a pair of electric motors to do the job....

Now, normally, if you’re lost and in an Isar and you saw another Isar pass by, you could be pretty damn sure that you were near an Isar dealership, or the Isar factory, or the breakdown site of a transport truck with at least one other Isar on it. What’s strange about this frankly wonderfully-rendered image is the expression on the dude there. He looks so stiff, like he’s faking everything, and that rictus smile on his face seems to be hiding some sort of nervous secret....

Engine-wise, the new GT3 RS isn’t much of a game-changer. We’re only talking about an extra 15 horsepower (11 kW) over the standard GT3’s 503, achieved mostly through the use of new camshafts. However, this updated engine is mated to Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch gearbox which makes for a manufacturer-quoted zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 3.2 seconds. Top speed is a mere 184 mph (296 km/h) which seems slow at first, right up until you see a Nimitz-class rear wing bolted to the engine cover....

Now, I can’t take credit for discovering this connection; The Mirror ran a story about this, and, even better, the explanation seems to have been in plain sight on the official Paddington website for who knows how long. It’s hardly been hidden, but I find it kind of surprising how little known it seems to be, especially in auto journalism-focused communities like the ones that surround me like the candy shell of a Skittle surrounds whatever the hell is inside a Skittle....

We have four bays and, for the most part, work on four brands. Our shop only has two advisors in the office, so there’s rarely a slow moment. Within our four brands, we see a wide range of cars; anything from brand-new high-performance sports cars to abused four-wheeled appliances that haven’t seen more than a quick lube joint in the last decade will show up in our parking lot.

In Windows 8, this tile screen was displayed on the entire surface, and it seems that it was quite unpopular …. for that reason?
