You’re right that they sell them over there (In manual diesel versions too) and there is a market, I just don’t agree that they would sell like crazy even if fuel and taxes were cheaper. Wagons can do everything an SUV can do except offroading. Offroading isn’t all that big in Europe. That coupled with a wagons…
I doubt it. The “go big or go home” attitude about vehicles isn’t the same in Europe as it is in the U.S.
“But Europe won’t be so unlucky. Ford UK boss Andy Barratt told Autocar that the company won’t bring ST-badged SUVs to Europe because of demand the fact that Europeans are better at acknowledging what they actually need and aren’t socially guided lemmings with no interest in driving. Also, fuel prices.”
8th Gen Civic. Cheap, Reliable, and still fun to drive. Also empagaaas (M.P.G’s)
Nice catch. I couldint put my finger on it but something seemed weird to me when I looked at these shots. After reading your comment I realized that was it.
Good read!
I bet he took a hit from a bong or something. A Canadian snow boarder was stripped of his Olympic Gold Medal for smoking weed once and it took no time at all for that to be overturned. They used the same defense as you are mentioning. It wasn’t enhancing his ability to perform so I don’t know where NASCAR’s angle is…
I’m sure they can look the other way if they wanted...last I looked, cheating isn’t a “Good Christian value” either and...well...Trump...
Because media....
Pretty sure FIA approved cages don’t do this during a crash....
She averages around the 20-22MPG mark. I on the other hand would be lucky to get 16MPG. That damn 2.7's torque is fun to play with off the line. The roads in my area are pretty good so fingers crossed the wheels stay true.
I feel a big reason why these things exist is because people like my wife and her sister and all their friends think SUV’s look better than a comparable wagon. They need their strollers to fit in easily while cramming in a bunch of groceries at the supermarket all while looking good “to them”. As a relatively new…
Glad you wrote this, I had a friend loose his brother to someone who lost control of their vehicle swerving to avoid a damn raccoon.
Seems about right
In southern Ontario I find most tires I see to have decent tread. It’s probably because the majority of people run summers/all seasons for spring, summer and fall while running winters the other 6 gawd damn months of the year. I was lucky enough to go to Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale a few years back and wow, it…
Yes!
Good Question...if only we had something to compare what is happening in the US with ICE to....historically.....wait a minute
“As long as you’re not just standing there when the light changes”
Wait a minute lets not glance over how much of a death trap this thing would be in any sort of front/side impact collision. Then there’s rollover....yey...! This thing would be great as a little farm truck or a bushmasters go to tool. That’s it though. I feel you could get in a “head on” with a large dog and loose in…
