I think the Civic Hatchback sits in a grey area. I only cared about this when people on the internet started saying “it’s not a hatchback, it’s a liftback” and many on the examples given in articles that talk of the distinction site the Monza and RX 7 as liftback. I think it’s because of the 2nd spoiler that houses…

From working on a 360 magnum and the hemi in my team I agree.  The engines are lasted out differently enough that the LA based viper engine might be easier to work on than the hemi in my 06 ram, I can say I would rather change the spark plugs on this at the least

Either every chance they got, or once and it scared the crap out of them so they put it up for sale.

Honestly this could be a more significant innovation than it initially sounds. With the toe out my autocross car has it is noticably harder to push around the shop than it was with the wheels at straight ahead and toe out does effect tire wear. A couple mph in the straights without a trade-off in handling is one…

I think a naturally aspirated vs turbocharged vehicle would also appeal to different people. The BRZ had a niche with people who want handling, fun to drive and throttle response, the Supra is more of a grand touring sports car that is easy to go fast in.  With a partner I can see both cars making sense, or not.  I…

I tend to agree on this. I have no doubt you can make lots of power with Ford’s new pushrod V8 but I think after the hype dies down people will go back to the coyote and voodoo V8.  If they had a version with an aluminum block and lightweight internals we might be into something but right now it looks like a low…

Not a fan of these but a 4x4 where everything seems to run and has a straight body with no major dents seems to bottom out in this range where I live. Pretty easy NP for me.

So the fast and furious franchise is formulaic and derivative?  I'm shocked, absolutely in disbelief.  And I thought the awards snubs were because of the liberal anti car agenda in Hollywood.  I don't know what to believe anymore.  

I would extend it to all personalized license plates except the occasional Simpsons reference

“...he was running in this thing with an engineer in the right seat, not a proper rally co-driver who is used to calling stage notes.”

Idk, since it’s an internet comments section if it doesn’t fit one users specific and atypical needs it is garbage and noone should have one

I think EV makers have found that consumers perceive electric cars as boring but in a contradictory fashion flock to crossovers that are boring and indistinguishable. Until the perception is closer to reality I think many of the commercially successful electric cars will have to deliver near supercar acceleration.…

The part of me that reads the site and is sad to see the number of posts go down agrees but the part of me that had gone through the, (blank) just left and we can’t hire anyone else so you now need to do two people’s jobs says they should keep on doing what they do and let management figure it out.  Honestly I have…

Its good for a laugh every time I think about it and it has happened more than once. I have a hard time thinking of a better example of having enough knowledge to be dangerous but still not knowing what they are talking about.  I have also had someone try to to tell me I had a 1939, I can't remember his reasoning and…

The old body style is a classic but the new one does continue to be recognizable.

Fair enough, and I do agree that most of the time the mess up the asthetics, I can name a few that helped but more often than not it is bad news. It seems like the roofline and windshield are what clashes with the facelift most to me. It amazes me that people don’t stop buying them in many cases, like the 2006ish…

“That's not a facelift, that's a redesign"

83 to 84 refresh of the Dodge Diplomat... my bad, it’s a redesign

Also around the same time the Dodge 2006 facelift/refresh that started as a facelift and supposedly was a redesign because they changed the front suspension too but used the same cab, bed and most of the other components.

I don’t know if the asthetics are a reason for the showing sales as much as once something isn’t new it starts to fall out of the public consciousness. Having something that looks new to give to marketing can help keep interest in the car but I do agree that usually the cheap redesigns usually make the car look worse.…
