That is fucking hideous.

So half-assed it’s hilarious. No one who buys a Pathfinder these days takes it off-road.

~20k units/year isn’t enough to justify the investment for things like crash testing (which is one of the more expensive parts of developing a new model). Plus, the 10G coupe was clearly an afterthought.

And...? The precedent is still there. A FWD 2/3-door liftback simply isn’t happening in today’s market. Why do you think they stopped building Civic coupes?

Are Caterham owners called Caterhamsters?

That’s sad.

Good. Horrible to drive and not intrinsically better than the Sonic they’re based on, to say nothing about the issues with the 1.4L turbo.

No terrible looking, by crossover standards.

It’s a Failblazer. It will fall apart around you.

Yeah, the CR-V, but that alone doesn’t mean that you can take the CR-V AWD system and bolt it into a Civic. The rear floor on the latter car isn’t designed to accommodate it.

See my response to the other guy.

Correct, but the CR-V also uses raised suspension mounting points (because ground clearance). I don’t see Honda spending the money to do an AWD sedan for one market. In fact, the leaked interior pics from the Rolex 24 showed a car that used the same rear floor as the Civic, so I’m pretty sure it’ll be FWD-only.

Probably a dealer being wrong. The Civic platform isn’t set up for AWD, and they weren’t gonna spend the money to make the Integra capable of it since Integra is exclusive to North America.

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about the curb weight?

Pre-orders are open but full specs haven’t been announced? Okaaaaaaaayyyyyy...they must be confident in this thing.

The difference is the vaunted German engineering.

These were (and still are) nothing more than basic transportation in every sense of the term. Nothing weird about it.

Isn’t providing the highest possible number what Ford did with its EcoBoost engines? I seem to recall that going badly...

Sounds like a normal AWD car with a center diff. Having all wheels powered all the time isn’t good for fuel mileage; hence why part-time AWD (e.g. Haldex type) was devised.

Weren’t these Spark delivery cars supposed to be crushed once a Dominos was done with them?
