live in a snow belt area and you will realize what an asset that awd system is even though it adds parasitic loss through additional friction.

2011 Subaru ej25 engine in stock form are known to have head gasket issues. Actually it stems from 2006 onwards. Don't know why though. My 06 legacy gt has been rock solid.

that was the first thing that canned to my mind. Brilliant haha

is it inside or on top?

wow. That just have been a sphincter tightening moment... I've never seen them in such a large group up here. They're usually pretty solitary.

Depends. Yes cpo as listed above are of value, but it's also about TCO. In my region of north America, auto insurance for the cars you listed are out of hand. But that is region specific. Fuel savings...there is no doubt there is a savings there.

Positives:

"5 at once"...wow...they jumped in front of you as a herd?...or were you in a semi doing some hagwalah? =P

WRC needs homologation rules again. Best years of auto development were during the years when the auto manufacturers must make x number of road going models of their racing cars. Especially for touring, rally, gt cars.

Well I guess no headlights will allow you to crash in a fiery ball without seeing it coming?

if I recall correctly, ford Europe had the Sierra Cosworth and rs500 which were both viable m3 competition but with 4 cyl Turbos.

np doubt there. Mine was just recently stolen...

May I present to you the Isuzu Como. Cab forward design...almost cab over. Mid engined powered by f1 power plant?

not likely. Not in a city like shanghai where there is money, and image conscious Asians who have been exposed to western culture for past century. Tesla will do well there. Same reason why Mercedes, BMW, Audi are so prominent there. Even best selling domestic cars are mostly Buicks.

wonder if there is any relation to Sandro Lisi, Rob Ford's friend/chauffeur/drug dealer...etc

Yup. Bridge was on a slope. Possible are just overly sensitive now...

apparently it refers to mostly to orientals and the slant of our eyes. I've never heard it before as well and has to look it. Not sure why people are freaking out over it.
