But upgrading from a jetta to a GTI for $6k is absolutely worth it. you get a hatchback, plaid seats, red detailing, and a car that has better seats and steering wheel and also looks better.

And then you take that car and plug your freakin andriod phone in, to use the superior Android auto which has supported Waze for…

I look forward to the teasers, concept reveals and eventual redesign of the track; before its finally revealed in 2033.

That’s the risk though. Toyota knows it needs to be updated and will likely go way overboard doing it. Better fuel economy and a better infotainment is all it really needs, but just watch them screw it up with a whole bunch of ridiculous styling and gimmicks because that’s what the broader market is trending towards.

That is the ugliest thing I’ve seen today. And before you ask, yes I looked at my mom this morning.

The conversion is $39,995, and that’s on top of the truck itself.

228HP in that would still run circles around your mommy’s camry as the EA888 is underrated and is probably making 228 at the front wheels.  Also a cheap ECU tune on it and it’s going to gain 100hp.  Clown.  

I consider myself an enthusiast, and, having driven a number of loaner Outbacks, Imprezas, XVs, and Foresters, I loathe how boring l, slow, and soul-mangling Subaru has made their cars. I am so ready to jump ship to another manufacturer when my 2009 WRX becomes too expensive to maintain.

I think the pressure to upgrade the STI should be more about brand image than sales - they sell more WRX’s and STI’s now than ever which is nuts.

LOL what? The Golf R has just as big aftermarket, and show me any STI that doesn’t blow up after a full bolt on tune in couple thousand miles? They are notoriously unreliable tuned, untill you dump a bunch of money to build up the motor. Golf R on the other hand just tune and a catless downpipe and you are going to…

My Tiny Audi is gapping your subaru on the same winter tires while keeping me luxuriously warm and comfortable.  Also no tin can doors, shitty  rattles or cabin drone.   

a Golf R is leagues faster than any STI, it’s also miles more reliable tuned or stock.  Straight facts.   A tune and donwpipe on any Golf % on 93 octane and it will put busses on any modified STI shy of a giant turbo that will only last 2K miles on that shitty motor.  

In the US, and pretty much everywhere besides China, EVs result in less carbon emission per mile than standard gasoline cars. Sure, it’s a “long tail pipe,” but since power plants are more efficient than internal combustion engines, and electric motors are crazy efficient, even with mostly coal electricity, your…

Yes I know where my electricity comes from. 61% hydro, 24% nat gas, 10% wind, the rest miscellaneous. And that’s after tapping out the capacity of my solar panels. So - tell me again how I’m increasing carbon emissions compared to a car run entirely off gasoline? That argument is stale. In most states where EV’s are…

Take a look. What do you see? Lots of power comes from fossil fuels (Coal, Gas)

Once people figure out where electricity comes from...

Oh, well, if someone already said it, then sure, it’s now settled.

MK7 GTI owner here as well, and I totally disagree ;) Third GTI and my first with 4-doors. You don’t realize how impractical 2-doors are until you’ve had 4! Bag of groceries? Pop it in the rear footwell without having to fold the seat forward. Picking up a third person? Pull up and, get this, they can get in while you …

It’s a state of the art supercar, it would be ridiculous to outfit it with outdated tech.

You sad fool. So you drove one poorly calibrated, small engine volvo diesel and want to cast aspersions on all of them?
