In fairness, that 2.5 turbo is a good one.  Reliable, and only thirsty if you’re in the boost all the time.  I don’t think it’s anywhere near it’s limits either.

Poised, an inch above the clutch... waiting to pounce.  It’s a great quad work out too on a long drive.

Wait till she sees the CX-90, if it arrives in time: “The Mazda CX-90 PHEV could use the new inline-six engine.”

A turbocharger.

Coupe or no dice on E36s.

There is none. Your passenger is someone willing to pay thousands extra to get from the U.S. to Europe or Asia a couple of hours faster. You’re not going to build an airline around just that segment.  

I think we’re going to start seeing trailers with batteries eventually for long haul use cases like campers or boats (though that’ll be fun to dip in the water). Not only can they supplement the EV range, but they can be used for powering the camper especially with states like CA banning small engines, a trailer with…

I don’t have anything to add, but I wanted to comment because large, in depth articles like this one are valuable, and we won’t have more of them without sufficient “engagement.”

Agreed. We actually owned a 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid back in the day and other than the stock wheels, I thought it was a great looking car. However, I just expect something a little racier for this kinda scratch...

Looking at his channel makes me think that he isn’t in on the joke — he may just be that gauche.

I was pretty sure I knew everything I needed to know before I even began reading Rob’s florid prose. $40k for an extra-hideous, salvage titled version of an already-hideous, pointless, unreliable vehicle?

Same thing where I grew up. But I think it’s worse now. I worked at a gas station part time for a decade, and I can’t tell you how many times I saw parents buying their 5'2 90 lb 16 year old daughters big ass F350 dually with a lift kit.

Ditto. Not dissimilarly, I had a classmate whose parents were from Japan, and who were filthy rich, but did not speak English very well. Thus, he was able to convince them that he was allowed to drive to school alone on a learner’s permit, at the age of 15. So they bought him a then-new 2007 Lexus IS 350 as a birthday…

It’s interesting that the you felt the car was leaving too much space even on the closest setting. My dad’s ‘21 Impreza had it and my wife’s ‘18 Forester does too. They both follow reasonably — to me — on the middle setting. The longest setting has it picking up cars half a mile away and the closest setting has you…

Fuck it, go completely mental and shove a VW TDi 10-cylinder in there.
