They’ve both also sold (well, leased) BEVs. I saw a Honda Fit EV on the street last time I was in SF. Toyota also made a RAV4 EV as early as 1997.

That appears to be the only thing he did correctly in the video.

As an enthusiast, not being stuck in traffic is awesome. Now I only drive when I want to drive, which is generally when there is as little traffic as possible.

My understanding is that there are no fake engine noises from the NSX. The sound is “engineered” by piping real engine noise into the cabin.

Maybe they should ask someone at Honda. Nobody complains about the electric steering on the original NSX (from 95+) being numb.

I was thinking more along the lines of

In related news, I’ve heard that the best way to make these cars more reliable is to replace the engine with a small block.

I don’t know about the other Acuras, but some parts for the NSX are already getting scarce. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s also true for other models which have been discontinued far longer, even if they did build more of them.

When I bought my 1991 NSX in 2002, it was the newest car I’d ever owned. So I considered it new. This never really changed in my mind, even though my wife owned a couple of newer cars, until it broke down on me for the first time last year (alternator went out at 197k miles, while driving cross-country). So I guess

I saw a teal Honda Fit on the street the other day. It was like a modern day 80's Honda.

Having spent a lot of time in Asia, I think one of the reasons some women like them is that it makes them taller.

Michael Borton, presumably.

The worst thing I’ve ever rented was a Chevy Cobalt. Awful car, but not particularly noteworthy.

Or if they really want to mess with people. Base: 2.3L Ecoboost, mid: 5.0, Top: 3.5L Ecoboost.

They can take my visibility when they pry it from my cold, dead hands. Which they’ll probably have to do if I ever roll the car. But it’s worth it.

The Fit’s visibility is great, except the A pillars are so big that they have a window in them. It’s the easiest car I’ve ever had to parallel park, though.

Problem unsolved:

Looks to me like the diff is attached directly to the motor. Not sure you can get much closer to that.

Cool. It’s been so long since I have seen the animated film, I assumed it was Tokyo. It was also long before I had been to either, or even knew anything about either, so it was not at all recognizable.

The lower end McLarens don’t have the fancy suspension, they get something more traditional.
