The 2200lb figure is for the Japanese version. By the time it reaches the USA who knows how much weight will be added. The 4C added 200lbs for US spec. I still think it'll be lighter than the current car, but not my much, and with the less powerful 2.0 performance is pretty much going to be identical I think.

He let his feelings be known in the company's web portal on company time. He's indirectly condemning any lgbtq person in the company that views it. It creates a hostile environment for those workers and there would be legitimate grounds for a lawsuit.

The lawsuit stated that he posted it on the company's own web portal on company time.

In either case this isn't a free speech issue. The dude was being openly hostile for no reason in a corporate environment where everyone else could see his response. If it was reversed and an lgbtq person was openly condemning a straight person's lifestyle and saying it "leads to death" then that person would face the…

I don't think you can even get a GTI wagon outside of the States.

Apparently on the company's own intranet site as a response to the memo for the lgbtq policy.

The first amendment states that the government has no right to limit or censor a person's speech.

Employers can fire employees for saying stupid shit all the time, especially when they're talking about the company they work for. "At-will" states like Michigan need no reason to fire someone.

Michigan is an "at-will" employment state, meaning Ford or the subcontractor can fire him without cause or reason besides discrimination. This case won't hold any water in court.

Well they might not be wrong about that one. 2016 MY is supposed to bring a big refresh for the FRS/BRZ twins. The 2015 MY was introduced in April, 2014 so you could possibly expect it to be unveiled in April of this year and available in the last quarter of 2015.

It's going to be the halo car for the brand. If the Focus RS is expected to be priced at $30k+ I see no reason for the Civic not to get in on the competition. Plus it's not going to be the only new Honda for long. There's going to be at least a refreshed/possibly redesigned Civic Si with a 1.5 turbo in the future.

I have no clue. Never driven one.

Well it has Fiat underpinnings so might be slightly harsher than a 500 because of the lift.

I hope you're right. I really want one.

It's gonna be a luxury car in the same vein the 3-series, A4, and C-class are luxury cars. They're in the same category.

I have a feeling the base model Tesla will have a less-than 200 mile range, with higher trims getting the 200 mile range with more power. Kind of like the 328/335.

Huh? I'm not comparing prices of the old NSX to the new one.

When I think of re-engineering in this context, I think of the mechanical bits of the car.
Also reading the article there's no mention of Acura making this statement, only Travis.

So is there a mechanical AWD system as well? I'm an idiot when it comes to identifying mechanical parts in pictures.

Well if the car was lengthened and widened a few inches, I'd say they would have to re-engineer a good amount of the car to fit the new engine. So yes, totally re-engineered is an appropriate term to use.
