Tyler - you may want to correct this:

The key is “plug-in”:

Considering how many people die each year due to NOx emissions, I would say it’s much worse, in a very pernicious way.

I guess because extra costs.

The fact that it’s the only diesel plug-in proves my point :)

TDI hybrids were a bad idea anyway. If you’re going to build a hybrid where the engine only runs 50-60% of the time, making it a diesel mean you’re going to have a harder time breaking even on the extra costs of a diesel powertrain.

So... just like most luxury SUV’s out there?

The 208 will still barely match a Fiesta ST while costing 20% more. And given the THP’s gruesome reliability record, I think the Ford has the lead there as well.

They’re not very good at enthusiastic cars..

I didn’t say fast, I said faster ;)

Increase headroom and give it a hatch. Please.

Aftermarket vs. stock. I’m not too sure about the daily driveability of a modded 2.0 I4 with 500hp.

I’m OK with this.

FWD based-CUV vs. RWD-biased sports-SUV. They’re not the same product. I’m sure if you took both for a spin, you’d see where the extra money goes.

Yup - that’s why I was asking.. Didn’t see the tow cable. Isn’t that the last thing you want to do to a car with air suspension?

Isn’t there something wrong with your front suspension?

I believe they did.. but that doesn’t mean the swap won’t ruin your life and / or the car!

Yeah but those are getting expensive though... :)

And that’s part of the dream, isn’t it?
