I’m sorry but what enthusiast wants to buy a car with the least powerful engine?

See my 3rd point. I was new car shopping in 2018-2019. I couldn’t find a 6MT Accord to drive within 500 miles. I’m not buying a car without experiencing first (I’m sure the new 2020 version of Jalopnik will throw flak at me for that too). I ended up buy a 6MT Golf SportWagen becuase I found one close, got to experience…
Problem with this conspiracy theory is plenty of automakers did it the right way, and people still didn’t bite. Infiniti couldn’t justify bringing the manual back with the Q50. BMW offered the 6MT on the 340i AND xi..... no dice. Audi kept hope alive with the S4. Again, no takers. What makes you think things would…
I was willing to deal with their 2.0T, but no leather, no sunroof, and a few other luxury features (some of which are available on Corollas and Civics) were not available on the manual. I honestly don’t know why they even offered it. Sticking with my old ATS 2.0T 6MT for the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
Idiotic Genesis. There were only dozens of us interested because YOU DIDNT GIVE THE TOP TRIM / ENGINE THE MANUAL. Only the base model got the manual. The poverty spec. THAT is why only dozens were interested. You COULD have had a 335 or S4 rival and it could have been really something, perhaps a big sales success.…
It’s a textbook OE play. Offer the MT, but not in all trims or with all engines (and normally only with the shittier of the choices). No one buys it. Then shrug shoulders and say - well that take rate is terrible, that was dumb, we won’t do that again.
Plenty of us have really good jobs. I have worked hard, was lucky enough to have a family who sent me to college and I graduated without debt. My wife and I are up there in earnings. Yet many people like me still can see the inequity in our economy. Just because someone makes a statement about economic inequality…
the V6 6MT accord was quietly more powerful than the 2.0T as well.
I could go for this; manually-shifted Hondas are a true joy.
Well, I guess you could always borrow a million or two dollars from your parents if you need something to tide you over between manager in their hotel and shoe designer. You know, normal people stuff.
Since when do rich people suffer during a depression? It’s only a depression for the ones that don’t have money. Every cent we loose during times like these ends up in their pockets.
Reading this made me a bit sad. I have found memories of the V6 6MT Accord Coupe my mom had when I was in highschool, and there may be a day when I need a family sedan. It’s a bummer the 6MT Accord won’t be an option.
Ours didn’t end in a dictatorship and later total defeat.
Revolution can be messy. Our own wasn’t neat and orderly, that’s for sure.
If you can spend that much money on an E30, you don’t buy this OR that. You buy this AND that.
And how did that work out for France?
Pretty good, actually. They have universal health coverage and we don’t.
It is time.
lol this was my first thought when I saw the title. What covid economy?
