As long as I can remember. Which is to say, I remember hearing about it when I started driving in 2006. And most of the streets near Ikea are now signed "NO STREET RACING" etc.

I live in Auburn, (directly south of Kent) This is a thing. Pretty much every long industrial road in the valley from Tukwila-Renton-Kent gets used.

It's ugliness makes me happy. Happy to own a 2009.

Dear Subaru,

wow.

If only they had a new diesel coming out soon…

Allow me to do the muttering. Should have been a 240 to W123 beat-off. Wagon, on Wagon.

NOPE.

I know what you're thinking: GM sold 663 ELRs?

Reno makes the most sense, logistically. Problem at the factory? You can just drive there with one supercharger stop from either Fremont or Palo Alto HQ. Thus lowering your costs (no private jets) and time spent waiting at the airport if you fly coach.

As a Seattle area person. What's the deal with all the honking? Yea, so that guy cut you off. He won't stop because you honk at him. You'll just ruin everyone's mood. If you really want to get him. Call the State Patrol.

This un-trimmed fat annoys me so. The hole ass-end of the coupe needs a nip and some tuck.

Designed by someone who thought the 2nd gen. Sebring was a great looking car. Yuck. Other than that, nice job. Really. People are gonna love this thing. Near luxury, cheaper than an Acura, and it's 'Murican' which I guess still matters to some folks.

Too much chrome. Haven't we been over this Chrysler?!?! Too much chrome, fake wood, and/or carbon fiber cheapens the car. It looks like you gave it hoop earrings and too much makeup. Now it's just trying too hard. Same problem with the old 200.

FUN FACT! Did you know one of every six cars sold in America is a mid-size sedan? Yes, despite our newfound love of crossovers and our longtime affair with the pickup truck, we're still a Sedan Nation. It's a critical segment, and nearly every offering in it is very good these days. You have to bring your best Kung Fu…

Next Year: A functional Frunk!

Stance? What is this, a MkIV Golf convention?!?! Come on Jalopnik!

All of these tests were done using an iMiev, Leaf and Focus EV. Individual results may vary.

Don't forget about their rapid-response crash investigationn team. Who look at every significant crash in the Gothenburg area, involving a Volvo.

45mpg, seems about normal for late oil-head BMW twins and the new wasserboxer.
