So what is Toro Rosso getting out of this deal exactly? They now have a less reliable, less powerful engine and are losing their better driver. Why did they agree to this? Maybe Honda is way cheaper as an engine supplier or something.

There is a good reason why most Jalops don’t run a car company.

87? Even more impressive. Thank you! Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor.

What will the G70 have that differentiates it from these other offerings?

I saw him at the L.A. Auto Show among other places and his english accent (while on Lamborghini) leaned more towards Italy than Germany. Good talk, cheers!

In other words, it’s a live-action “cartoon”.

Yes, you’re right. He basically has no accent while speaking italian. Nice factoid mate.

Also completely forgot the point that Toretto definitely was an import guy, specifically rotorhead, with his RX7 that was parked and never seen again.

Forget the movie. Look at this Poster in Portuguese. It is called “Velozes e Furiosos”. So we get a V8.

Three of these are major losses, one is not.

I wish “Do whatever you want as long as it’s good and makes money” was a strategy at more companies.

I’d like to announce that FCA is starting a pilot project in the same vein.

9.8 seconds to 100m, though.

Dammit, now I can’t unsee that. Practically FWD in its design, but I still like the car as a whole.

“In the interest of keeping core technologies close to our British roots, we’ll be exclusively using Lucas electrics.”

The resulting risk of this is that the oil could spray onto the windshield, thus impairing vision

Pretty sure. If its a Highlander, there can be only one.

Double denim disaster? Rubbish. I raise to you the “triple denim disaster”.
