back then the 2nd gen xB i liked a lot lot better than the Soul  Especially with a manual.  sad the xB didnt continue.  The 2nd gen was a much better car for daily living even if it wasnt as quirky

Kia Soul are really great cars for the money. My wife had the redline and its seriously hard to find more car for the money than that. It was also decently fun to drive being so light and hp wasnt too bad either at 164hp and NA.

why you like this reminds me why i have a VW Alltrack and like it even more. 1.8L turbo with 168hp AWD and REAL transmission choices. A manual or a DSG. and even more cargo space and roof rails. The only thing its missing is better performance but thats very easily remedied with that car being a turbo.  Wish VW made a…

i think you could improve the look a bit with some wrap

Evoras are great but just keep in mind with a manual Evora you will have to eventuallychange the clutch and it can cost between $5k-$8k to do so

but this is a type-S not a type R.  Back then the civic SI had 160hp and the Integra Type-S had 170hp.  thankfully this type-S has higher than Type-R levels of hp

Another not well known option is the Acura TL. The early 2000s model is gorgeous but likely hard to find with reasonable miles. but starting with the large model in 2010 they had 305hp, AWD and manual if you can find one. And personally i love the interior

agreed and since im not a truck/jeep person im prob one of the few who really likes this modded version

Land Rover, more like Land Slider... #AmIRight

not only did the model Y not hit the gas he is sitting there with the brakes on while in reverse. i dont understand

Interesting observation. Bronco Raptor is freeking HEAVY. Its 5733lbs and 418hp. BUT the 2dr 4cylinder Bronco is 4286 lbs with 300hp and can be had with a manual. But Ford offers a factory tune giving it 330hp. This means a Bronco Raptor has 13.7lb/hp but the factory tuned 4 cylinder is better at 12.9lb/hp.

yeah theres lots of ways to get better than v8 power to weight ratio without actually being a v8. But i see the appeal

you forgot these the Nissan Leaf race car

huh?

My U-jack that lets me place a jack stand right where i am jacking the car. And my oil extractor which lets me change oil on the VW without ever getting under it since the filter is on the top

We need some kind of fun to drive short range commuter. Make an electric CRX or make the original Honda Urban concept with specs that make it fun
Short range would keep the price and weight. And whatever happened to your sports car?

If i were in this market shopping a luxury car with a base price of $64k, i would certainly be considering the BMW i4. The eDrive40 has 335hp but hits 60 in 4.8 and has a base price of $57k

because electrified cars typically have a different look than their pure ICE counterparts and they tend to annoyingly remove the grill in the current design trend

but those things you mentioned are the “significantly better” things im talking about. Im not talking just performance. I agree that Ferrari interior design and materials are better but are they really worth 45% higher price tag? Especially when the Artura is extremely good itself?

I was expecting something making more of a statement that the car is electrified, maybe something like this
