This should not be a CUV. They take the tiny efficient motor and put it in the tall heavier less aerodynamic shape of a CUV and only manage 32mpg. If this were in a hatch or especially a wagon, it would be lighter, have the same or more cargo space, and be more aerodynamic and easily get closer to 40mpg. small CUVs…
yeah its a different application of the same tech that showed up on the hondas decades earlier.
yeah but those were a decade later and really just notable for their interesting shape not the lighting tech used.
What needs to be done to get americans into watching racing is to promote the lesser and cheaper races. only promoting F1 is like trying to get people into football by only promoting the superbowl. its the single most expensive way to watch football and the same goes for F1. They need to promote things like LeMans and…
the m340 base is $57k i expect this to be closer to $50k but the m340 doesnt have a manual option does it?
yeah sorry was meaning the 43o not m430 they call the 440 the m440 but not the 430. what im saying is that any luxury car with a similar price and seating is around 255hp 4cylider and not 320hp like the itegra
fixing how companies game the mpg system is a welcome change. it will better reflect the reality of the situation
agreed. And they have had a manual in the Soul at times in the past.
yes if you dont have a plug dont buy a plugin. but atleast if you are renting and go from a place with a plug to a place without, you can still drive the PHEV. if you have an EV youd have to sell it
It will be cross shopped at this price with the M430. or the 330. But hopefully its just under $50k or else its really getting too expensive
almost 50 year old me loves a good manual even in stop and go. But if i were wanting an auto, a honda auto is not what id want. Id be shopping for a Golf R with the DSG auto and awd which is likely significantly quicker than the integra. Integra has a better interior however and looks better and likely handles a…
the advantage of the PHEV is being able to get 44 miles of EV when leaving your house. Since the avg american drives less than 50 miles a day, this would make most commutes gas free and takes none of your time. if you have to go to a charging station and spend time every single day, youre better off with just the…
but a PHEV is going to have the same problem. If you cant charge at home dont get anything that needs a plug
honestly a PHEV is the best solution for many people. until charging infrastructure is everywhere, and batteries are better, and people get over their range anxiety and belief that they road trip every day, the PHEV is the best solution
oh youre not too familiar with modern cars there are tons that are worse.
