The rest of the world wishes they can drive the “bloated” cars American drive. Have you seen what European expats do when they transfer to America?

Nah not really.

While I love AvE, this video got it a bit wrong. I don’t think he understood the politics that went into putting ethanol in our fuel. It is WAY more complicated and dirty than most people care to understand.

I think a standard (preferably higher) octane is a good idea. Cost savings up and down the food chain would almost assuredly make up for the increased price for the fuel.

Higher efficiency. Allows for cleaner burning engines, simplified design and development (read: likely better), and more power per liter. They literally tell you this in the article.

Increased compression ratio = more efficient engine = more power and higher fuel economy.

I would never use this technology and have no need for it. Most rural regions will never need this. I often think about how many cars will be scrapped like an old iPhone when the tech installed becomes outdated or more expensive to repair than what the owner is willing to spend on their aging vehicle.

Neutral: I work with technology every day (seriously, that’s what I fix) and am solidly middle-aged, so get off my lawn.

New cars are required to have a backup camera, which means they’ll need a display somewhere in the car anyway. Why wouldn’t they integrate some value-added features into a screen that has to be there anyway?

Neutral: What happened to the basic dash design?

And my state has the right not to have its textbook content written by Texas, but here we are.

What world do you live in that fighting for less pollution is a bad thing?

No state is FORCED to follow CARB standards....

Tell me again how Republicans are the party of states’ rights?

Too heavy. I just crank both windows down.

No. Stick your head out the window if you have to.

I just hope it doesn’t get bloated if this isn’t just a rumor. The current gen is delightfully small and light.

I hope they don’t blow the engine. Everyone is going turbo mad [yes…i know] but the smoothness and acoustics of N/A engine is superior to all. Haven’t driven one yet but I hear the electric turbos improve the smoothness of the charger’s power delivery, but still…exhaust note…

Bought a 2017 BRZ PP in December. I would absolutely buy the next version of this car if they make another! It’s light and cheap to run at the track. Great combo!
