For once, I actually think it looks pretty decent. The last Civic design I really liked was the late ‘90s model.

I respectfully disagree. It’s hideous.

Sounds pretty decent to me. As long as it’s not being pumped in artificially through the speakers, I’m okay with it. People are going to whine no matter what changes are made to it. It will still be a great car at the end of the day.

Sure, they sell, but how many crossover models do they really need to offer? Juke, Rogue, Pathfinder. Where is there a market hole that is not being filled? I was thinking the same thing about the Z becoming a line of vehicles. That seems more plausible. If they kill the Z, might as well badge the GT-R as an Infiniti…

For the sake of the word “design,” let’s call it what it really is. Styling turned up to 11.

The R was a one year release, in 2012, I think. They announced a second run, probably with new body updates, but that was only a month ago.

I think that’s the problem with the Urus. It should be more insane than an LM002, not less. Less is just regression. That makes it less of a Lamborghini in my eyes.

The Urus. It’s basically being brought to market to make money, which flies in the face of the Lamborghini company, which historically (since the Countach at least) has just been extreme for the sake of being extreme. Lamborghini was the poster supercar of my youth, so when they build this and don’t build the…

That would not have been fun! I was worried about the new seals leaking, so I smeared some black RTV on them. As far as I know it’s leak free now. Now every seal has been changed except the rear main. Hopefully that will hold until some day when the clutch dies.

The cam seals had leaked onto everything below them. The cam seals should have been changed as preventive maintenance with the front main seal and the timing belt the year before, but the shop that did that work ignored them since they weren’t leaking at the time. If I can do this, anyone can. It’s a simple car to…

Changing the cam seals on my Miata. On it’s own, not the toughest job in the world, but getting to them involved removing the timing belt, which meant dealing with that pain in the neck timing cover and changing all of the rubber seals on it, since they were swollen up with oil. Add to that, none of the new rubber…

I was just thinking the same.

I never had a Pulsar but had two Sentras, an ‘84 hatch and a ‘97 and will always love cheap Nissans, like the NX, because of them. The newer one was too soft, but reliable. The old one (which I had first) was only my second car, the first that I actually liked. Destroyed 2 clutches in a year in that car doing 2nd gear…

To each their own. The reason I liked it was that the Asterion could be kind of a return to the classic style of the Miura. I love the Countach and pretty much everything they’ve done since, but everything they’ve done since then has drawn inspiration from the Countach. This could be something different. Plus a nearly…

I wasn’t really speaking of any time soon, but long term, due to changing emissions regulations. But my main point was between this and them agreeing to produce the Urus, it’s silly to deny the Asterion production.

Yes and either way, it’s still a poor reason to not make the Asterion. They’re going to have to get on board with hybrid eventually. I don’t love it but it’s better than seeing the brand killed off.

Ever experience driving with a non-working fuel gauge, and having to guess when your car might sputter out and die? No? Well aren’t you lucky.

Yep, looks like a 1.8 NA.

Maybe I’ve just been looking at them all my life, to the point where they seem normal, but I never thought these were poorly proportioned at all. For handling, sure, but considering it was made for people who don’t drive, but are driven everywhere by a chauffeur, why would that even matter?
