Yes. Because I live in Canada.

I was debating back and forth. I found this over on TTAC and best as I can tell, the shock is separate from the spring. No idea if the suspension design on the sedan was the same.

Blown shock ftw.

Good catch. The “original” wheels and lack of marker badge stunk the most to me but that panel + the scant view of the seat bottoms seals this one as an impostor.

Wrong wheels + missing badge + wrong dash surround + wrong seats =/= Viggen

Former Viggen owner here. Not the correct trim for the dash panel.

NOT stock Viggen wheels.

#10 is my #1. The wife is always gasping and flailing the moment she sees brake lights... 2 lanes over. Yet she never notices the accidents actually happening in front of her (0 for 5 so far)? *sigh*

The press release mentions NA production for 1.5 engines and coupe/sedan as well as UK production for the 5-door. Can we assume we're getting the same Type-R as Europe?

Welp, nobody will buy this thing in white now...

Looks like an Impala and an Avalon got busy.

From what I remember when driving my folks' Highlander Hybrid, the CVT in D(rive) lets you coast with the engine off or decoupled, which is great for mileage. B(rake) engages the regenerative braking and leaves the engine running (as a backup?) so you don't need to ride the brakes coming down a long hill.

Any mention as to whether this engine has a Freevalve system?

HD pickups, semis and school buses up here in Canada usually have a canvas or vinyl cover over the grille to shield the rad.

Narrower tires cut through the snow and put more weight on the tread.

Predictability. Letting the wheels spin and the tires work unimpeded is often necessary when you're trying to rock back and forth out of a snow rut or correct a skid. If TC (or whatever alphabet soup content yours is called) is on, it'll either cut the throttle, hit the brakes or both to prevent wheelspin. On a…

So the GTE is a plug-in hybrid? Now THAT'S more like it rather than another electro-slug.

Screw that Stinger thing. If Mazda doesn't want to bring the 6 wagon to North America, Kia should step up and actually build this. Sign me up!

Yup. Canada Post rocks the last-gen Transit Connects. They get a special mirror setup too.
