I agree. Peak Maser in the mid 2000s I say. The QP with the ZF auto is actually fairly reliable, no major issues.

Doubt it. The M139 with the ZF automatic are pretty reliable. Not much to go wrong except the well known cam phasers.

I hate this class of vehicle. No positives, only compromises that make it bad at everything, good at nothing.

agreed. Busso is best Alfa engine and an Alfa is not the same without it. I love mine.

As an environmentalist but also a gearhead, I applaud the defeat of this speed limit proposal. The Green Party has so many other huge polluting things to go after, cars going fast should be way, way down on that list.

SUVs in title, no SUVs in photo.

I would say Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo. These are stupid fast, and you would be unique in a sea of E30s and Miatas.

Have never cared about Nissan or Infiniti...and I never will. They never have made, and probably never will make, a vehicle I care about at all.

I know it never happens, people like vanilla ice cream too. Boringly hipster of them. If you enjoy that beige on your Corolla, you do you and enjoy it. But don’t buy it because “I might get more money on the other end if I just suffer through owning this lump of mediocrity.”

Who cares about resale? Buy the colour that you enjoy, enjoy the vehicle, and then take the small hit when you dont want that vehicle anymore.

I totally agree. White CUVs are everywhere, you would think they dont come in any different colour. Silver Camrys. Black BMWs. All so so boring. My Mini is “Electric Blue” with white stripes, and my Alfa is 130bb Alfa Red, known as “Cuore Red.” Both stand out and I like that.

and never want to. and with supercars, that is kinda the point

Stop making excuses for the new failure of an NSX. It is nothing like the old one, entirely the opposite car philosophy actually. And yes, that is what the car was about - experimental and new tech etc. But NOBODY will be wanting one of these things, new, or in 20 years from now.

A Lancia Stratos replica, like a Hawk HF, with a Ferrari V8. A rally car with an engine from the company that tried to kill off its return.

From the English part of Canada, I can say this is also true here...except this male enthusiast drives a manual R53 JCW. Sporty SUVs are compensators for well-off dads who could not justify getting a half ton to pound pavement in.

No.

Yep. Up here in Canada our dealership’s parts dept. look at those as guaranteed replacement revenue.

Looks like a Kia. My how Audi have fallen far from the beautiful restrained Bauhaus looks of the early 2000s. I am sure that 1hp makes all the difference. My OCD goes crazy when engines are quoted as having xx1 hp. Make it a 0 or add 4 more with a little more timing.

Not comparable at all. Not even in the slightest.

Yes, im serious. But not really. I understand for a family van, yeah you need cup holders for water etc. But in a car that doesn’t have any, or very few, there is a reason for that. Probably because it is meant to be driven.
