It is about more than 0-60, which is a fairly useless metric in itself anyways. That low redline is probably for when the car is cold, and gradually shrinks as the oil gets warm. The engine is capable of north of 8kRPM IIRC.

You have to admit that CR ratings are far better than Jalopnik commenter anecdotal reliability ratings... which are based on tears and disappointment from people buying 15 year old German cars and expecting the tech to work like new.

I just had to reply to this thread, as someone who has worked at, well... clearly a much better dealership than those from all of these stories, for the last 16 years. Anything like what was mentioned above or below would never fly here. I’m genuinely blown away reading some of these stories - keep in mind I live in…

if i ever come across a dealership trying to play that game with me, I’ll play. I’ll go for a test drive leading them to think I’m interested in a car. Then I’ll drive off to go grocery shopping or run other errands with the salesperson in the car and the key in my pocket for a few hours. 

Boy, both tactics sound extremely illegal. “Hide the keys” is theft of property. While the “block them from leaving” is basically taking a hostage.

I LOVE the Age of Empires games. Age of Empires 2 was the first game I played a LOT of as a kid and I still mess around with it on Game Pass. AoE kindled a soft spot for RTS games that it completely out of whack with my actual skill. I totally fucking suck at them lol. If I turn that shit even a hair above easy or…

Costco is not off road, which is where 99.95% of said Jeeps, Broncos,4Runners and Range rovers will be. Karen and Susan do not want dust on their Uggs. Off Road?  Pfffft not unless there is a desert starbucks with double star day.

You have to hand it to Nissan. Didn’t matter how low things got, they are fucking trying. Between the styling of this and going away from the CVT? I like where they’re headed, bravo.

She’s probably very successful in Texas. She fits right in.

The “Orlove’d” achievement was very buggy in dev. testing. You could get air time and the trophy would pop. Other times you could barrel roll a la Michael McDowell Texas 2008 and you wouldn’t get it.

Hot Pursuit was a blast.  Played that for hours with my wife.  The Porsche unleashed game was also really fun.

I remember Jarrett & Labonte Racing, but had no idea it WASN’T Dale and Bobby lol

Honestly... this sounds like localization turned up to 20. Nah, it’s not just enough to translate some text, but develop an entire different game for the western markets.

The DLC Adblocker pack helped a lot though 

Or, it was so completely overrun with ads as to be virtually unplayable on any format except PC.

Adam I’m going to give you some TL;DR material; I seem to do this a lot with your posts.

The Jalopnik game was shelved for 2 reasons:

I’ve always assumed “My Summer Car” was the official game if Jalopnik.

I PLAYED SO MUCH TOCA 2
