Easy a 2JZ-GTE swapped IS300 SportCross

“GM and Ford relied on trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-Series pickup to provide the bulk of their global profit last year, analysts say, even though those models accounted for only 10% to 15% of each company’s total world-wide sales. GM’s strength in pickups helped deliver a global operating margin of…

After watching a review of the new Corolla Hatchback, I feel the opposite. Automakers never really adapted manuals with the tech needed to make them easier to drive (this applies the RWD as well). The Toyota Corolla Hatchback comes with all kinds of goodies so some who is terrible at it can get by.

1st Gear:

Who knew that infrustructure, education and engery indepence were such controveral issues?

Taking an honest look at the twins after DD a BRZ for 3 years and knowing its many faults. It’s still an amazingly handling sportscar for less than $25k. Keeping it close to that price and being profitable is going to be hard.

It might be my recent first gen Lexus IS 300 searches talking but I think this would sell well.

I never understood why most BOF suv/trucks and three row crossovers in this country aren’t diesel powered. They are more efficient and give you gobs of torque which is what you need to move something with that much weight.

I don’t wanna like the TourerX but I really do, it’s just a shame its a Buick. And thats not Buick’s fault, its the GM overlords. I feel if GM let Buick be more itself than a GM parts bin, I think they’d have a better chance.

I really hope they keep making it because there ain’t much on the cheap used lot that is lightweight, RWD, Manual, and LSD equipped that isn’t a miata. The smart money would release that the 86 chassis was a long term investment, not a short term. Alot of kids growing up are going to have parents that either still…

The 4Runner has improved it’s sales figures every year since 2010, except 2011. If your looking for a proper all rounder that rarely sees a service center, it’s hard to beat.

Your vehicle was still considerably more warmer stilling in a garage over night. Leaving the garage door open for an hour isn’t going to temperature soak like it would have if it was outside. A more accurate test would have been to leave it outside over night.

I dig the air raid style headlight covers.

There is no reason the website/dealer can’t give you an OTD price on a select vehicle and trim. None.

I was a bit surprised at that as well. The AWD version is only 2 mpg better than the 4Runner.

I’m 6'2 315 (w/ belly lol) with the Miata/s2000 the steering wheel is too low for my legs to get under. I was able to fit in a s2000 when I was a bit younger and thinner but it was uncomfortably tight. I felt comfortably snug in a BRZ though.

There is a dealer local to me in PA, that puts the front one on just to put their advertising plate on. Even if I wanted to buy a car from there I won’t specifically because of that.

I’m not against that.

I’ve always wonder this because I heard these were tall friendly. But then again I don’t fit in a miata or s2000.
