Is it worth the premium over the gas engine? Does it have that spongy non-linear throttle response of older diesels?

So, this is my driveway.

Hence the need for the actual manufacturer to go begging around Jalopnik.

“As a government employee I don’t have much (wealth),”

Not embarrassed... needs different wheels though. They’re horrible and yes still looking for the hybrid version.

Respectfully...that’s very subjective. How much of the perceived improved performance is simply the placebo affect? (Don’t mind me, I’m just feeling a bit inadequate because I’ve never done any of those services myself except the air filter. But I had to ask).

Who’s idea was it to defund education and sell off student loan debit to private companies which ended up ballooning education costs?

The boomers dying off is going to solve a LOT of problems.

Maybe your parents.. Mine are still plugging along in a 2011 Impala.

We disassembled it and found out the magic - it was cheap because it was, and I mean every component was cheapo shit. We seriously wondered if our cars were made to way…

agreed, they did, for about 5 minutes. they aged terribly, and very fast.

We had a few customers that filled their diesel Audis with gasoline or water-laden diesel. In the instance of gasoline misfueling on 3.0TDI Q7s, this was a $16K repair. Everything from the fuel tank to the injectors had to get replaced. Diesel in gas is a little less harmful, but i have seen in melt down cats for…

Yeah, my brother once put gas in my father’s Citroen C4 Picasso. It was not a cheap fix.

That’s why I always huff the fuel nozzle for a few minutes before filling up to make sure its hi-test. You can never be too safe.

Upper-middle class suburbanites will buy this if they are empty nesters or DINKS. Outside of that they buy Infiniti’s QX crap. You can thank salaries leveling off along with health care and education costs skyrocketing.

Here’s a side view of my E9. Note C-pillar badges.

These Buick concepts are sleek.
