I'll also add that I believe the holy grail of ICE efficiency will be a hybrid system using thermal-electric generators as well as regenerative braking systems. In an efficient gasoline ICE you can expect anywhere from 20% to 30% thermal efficiency. The rest of the fuels energy is waste heat given off by the cooling…

The problem is that Turbo's are only used here as a premium engine option with added power. Given a turbo motor (in boost) and an NA motor making the same power level, the turbo motor will be more fuel efficient. This is because a turbocharger increases the thermal efficiency of the engine by extracting waste heat…

Where's superkiwizorro!?!?

There's starving kids in Africa too, but they don't cover those either...

"This is why the GTI still wins in hot hatch comparisons from people that get what hot hatches are for."

OH Jesus, don't we all know.

Only if it's a cobb. #ivebeenaroundawhile

Yea, we don't have rust here in the Atlantic provinces. The ones surrounded by SALT WATER.

This post is idiotic. Shove the classic internet whiner out the door, and in with someone who likes cars and you've got someone that doesn't sound like a bitch.

Do it and link us please.

To expand on this, some manufacturers use premium fuel to get the advertised fuel economy numbers. I know mitsubishi does this.

How do you complain about burnouts? Seriously? Next you'll be talking about lung inflammation.

I wouldn't recommend this with a liquid cooled model, the radiator relies on snow from the track for cooling. There's not much snow on the beach.

I've never voted on COTD before. #COTD

I wouldn't complain when people are willing to pay for quality. It's that attitude that leads to everything being cheap and disposable.

I lol'd.

Lighten up. Don't feel singled out, after all all Americans are fat and stupid, Canadians say "Eh" all the time while eating maple syrup and playing hockey, all english people have bad teeth, and Australia is upside-down.

This could also be at least partially attributed to improved engine oil.

Damn I was too slow. Image related.

If it were a Hilux, it would create it's own meme.
