Keep being you, Hamilton. I think it’s really cool that he’s shaking up the old stuffy “boys club” of F1. Drivers are still humans, and they already have a grueling schedule. It’s awesome that he is cutting up and having a good time, it’s not like he as a wealth of free time during the season. Good on Grosjean for…
In all fairness, GM has done squared wheel wells for a long, long time. Their trucks have been boxy with lots of hard lines and angles since the late 60's (correct me if I’m wrong about the styling change).
I actually figured the same thing. The added top end power really shocked me. It’s actually my biggest complaint about the car, but maybe I’ll reconsider in the future.
A lot of guys start shifter karts in a similar manner, but they usually wrap the strap around the axle.
You misunderstood the paragraph/headline. They are assessing how much VW can afford to pay, not how much they can get from VW. There is a subtle difference. It’s like how the Y subsidizes member fees for those with lower incomes, but charges full price for those that can afford it. They want the fine to sting, but not…
So you want people to cut profits to make you happy?
So... why post the graphic?
As others have noted, that’s the “old”/current Compass, not the new one.
The transmission is in the middle of the car, so it doesn’t change a whole lot. You are also forgetting that it’s been stripped and tons of other mods.
This.
“But then, shitty driving can make any car under-steer.”
It will only push if you are a bad driver and over driving the car.
So before now you would have bought a VW product without comparing it to any other car from any manufacturer?
So... what you would have done anyway... If you are commenting on a Jalopnik article, and you aren’t greyed out, then you wren’t buying a car without obsessively researching it to begin with.
So then you have no experience with how nice it is to have automatic doors when you are holding a screaming toddler covered in shit.
Just like the majority that poo poo minivans and other family hauler cars, they have no idea the range of their true utility. They also haven’t stopped to think that maybe the market demands it since ALL minivans have auto side doors.
Who are you getting your information from?
This. They all slip like crazy and rob all kinds of power.
They are also crappy for power delivery. CVT’s are probably the worst transmission for parasitic loss.
