Works well enough for this 6'2" 260lbs guy.

Boxy design is great for customization!

I’ve found that audio is one place where it’s usually much better to spend (or rather bleed) just once and go for something nice right away. Trying the budget route always ends up in a cycle of upgrades because the next thing up is just a bit better and costs just a bit more, but after a few cycles of this you’d still…

Agreed on canopy. What I had in mind was solar-covered parking spaces for everybody, but only a handful of slots would actually be used for charging.

I got those charts and figures directly from the EIA website.

It’s an interesting idea, but you’ll need a lot more solar panel area than that to charge even a single car.

More differentiation between the Lexus and Land Cruiser versions will be good. Right now they’re basically the same car and there’s small reason to pick the Lexus with its price premium.

Race drivers with big feet will often just straddle the accelerator with the side of their foot.

Oh great, an excuse to post this vid again!

Also at 0:09 the voice-over actually pronounces it with an L sound. Stallion 100%.

Well, early adverts for the car even put a horse on top of the Starion badge, so you tell me.

Yeah there’s very little mentioned about the gearbox, so I assume it must have been the most conventional part of the car.

The Expo was also known as the Chariot, and the Mirage was also a Colt, so the knights and horses theme continues.

A little tidbit that not everyone might have figured out is Starion is almost certainly Engrish for Stallion.

I’ve been lucky to know about the C-111 since I was a kid wearing shorts to school thanks to Trump cards. When I was a teenager I found a magazine that told its story and showed pictures of the concept next to the speed record cars.

Dope! What’s next? H22 swap?

Agreed, and that was exactly what Kristen said in the article. I was just approaching from the other direction and saying that rather than option out a regular Civic to $30k, might as well spring for the Type-R.

Although as Seoultrain pointed out the Si at $25k is an even better idea.

This.

That was sort of my point. Optioning a $21k car to almost $30k is dumb. At that point I might as well step it up to $38k and get something I can actually have fun in and maybe grow to like. Plus a base CTR will likely have nearly everything they optioned to put into the tester Civic.
