No, the Nissan Leaf gets that.

So this is basically like my Odyssey. Except it carries fewer people and won’t fit 4x8 sheets of plywood.

I saw some TV show somewhere mention that they started pulling used engine blocks out of 2002s because the heat cycling they had been through during normal use made them stronger and better for racing than freshly made engine blocks.

My friend (mentioned in another reply) tried to sell his a failed. Traded it in at a decent loss. I think everyone who wanted one has one. And many of them no longer want it.

My friend got one of the first 4Cs to (eventually) make its way into this country. It lasted less than a year. He hated it and traded it for a Cayman. Lesson: test drive it first.

Should he just drive a Honda into a wall just fast enough to make the airbag go off?

With a durable outer casing to prevent fallapart.

I have an ‘12 Odyssey and just sold an ‘08 Civic and somehow I’ve so far managed to avoid this insanity.

Who knows - it could have been timing too. Used MS3s were just hitting the market at the time. Now they’re all trashed. Plus a 10 year old car is going to have less difference in price between the GT and touring trims. At the time the supposed used value of my car was the same as an MS3 touring, so you can see why I…

I had a 2007 GT, and selling it was a major PITA. People want automatics or they want an MS3. And they don’t really care to pay for all of the cool things the GT gets you. Long story short, KBB dramatically overestimated what I could ask for the car, and selling it was a long and painfully drawn out process where I…

I’m finally to the point in life where getting an A3 or A4 is an option and Audi has nothing I want to buy anymore (in that price range). Hence my ‘16 GTI. Android Auto isn’t nearly as cool as I thought it would be, btw.

They come in lovely hatchback stick versions over at the VW dealer . . .

I bet you were on the SE-R mailing list back in the day.

SR20's are always doing things right.

I like the letters to the editor. They all start “Technically you’re correct, however . . .”

I see the new nose! It’s sitting in the passenger seat.

At first I thought you were referring to what looks like a giant nose sitting in the passenger seat. Try to unsee that.

Agreed. You’d think with a modern CAD system it’d be pretty easy to spit out images like that, and yet you rarely see them anymore.

Planes can autoland, but the plane model has to be certified for it, the airport’s guidance system has to be certified for it and I’m pretty sure the individual plane and the pilots have to be certified for it as well. All of which is expensive. So it basically never happens.

Did you grow up in Kenosha, WI or something, because that’s the only place I’ve ever seen such a concentration of Alliances (and Encores)?
