I guess I don’t think of a hopped up economy car as being in the same class as more expensive sports coupes, although I admit some people would cross-shop them. A Sentra’s natural competition would be a Civic coupe, not a GSR or a Prelude. A Neon or Escort GT are in the same class - their dreadfulness was why the SE-R…

A moose once bit my sister. No realli!
Of course the cars you’re comparing the SE-R to are all in a different class. Let’s not forget it was a 10 Best every year it was in production.
This needs more stars. My Odyssey made fewer kicks than my Si did, but they happen at a lower RPM so they’re more useful kicks. My GTI is completely kickless.
Yeah, even at 40+ years old I thought that sticker was cool.
What kind of transmissions to autonomous trucks have?
I don’t know how popular this will be, but I guarantee you the people that buy one will go around announcing to everyone that will listen that they’re idiots for not having a car that pays for itself. “How do you know someone owns a Lynk & Co.? They’ll tell you.”
Didn’t bother me, but then again I’m not a lifer VW fanatic.
I would think the dealer would lose more money have a bank financed truck sit around unsold until a new seat shows up.
Clearly this is why the Germans don’t worry that much about long-term reliability.
You seem fun.
There was some point in the last few years of his C/D columns where he seemed to transition into just complaining about shit all the time. I’m not a fan of the nanny state either, but I didn’t want to read about it every month in a car magazine. Usually the only break from that was a few columns about his really old…
Oh I agree this is great engineering. Engineering I don’t think GM of 10 years ago would have bothered with. But given the number of articles on Jalopnik about obnoxiously over-complex and problematic German engines I’m not sure the commentariat is as wowed by the Germans as they used to be.
They can’t really add the Tru-Coat. See, they install that true coat at the factory. There’s nothin’ they can do.
Unfortunately, my Odyssey, like all minivans, comes with the Righteous Indignation function, which requires the driver to pass judgment on anyone that would let their child out of their sight for even a few seconds. Sorry Tesla.
I guess this makes the E21 320i my dad had the Mustang II, as it came between the brilliant original (2002) and the beloved car of the 80s.
“ . . . police struggle to keep up with this POWERFUL sportscar . . . “
Every time I look at the mileage my GTI says I’m getting I find myself wondering about VW shenanigans.
How does it do on the European pedestrian impact test?
