Came here to say this. Although engine covers appeared on vehicles before NVH was “a thing”.

Actually engine covers are now part of NVH control...

you forgot one more... the average customer. What the average customer wants and is willing to pay for is usually what get’s spec’ed. It doesn’t matter if there is one car enthusiast that wants the 2.5L STi drivetrain in the BRZ. If the average customer doesn’t want it.

He is 4 year’s old so basically anything with a wing. As for reliable? Anything with a Toyota/Honda/Subaru badge. Unique? you’re kinda shit out of luck there because anything reliable is ussually mass produced. So get a “special edition” i.e. STi.

Actually...the A pillars did a pretty good job of compressing the suspension and “lifting” the trailer. I wonder if the trailer was loaded or unloaded.

STi oil cap!

They’re worse than “grounded to the ground”.

“Consumers get the best deals because of competition between dealerships—in sales and service—and that doesn’t happen in Tesla stores.”. Well if there are no dealers then there isn’t a need to compete over which dealer makes the least mark-up.

also is there enough rubber laid out for a qualifying speeds?

The grille is painted. It is not “mold in color” black....and actually it’s a fairly expensive pearled paint.

I like it...there I said it!

I’m really digging the “movement” in this new grille.

I thought the article was going to be about autonomous pace car.....meh....

“loses his shit”... apparently we need a phrase to describe “takes it pretty well”.

1st gear: China can have a technical rival to the Tesla Model 3. However what they don’t have is a brand. And THAT is what sells Teslas.

WRX STi Spec-C for the win

If you have to finance your leisure activity...then maybe...just maybe...you can’t afford said activity.

I was just there last month. Somehow I missed the history garage.
