You and I clearly have different definitions of fast then.

I was actually talking about those first vehicles you referenced. The Fusion ironically, is the Mondeo; you do get what you pay for there, not really a fair comparison with the 5 series.

Yeah it could be fun with 120HP, except that loaded Mazda 3 has a terrible power to weight ratio.

Power to weight ratio.

Can someone tell me if the cells are individually replaceable and easy to source, at a reasonable price? If so, this article totally just changed my opinion of hybrids.

They're limited like that because you have to step up to a higher speed rated tire. Anything beyond an H tends to be dramatically more expensive, assuming said tires are even available for your vehicle. Also, gotta keep the insurance co's happy. There actually aren't many vehicles that will go beyond 120 with a

10 year loans have been around for a while now, on qualifying purchases at least.

I'll tell you what happened to all these endangered cars: Cash for Clunkers

My girlfriend's dad has one of these sitting in his barn with a bunch of paint cans on it.

Chevy Beretta INDY, hands down one of the most 90's cars ever.

Here's why I say this: this new Golf R, the fastest and most powerful Golf ever built, has all the stuff we've ever asked for in our R models in one vehicle, as opposed to the mishmash of good and bad and strange we've had in the past.

Any lifted truck has its rated towing capacity negatively impacted, to what degree is anyone's guess with an aftermarket lift.

No its supposedly the other way around, the EB engine in the new Raptor is all new and the same family as the new Ford GT engine. Its going to have the same "anti-lag" port/direct injection setup as the new GT engine as well, so they're at least sharing similar head designs.

I can average 16MPG in my 6.2L Raptor if I keep my foot out of it. Only seen below 13MPG when doing offroad adventures or towing a horse trailer.

You can always remove the PCV from the intake and re-route it to a catch can.

Sounds like you wanted an F150 Tremor. The Raptor wasn't at all built to do impressive 1/4 mile sprints with 35" tires and soft long-travel suspension. You're probably the first person that ever actually cross-shopped an SUV with a pre-runner style pickup.

I don't know about that, Toyota and Honda are both pretty damn boring these days. Do they have anything like the Z or GT-R? No, just grocery getters, besides the FR-S.

Just wow...

I get that, especially if you don't ever work on your own vehicle, but I see it differently...

If you even have to install some sketchy "codec pack" to watch anything "free" online, that is a huge red flag. Best case its adware, worst case it's a rootkit.
