    Hey... any idea if a turbo V6 version of that engine is making its way into the IS line anytime?

    V8 or GTFO

    Is the turning circle really worse than the Focus RS’? I thought that was not the case. Can you clarify how it felt on the road when you test drove it, vs the Focus?

    Is that the same engine in this new 2018 Camry? It sounds like it - 3.5L, V6 with D4S direct and port injection, 300+ HP...

    Stock smoker is right, that piece of shit on my genpu blew out on me in Jun 2015 (fortunately warrantied). I wanted the Focus RS as well, but $58k CAD (after Ontario tax) is way too much for what you get. Why does the RS have even less cargo space? Because they kluged in the rear diff and a 3 piece driveshaft (and a

    Subaru WRX STI.

    Nissan is the Chrysler of Japan, so this is completely unsurprisingly to me.

    I still have a gen 2, which has a LSD and equal length half shafts, and there is indeed torque steer even after installing 3 stiffer engine mounts. However it isn’t enough to yank the wheel out of your hands or anything like that. It’s most noticeable when going wide open throttle in 2nd gear. It’s sort of exciting,

    Are we going to see this engine (in some form, but turbocharged) on the IS series?

    The wheels were off by 1.5 psi

    Nice car, but FWD and will cost like $50k in Canada. No thanks, Honda.

    Courageous

    Honda, the power of dreams.

    So what’s up with Ferraris and fire anyway? It’s like Mustangs and crowds.

    In your opinion, would you trust the new FA engine in the next gen STI? I’m currently waiting for the next gen STI in hopes of the FA engine making its way under the hood, but I’m starting to wonder if I shouldn’t just look elsewhere to get my AWD kick without fear of my engine grenadine underneath me.

    Precisely -1 of them.

    The no socks thing and murse pisses me off.

    Whenever I see a staff roster full of horn rim glasses, a staff line up of smug faces, a staff photo with an overabundance of hipster trash ... I really just wanna nuke the crap out of it!
