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?

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.

Honda, the power of dreams.
So what’s up with Ferraris and fire anyway? It’s like Mustangs and crowds.

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.

The no socks thing and murse pisses me off.
I have a sudden urge to hail Hydra, or something.
On my 2010 speed 3, it’s the same - push down and under the detente to the upper left. Almost impossible to select reverse by mistake when you meant to select 1st because you have to overcome the spring pressure, and if you accidentally shift into 1st gear from 4th or 6th, it had better be from a super slow speed, or…
