Huh, I wasn’t there! I wonder who this other fan is? seriously. call me.

allow me to reiterate:

Oh, holy shit, the rage face worked...! :0

ARRRR!!!! SO>> ANGRY!!!! STEROIDS MAKE ME RAGE!!!!!!!!!!

perhaps, But they’ll still get to feel superior to all the plebs in traffic driving those poor-mobiles... Like Acuras, Accords, Camrys... You know, poor-people cars (a V6 Camry is likely to be faster, more comfortable, and definitely more spacious and cheaper to maintain than a FWD BMW, just in case you didn't see…

based on how well the CLA sells, the torch and pitchfork wielding purists will be far out numbered by the aspirational badge-snob idiots looking to lease a new BMW for less than $400/mo so they can brag about how successful they are.

OK, bear with me now... The “zombie slayer” theme is shite, and has to go, but i like it. I mean it’s awful, but it’s got a Nissan 4x4 chassis, a Chevy V8, and the best looking Eclipse body... I dig it. and for $3000 at least the seller doesn’t seem to be too deluded about the value of a hack job like this... I vote…

I agree, it’s largely unnecessary, and I; like most Jalops, actually prefer to HEAR my engine. But with fewer and fewer things to differentiate a high-end car from a low end car in today’s aspirational market the paths of diminishing returns are all that’re left to the engineers. It’s also significantly CHEAPER than…

reducing the amount of noise OUTSIDE of the cabin, reduces the amount of noise that gets INTO the cabin. The reason to do it this way as opposed to baffles on the hood are for hood weight (imagine lifting a hood that’s covered in an extra 20lbs of plastic), and by mounting it directly to the engine it can more closely…

Here’s an easy proof: Find a common car that has one of these covers and that someone you know might own... like say a current gen Camry or Tacoma V6:

These mostly exist to reduce NVH. The added sound insulation really DOES make a difference, though why you need it in a Rotory is beyond me.

I had an Alfa with a Busso 6 ('92 164-S). It skipped a timing belt tooth when a friend borrowed it and parked it on a hill without using the parking brake. I fixed it. I drove it over 300k miles in the time I owned it, and I would absolutely have another one in a heartbeat. The Timing belt flaw is real... But the rest…

its funny, I can still find no hard proof that this is the case, but: I believe it has to do with advertising regulations. This seems to be the reason the FiST has “more power” in the USA too (look at the engine specs carefully. The US spec FieSTa lists a peak and an overboost figure, guess what? the peak figure is…

Yes. But now I just want a 400HP AWD Fusion ST...

Where’s my damn 690 Adventure?

yep, those vintage Tercells with a stick were quite entertaining little cars. spent a bunch of time behind the wheel of an ex’s ‘86. not powerful, but super light, not sticky but super manageable at the edge, not luxurious, but immaculately assembled. just good little cars, they were but deadly slow with the auto.

rather than the slowloster, i would get an Elantra GT with the panoramic sunroof which still isnt as good to drive as my 2011 Elantra Touring was... or my FieSTa is..
