If that extra 4 horsepower can be accomplished simply by tuning, why not give the Subaru car the same tune?

there is some regional variation in used car pricing too.

Bought my ‘11 FJ Cruiser new in March 2011 for $31.5K. Moved to Colorado for offroading, put $13K in mods into it — bumpers, roof rack, steel armor, lift, wheels / tires etc. I was offroad 26 weekends that first year, 20 weekends the second year. I’ve done the vast majority of the named trails in the state. Helped…

They imply it could handle Black Bear pass by Telluride

If enthusiasts truly want unique performance cars, then perhaps they should consider buying them new often enough to make those cars financially feasible.

Engine tuning and changing gearing sound like big investments for little discernible reward

If I had $160K to spend on a car that I woould heep for >10 years, though, I would consider the NSX over a 911 (but I’d probably be just as happy with a Lexus LC500 and a Toyota Highlander).

Reading...

It’s the Bronco Sport, not the Bronco, and sure they “tested it in extreme conditions” but...it’s the Bronco Sport. Figuring out that driveline parts from the Ford Escape aren’t suited to any version of “offroading” isn’t a bug, it’s the whole point.

No, it doesn’t. The car charger comes with an adapter, but I’ve never needed a non-Tesla charger.

It isn’t enough to just provide the chargers every few miles.

I’m going to assume that’s Marble to Crystal, and not Schofield Pass? We used to do an annual camping trip at those spots along the river before the mill, until they all got posted as private property. They even put a fence up at the mill and made taking photos a giant pain.

A long drive in the Model Y is just as relaxing, or perhaps even more so, than an S Class or A8. Effortless acceleration, quiet, tight driving and comfortable seats all helped me achieve a state of calm. Even encounters with heavy traffic were handled in a hushed and relaxing manner. It’s unparalleled, really.

Lima Sierra (LS), the sedan:

I was moving to Colorado to get into offroading, and the LS can’t go here:

Obviously, Koenigsegg needs to hire this guy.

Trading an ‘07 Lexus LS460 on a new ‘11 FJ Cruiser.

Not amazing MPG, but not terrible.
