500X owner here, and I love the bike. It’s my first, but after owning it for a year and a half, I have never needed more power. My insurance is liability only, so I pay $100/year. Sure, I’m fucked if I total it or it gets stolen, but it wasn’t *that* expensive

You don’t think you have an obligation to pay attention when stopped at a red light? I guess you’re one of those awesome people that don’t pull away until someone honks at you...

An ST Fusion with the turbo 4, FWD and a 6 speed manual would be epic. Shouldn’t be *that* hard to transfer the Focus ST drivetrain to a Fusion...

For that much money the Subaru engine should have a turbo on it!

Jesus, when your 1988 top model sports car has 140 horses from 2.8L, your engineering team is pretty damn lazy.

This is why manual gearboxes are better. No chance of leaving the car in gear and having it roll away (unless it’s a viper, probably)

Power Take-Off. A shaft spinning from engine power to operate accessories such as a claw or scoop (thru hydraulics)

Man, if anyone deserved to snap a few suspension mounts against a curb, it’s this asshat. I guess carma isn’t real

C4 Corvette 6 speeds were down+right. C5 and C6 were up+right. C7 7-speed is back to down+right.

My Tacoma 5 speed is far right and back so I’m biased, but it just makes sense to pull *back* on the lever when you’re about to go *backwards*

Ah, ze Germans. Never change.

If you never need more than 1 passenger, a Lotus Exige would compare better to a Cayman. Evora, like a 911, has a tiny back seat.

$1,700 for Lithium-Ion? Motorcycles have had a healthy aftermarket for those batteries for a while and they run about 2x of what lead acid ones cost. #markup

The front is awesome! A little too much Jag XJ mixed with Accord coupe in the back. If they can bring it to production without losing too much of the design, they will have a winner.

News at 11! Coupe looks better than sedan.

Tuning is not necessary with FI.

Holy shit I love that! Thanks! * starts saving $ *

I wish they made a simpler (cheaper) one with less power and a manual transmission

Calling the first guy a garbage rider is way harsh. In stop and go riding it’s natural to be close to the car ahead. I don’t think I would have the reflexes to discern between a car coming up behind me and one that’s out of control.

Cynic much? Every fucking person (riders & drivers) *should* complain loudly about bad riders & drivers. If I see someone act like an idiot with no concern for fellow motorists, I will tell them when we come to a red light. And then I will bitch on social media. I don’t really care if it bores you.
