Subaru’s SVTs are much better, and people say Honda’s are good, too (though they use “steps” to mimic a normal transmission, so I’m not really sure what the point is.)

Europe’s bros came to the same conclusion.

Which is why Honda offers the Civic wagon in Europe, but not the Pilot or Odyssey.

I had a CVT for a while and I honestly believe CVT > Automatic. I hate torque converters with such a passion...

Theoretically CVTs should be dominant too if they could handle the power of a strong engine. Could you imagine Towing or Racing at peak power output all the same?

Liftbacks are hatchbacks too.

Somewhere at Honda HQ a designer was bored out of their skull, idly playing with an image of a Civic, changing aspect ratios, stretching it, shrinking it, just generally pissing around. All of a sudden, a senior manager walked up behind him, and asked “what’s that your working on, that looks sharp”. The other…

Finally, a car for all 12 of us who have a soft spot for mid 90s Pontiac styling.

I... I can’t tell if I like this or hate this. Can someone tell me?

I’m guessing they were sold to the highest bidder at the annual Louisville Réfrigérateurs d’elegance

Nooooooooooooo way one of these 380 US Spec turds is a manual, never. unpossible.

this car is so pretty it’s actually made me angry

In ‘83 the Japanese manufacturers still hadn’t recovered from the mechanically brilliant, but rust magnet cars they “had” been sending here. Throw in the Midwest domestic slant and it makes sense. An ‘83 Jetta, or better yet an ‘83 Sirocco would…

Check out the supercharged NSX. 13:47 in.

Old NSX: Flip-up headlights

While the VWs aren’t “Clean” they do not emit particulates and still have that filter intact. The nitrogen oxides are bad and cause ozone(in the wrong place) and contribute to Acid Rain. However, rolling coal requires removing the particulate filter, which is VERY bad for people directly.

Also, PS, I had to read your comment again to really catch the gigantic error in it...the legislative branch makes laws, the judicial brand adjudicates laws. So your suggestion that the debate be kept in the legislative branch is utterly ridiculous, because if it became law then you have to go to court for it!

“trying to lower diesel emissions on ocean-going cargo vessels”

Vin just realized that Diesel exists. Was that a pun? :D

What they are doing IS AGAINST THE LAW.
