Welcome to most of the Europe. It’s about that here. We are doing fine as most of the cars that are driven for longer ranges are diesels and in-town stuff is small hatchbacks that get excellent fuel economy even in-city driving. And of course EV:s are rising.

Mjea, it wasn’t half bad apart from the Viciouses hairdo.

Well where does people assume they would get the money then to run this stuff? There are employees, facilities and webservices involved that all costs money.

Interesting chart, but doesn’t really tell the whole story. Fe we (finland) get all of our LPG from Russia, however it’s only used for city busses, which most are being converted to use biogas (methane, from farms & composting stuff) mostly for environmental issues. Methane (that would be othervise released) is way…

It was mentioned in the presentation that it’s fully waterproof, you can hose down the interior. So perhaps they’ll offer offroad package and liftkit in the future for US market :D.

Mjea, atleast here in the northern Europe lack of wagon model has really hurt them. Still most of the A4, 3/C-series class are sold as wagons. Also previous 159 mostly sold as a wagon. I personally had one, and I would like to have a Giulia, but I have no use for sedan. And I don’t care much for crossovers, and the…

To my eyes that’s not smoke, it’s dusty snow in the air. Also kinda obvious, but I guess not to all, you should not go faster than you can stop within visible area.

Mjea, Norway isn’t really that cold as it’s mostly coastal stuff with ocean that doesn’t freeze. It’s fun to drive from Finnish side to Norway and it’s -30C in this side and -3C in Norvegian side (mountain range keeps the warm moist air on their side).

Add small tax to electricity.

I would also point out that most of the expensive offroaders might not be used offroad by the first 5-10  years and first user. I would say their intended life starts after that.

Personally I think English language has phonetically detoriarated way too much to be handy at the moment. I mean I’ve never heard any finn asking how some finnish word or name is spelled.

Your wrong opinion is noted and disregarded :D.

Sorry, but Alfa 33 Stradale has the best butt in the business. 928 has nice, but this is in different league. The 33 Stradale is not just pretty butt, but prettiest vehicle ever done.

I’m pretty sure the whole thing was about toys since the new hope. I mean as a kid from the eighties SW toys were hot as shit.

Nice Ford Fairline reference :D.

Not bad, but prepare to pay a 1€/km outside US for fuel alone.

Mjea, I cannot remember when I saw last new Subie here. 2 or 3 years a go?

Um, shoudn’t they first resurrect the Holden?

Mjea, Subaru is in weird limbo. Apart from BRZ they don’t really have anything desirable.

At one point they had semi-indestructable reputation. The second gen Forester had tractor-like interior that promised a lot of durability. Unfortunately the engines weren’t that durable, they were rather thirsty and even the…

Mjea, and those AT tires even with snow symbol aren’t really much of a winter tyre. I’ve got BFG T/A KO2:s as summer tyre in my RRC and every autumn and first little bit slippery conditions they are sketsy as hell. Sure, pure snow they are almost passable, but add any ice and they are useless. My studded winter tyres…
