It’s not so much a front engine car, it’s a mid-front engine car... The hood is so long because the whole engine sits behind the front wheels to shift the weight of the engine towards the middle of the car to try to balance the car’s weight distribution... If it weren’t for the long hood, they’d have never gotten this…

I think VW was just the first one to get caught with their pants down.

I’m now starting to wonder if anyone has bother to look into their non-Diesel engines.

I don’t get the love for this car. It just looks awkward and long and wrongly proportioned. All I see is this:

You should do a counter article of 10 Cars People Think are Ugly but Aren’t.

Why is this awkward looking penis-car not number one? This thing is hideous.

Good news Fred, I know you’ve been complaining about the back breaking labor, low pay, and repetition, so I decided to give you next week off! In fact, why not take the rest of your life off too!

Yup diesel at that...you could be completely independent of gas stations if you had cooking oil too.

Agreed. Not to go all sociobiology on you so soon after lunch, but we are Homo ludens, the game-playing ape, and if you give us a system of rules, we will figure out how to turn them to our advantage. It isn’t what we do so much as what we are.

This is called cycle-beating and all manufacturers have been doing it for years.

This is the free money for shuttle parts providers deal right?

Is there anyone that honestly doesn’t think other car companies are “NOT” doing this.. gas or diesel. The only smart software engineers aren’t at VW exclusively. Since VW does diesel for others — Audi is caught already, others will follow I bet! You know this has got to go further than just VW. I bet a lot of other…

If males didn’t exist, Feminists would find a way to create them just to have something to blame.

A soccer mom in a 5,000 pound car tank that does 0-60 in the low 3’s scares the SHIT out of me.

My hell, I want that.

Oh for fucks sake. That test is total BS anyway. It’s not a real world test by a long shot. Every manufacture does it.
