A liftback?

Keep your voice down, my roommates are sleeping.

Not cashing in on the SAAB rush of 2036. It’s like you hate money.
/s.

It totally is worth it!

Agree completely, my original comment was meant to be sarcastic. However, I would hope that the bottom of the battery tray is armored/reinforced significantly against penetration/deformation.

Just need Billy Idol to Sawzall a sunroof in it.

“There really hasn’t been a strut tower brace for a supercharger yet?”

It makes a nice wide lift point to lift the vehicle with a floor/bottle jack.

Looks like a crossover to me.

That’s true but then you would have to take into account the impact of the production of the batteries, and keeping a car on the road vs manufacturing a new one / the manufacturing impact between the vehicle models.

I would take a Golf over an Insight, but I guess thats because I actually enjoy driving.

Already addressed, take it up with Autoblog.

Where are you finding that high of a torque number? The highest I can find is 99 lb-ft SAE Net Torque.

Got that number on Autoblog, Car and Driver has 7.7 for combined output. Sorry about the mix up.

I’ll give you my shifter when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

“ The new insight uses less fuel (and gas, not dirty diesel), accelerates better, is quieter, safer, feature-packed, etc. There’s almost no comparison, besides some basic dimensional specs, but I’m not sure if that’s what you meant.” 

No mileage to adjust, the Mk4 Golf TDIs stopped being build a decade before diesel-gate and were not connected to the scandal.

After my first post I started thinking more about the specs on the 2019 insight and honestly I’m not sure if I should be disappointed in the insight or proud of how well the Golf TDI has held up.

The old one at least looked interesting and as you said had a manual option. My buddy has one that he is thinking about selling. I may have to consider picking it up.

350 hp is the sweet spot for some fun dick swinging.
