What is the power output at various altitudes? How’s the brake fade down mountain roads? How well does it do potholes?

A bump in power would be nice, but can it be naturally aspirated red-line-revving-sillyness? That’s the only way it will feel like Honda’s of yore.

CP - Diesel, check. Wagon, check. Manual trans, whaaa!!! NOOOOOO! Price, you gotta be F kidding me, right?

Yes, the Civic is “faster” and more “livable” with that low-end turbo torque, but it doesn’t leave you feeling anything. The Integra broke records with it’s naturally aspirated engine - if nothing else, it’s a homage to a time when Honda/Acura was at it best.

Sure, but can it be had in “Camry Gold” with a pre-installed bumper dent for extra stealthyness?!

Two types of people will buy this: Wealthy dooms day preppers & Floridians

@David Tracy - perhaps this could be something Jalop writes about for all the foreign cars we lust... who would be the ideal re-badger of the Citroen Cactus, Renault Twizy and Twingo, Fiat Panda, Peugot 308 GTi... etc.

@David Tracy - who would be the perfect US partner for a re-badging? I’m oddly thinking Polaris or Yamaha, but could they get these suzies street legal?! How can we make this happen...

Seems he’ll eventually graduate to something like this... just natural progression

*EDIT: heels.

@ Andrew P. Collins - does it come with the Civic Type R’s torque vectoring technology? A traditional - mechanical - LSD? How does it handle all that power to the front wheels?

spacers and flares,

The 850i is a fantastic choice if you have a BMW dealer nearby and a trust fund to spend on maintenance. The Audi S5 is nice, but it’s so “everyday”. You want something for the weekend -  something that says “IT’S SATURDAY IN OHIO, BITCHES!”

How’s rear passenger comfort on base model? I’ll really only ever be in these if they have an uber/lyft sticker on the front window.

Does anyone else really miss the weather-band (WB) radio button from Subarus? I really enjoyed that frequency back in the day.

The Stinger GT should be sold in the new genesis showrooms (whenever that happens)... they might be able to offer the lexus/infiniti type of sales service.

Aftermarket car headlights that are waaay to bright for the specific car’s ride-height and headlamp angle. They are a serious safety risk as they blind other drivers. Stick to OEM!!!

1st Gear: Most sub-compact US cars feel cheap; any ‘upscale’ trims generally fail to hide the punch-bowl-turd. They are plasticy and forgo cabin refinement. What if a US manufacturer sold a new small car that felt like an E30 325is did in 1987?! For perspective, the Fiesta sedan and E30 sedan are practically the same

The fusion sport - for what it is - gets terrible MPG, and requires premium. I’m not saying it’s a bad car, it’s just not a gas sipper.
