I understand the whole “dictate which technologies thrive” part, but to say that electric vehicles are thriving is a bit of a stretch. Alternative energies need the help because otherwise they’d flounder. The internal combustion engine and the oil companies that benefit from their use have had one hundred years of…

The white blocks the 850s have are beefy blocks. Those cars need the LS swap less than other cars. Also, there’s iPD for you.

Toyota/Lexus is one of my least favorite manufacturers. But sweet baby jesus I do love this car.

It’s certainly more luxurious than the cars I listed. Sure, any car remotely like the ones I listed will have power everything (maybe not seats), but they sure as hell won’t have the sound insulation or the over abundance of luxury materials the M2 will have. It's still a luxury car and we all know it.

Extra sound insulation, better materials, power everything... how else do you explain all that weight?

It is painfully obvious to me that you didn’t comprehend my post. The only resemblance between the Fiesta and M2 is the size and the Fiesta is considerably lighter. That is all.

It seems that 3411 was the stripped, European model with no nav or power seats.

Cars that weigh less: Ford Focus RS, Subaru WRX STi, VW GTI, Golf R...

Not that these cars are comparable in anything but size, but the Fiesta ST weighs 2,745 lbs.

This may be surprising to some...

Just awesome.

It’s unique, sure. I’m just not sold on it’s looks. I have always liked the original, though.

I see what you did there.

Sooo... this M2 or a Mustang GT350/GT350R?

I am in the US and we do not get the i10. We do, however, get the Accent; which is closer to a Lexus than a Geo.

Either you’ve not been in a modern Hyundai, or you never drove/owned a Geo Metro in the 1990's. Your assessment of Hyundai is quite inaccurate.

Seeing Pee-Wee being terrified in that gif feels so gratifying. I might be a terrible person. But probably not.

It’s not a real Italian supercar unless it’s on fire...

My parents told me I would never be allowed to own a motorcycle.
