The Peugeot 508 looks better, especially the short wheelbase regular model, and is probably going to get the same hybrid system. The 508 comes in wagon form as well. They really do look great too, but the engine choices are pretty bad, the 6-speed only comes with a 130hp diesel engine and even if Citröen does build a…

We have autonomous little robots that deliver groceries and stuff around near me. They are really slow and really careful around all the crosswalks and intersections but they do seem to work and from what I’ve seen they manage crossing busy roads etc quite fine. I believe they just rolled out a robot snow plow too.

As they are rolling down the mountain you can hear Martin ask Ott if there are any bodies of water at the bottom they should be worried about. It wasn’t so much the string of impacts they were afraid of, it was having to get out of another drowning rally car it seems. Looked up the place on google maps and sure…

Dirtfish just partnered with Tänak and I believe they are trying to achieve just that. Ott owns a rally team here in Estonia so maybe though that but something is cooking. 

Wish you guys had more WRC coverage this season. A lot of team changes this year, a fresh new champ, new events this year, etc.

Oh it’s very real alright. They totaled at least 4 of them if not more.
They shot parts of the movie in my home town and I’ve seen pictures of what was left of the cars. They all ended up in the scrapyard.

WRC all weekend long baby. It has been an absolute thriller of a season and it’s possible that for the first time after 15 years the champion is not going to be French or named Sebastian.

Just to rub it in a little, this is the current Renault Talisman in glorious wagon form. The sedan version looks great too. Also, Google the new Megane RS. It’s too bad really that you can’t get them in the states. 

Chris Harris, in his review of the Tesla Model S, said that the car didn't like bumpy roads at high speed and you could see it in the video. It would come off a bump, float for a while and then come down hard. Flugplatz at full tilt in that car does not sound fun. 

All good man, I was joking also. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well online.

Before you get too carried away, oh powerful American who has been made great again, know that it will take no longer than it takes to ship it over the pond, throw some euro market amber lights from an ecoboost mustang on and get it checked at the local “dmv” equivalent, to get this thing registered and road legal…

Well, Red Bull did sell 6.8 billion cans of that expensive piss last year so its not really surprising.

My old BMW E34 wagon had two buttons, one for the entire hatch and one for the rear glass only. Your article reminds me that this should be a thing more often and I also now have one more thing to complain about on my Audi, thanks.

He recently did a 2 hour podcast with Joe Rogan on mostly the same subject. It was very interesting to listen to them speak as Rogan sees a lot of the same issues in the UFC. He seemed like a really cool dude too.

As Dirt Addiction said, to keep the engine running when standing still. You’re still driving a manual of sorts, you just shift it different. Dual clutch gearboxes and the early single clutch “F1" versions are just manuals with a computer actuated clutch or clutches where the sequential is a manual you can abuse at…

Not sure what you mean by hybrid. The clutch is there and works pretty much like any other clutch would, it’s just that the gears are changed in sequence from 1st to last and back down again using either paddles or a stick like for example the WRC2 cars still have. Can’t skip a gear as far as I know. It’s the way the…

The DSG clutches are controlled by a computer at any given time. With the sequential box, the driver uses the clutch to take off and from there on changes gears sans clutch. Different kind of cogs in the box allow clutchless gear changes. Sometimes you’ll even see race car drivers use the clutch to downshift. This is…

I mean, you are not totally wrong but this is not what we were talking about really and the topic of Jews in Europe deserves at least its own thread, if not more, probably somewhere else than here on Kotaku.

The double standards shown here are huge. As someone from an ex-USSR country I can tell you that while blackface may be understood to some degree, we don’t really care, as it’s not something we have dealt with.

Something we have dealt with, is generations worth of Soviet occupation that hurt absolutely all of us. Shit,…

Yeah, that I can live with. Speaking of RHD UK imports, I’d rather get a manual Lexus IS300. I believe they only came in RHD. 6-speed, NA 2JZ, LSD, all (most) of the great letter combinations, they also came as wagons. Cheap cars and bikes are what the UK is good for, at least pre brexit.
