If that’s the case, shouldn’t other active safety characteristics such as braking distance, traction control, etc. also be part of the equation?

Jewish-American Princess? That’s what it’s used to describe around these parts...

The rear reminds me a lot of the Veloster, which is to say, it’ll have a lot less cargo room than you’d expect out of a hatchback.

It looks like an elephant sat on the back of the old one...which itself looked like it got sat on by a hippo.

TTAC had a pretty good article about what makes the ZF9 such a far cry from the sublime ZF8: https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2014/02/zfs-9-speed-9hp-transmission-puts-dog-clutches-on-the-leash/

ZF9 transmission? No thanks. Having had the displeasure of driving cars with that transmission, I can honestly say I would rather have a CVT. It’s just that bad.

Believe it or not, that intake is actually one of the better and more expensive ones (Eurocompulsion V4).

Today, Abarth denotes amped up editions of select Fiat models, and with the 500 that means a 133 horsepower FIRE turbocharged four and C10 5-speed stick.

Probably safe to say you don’t want to buy any GM products built at these plants after today, right?

I suspect the primary reason this and the G90/Equus exists is so that Hyundai execs can have a nicer corporate car.

Last year’s starting quarterback, Ross Bowers, has been relegated to third-string duty this season

They’re actually quite popular for commuters in the city and people coming in off the train.

There were talks about the ILX getting axed given that it has had lackluster sales. Frankly, I’m surprised it go a 2nd refresh at all.

Value prop becomes even more questionable given that the TLX sells like poo and you can get awesome deals on it. I picked up a new Tech model that stickers at 36K for 28K.

The Si did, yes.

AFAIK the K20 and K24 share the same design, just a different deck height.

If the block is good enough for a Type-R... ;)

To be fair, this version of the K24 has direct injection and only came out in 2013.

Are you sure about that? Honda’s own website says the 9th gen Civic wheelbase is 105.1", the same as the ILX wheelbase.

I was about to say the same thing. The Civic console looks heads and shoulders more premium than the ILX one, especially with all that black plastic.
