Because Mitsubishi is a sinking ship and they want to ride it out to the bottom...

Lets not forget that you still need to power this “city of tomorrow” and windmills and solar panels and dogs walking on treadmills aren’t going to cut it. Neither will burning hydrocarbons because, lets face it, you all think it’s too dirty.

Kinda looks like a Jaguar XF

Amazing if you’re suffering from cataracts. 

The Japanese auto-industry went from being super cool to being about as interesting and old as oatmeal. It’s like they’ve accepted the inevitability of death and have decided to simply wait for it and to pass the time they make some generic cars. Hell I can walk into a FORD showroom and see like 6 different…

Not in... but ON- like them drifter folks do. Two rears at least. If you throw out the passenger seat you can stuff two more.

You don’t travel enough do you?

America is only allowing Mazda (oh, poor Mazda) to bring the diesel over so they can then sue them for cheating emissions and destroying a national park. Foreign automakers will eventually get fed up with the US, tell them to go screw themselves, and stop selling vehicles in the country.

Can confirm. Used to own one.

So then a real fucking sequential transmission.

This isn’t a cheat. Stop calling it a cheat. Engineers can only interpret regulations and comply with standards within what is physically and mechanically possible. You guys want reduced fuel consumption and emissions yet get pissed that the automakers are actually “cheating” because the engine or transmission…

1st Gear: “It will be interesting to see if this one blows up like the TDI mess did or if it’s a non-starter.”

You lot do realize that every single automaker resorting to turbocharged small displacement engines are cheating emissions tests right? The regulatory bodies placed emissions standards and engineers developed a way around it through forced induction. Why? Well those emissions tests are never run in those turbo cars at…

Holy shit you guys.

They are paddles. And they flap.

Electric cars won’t replace internal combustion for a number of reasons. One of which is specific energy density and the other is the economic impact of removing thousands of jobs.

Ugh. Such a load of shit.

“If significant battery recharging tech doesn’t advance much in the next 10-15 years...”

“The electric car could completely eliminate the oil industry, and it won’t even take a complete lack of gasoline-powered cars to do it.”
