or that making it awd was too expensive...

Semi sleeper! love it...

Oh texas.... lolz

so your telling me, that those guys kinda get it right in hollywood? except the department isnt liable for the damage? wow i should become a federal agent!!!

Insert formula 1 joke here...

Seriously, you should see the cars in rome! rome is one of the most expensive places on earth to insure a car too..

yea, im hoping, or that there would be so much change in efficiency for other engines and models that they allow a certain number of v8s. or even a recapture technology to catch most of the harmful emissions and reuse them as some sort of fuel..

i hope im wrong, and my timeline may be accelerated a bit... so maybe 5 to 10 years from now, i just see it as an eventuality...

give them 3 to 5 years and all we will have left are diesel v8s, by 2020, the corvette will be v6 hybrid...

yes but the g-series was made to pass global standards as far as both engine and chassis/body
the R32/33/34 were never built to be exported to the us and thus, never crash tested in america. If you remember the story of motorex in souther california, they invested a lot of money to crash test these just so they could…

they also have a reputation for bland design that some how grows on you over time... at first your like, “eh, it doesnt look that good”, then you see the new corolla, and the other competitors and then its more like “its doesnt look that bad!”

it was big news in the early to mid 2000s,

yea, but they are only building the v8s out of “habit” (for lack of a better word) People still want them, so they will still build, but if enough people by a turbo6 then the v8 might be on its slow way out even nissan is trying diesel, so everyone is looking for more efficient alternatives, even the smaller v6 toyota…

and because the controllers arent made of recycled, biodegradable, bpe free, paraben free, no lfc, plastic...

hyundai is actually not bad, its just hard to get over the “its a hyundai”

it wont happen, even ford is trying new things... like a turbo 6-cyl f150

and yet, i see the new civics everywhere here in the bay area... i guess people are just buying them for gas mileage and reliability rather than for the fun of it...

i dont think honda has become irrelevant, they have just become irrelevant to enthusiasts...

actually, they were quite reckless, they didnt notify customers about recalls in japan, and were thus banned for 2 years from selling cars in japan. sure it shouldnt have hurt that bad globally, but, this was also around the time of the montero and the eclipse “dirty vegas”/2f2f/Wannabe Ferrari redesign... where they…

most of toyotas engines are either designed, engineered, or even made by yamaha...
