No active outside noise cancelling?

So Apple produces devices that can be recycled, and then provides a way and a system for them to get recycled and the E-Waste problem is Apple’s?

I had a 2001 Type SH with that same silvery purple color. Great car, great interior (it looks better at night with the amber/green lighting).

Literally no Alfa’s even for sale on carmax. I think it might be another year or two before they are readily available.

Still no Giulia QVs (or any Alfas for that matter) on Carmax. This will be the deal of the century if you can stomach not driving it half the time.

Look, I like M cars as much as the next guy but you really shouldn’t drink their cool aid. They are compared because (at the time) they were the best sedans both marques had to offer. Additionally, they aren’t as far off as all the M3 folks love to claim. Does the S4 have more street compliance than a more track

Is it really straight piped or is this those magic japanese headers.

340i wasn’t built until 7 years after the S4 of similar vintage to whats being looked at here. Also, no RS4 either. As I said to others, the M3 wasn’t worth $15k more than the S4.

There aren’t any RS4s of the same vintage. I’m well aware that the S4 competes lower but it still doens’t make up for the $15k price difference. I looked for 2 months after my old car was totalled and couldn’t find a 6mt sedan for anywhere near a reasonable price.

I don’t disagree, but you will pay more than the difference in the two cars to find a good S4 vs a decent manual M3 sedan. The M3 is better but its not $15k better.

Not worried about them, just pointing out a potential extra cost that is much cheaper to replace before it fails.

Looked at the e90 and ended up with the S4. The price difference is pretty big between the two and finding a properly priced manual sedan is nearly impossible. These will definitely shoot up in price in the future.

Had one in that awesome silvery purple color. The interior was fantastic and much closer to what you would expect from a JDM conversion than what you got in the civic or integra.

The rules for what is and isn’t an OSHA recordable is pretty cut and dry but that doesn’t mean the injuries are. You can get a recordable if the employee’s wrist hurts and the doctor gives him advil and sends him back to work. You can also not get one for a much more serious injury that the employee chooses not to

No horn emblem? Considering how flawless the rest of the car is that seems odd.

Its clearly stated in the rules. It basically states as long as you retain a single wall it does not trigger new construction.

This statement has to do with permitting and design costs. The rules state that as long as one wall is standing it can be considered a remodel and not new construction. This saves a massive amount of time and money for A&E and permits from the local municipality and is generally considered the best way to do

An old one?

What are you even trying to prove at this point? I provided multiple sources that counter all your biased claims and you just want to drag this out. You can claim some BS brand loyalty but I have owned over 20 vehicles from Japanese car manufacturers (and still currently own some). Most were bought with 150k+ miles on

The 10 most reliable cars is useless info when we are talking about brands. Additionally, I see the notable absence of at least 3 major Japanese automakers from your list while a supposedly unreliable one is on there.
