Not gonna lie - I totally forgot that they raced the MC12.

The purpose of the MC12 was homologation. 

This is America where a man who asks for money to turbo his newly bought Lambo gets to be mocked and ridiculed by the very public he is asking money from.

“Heavily modified” or not, this platform will be older than 15 years. The Z car is an FM platform car, which dates back to the 2001 model year Skyline. It’s first iteration in North America was the Infiniti G35 in 2002. The 350Z came out in 2002, but was technically a 2003 model year. By the time the proposed “400Z”…

We have one such WRX because my wife wanted a WRX but didn’t want the hassle of shifting in stop-and-go traffic. It’s abysmal. The junkyard is probably the nicest place that transmission should go.

If Subaru will put a CVT in the WRX I can’t assume any manufacturer has any common sense about where CVTs belong.

You’d be wrong. It was rare because of it’s cost and it was very fast for the time period. It was also extremely durable and reliable.

I thought that engine was manufactured by Mercury Marine.

But the transmission choices will remain extremely bad.

Mitsubishi RVR, what happened to you? You used to be cool man!

“It’s funny that whenever something is working in management’s favor it’s always just a one-time “special case” situation.”

While all very similar for sure, isn’t the Monocage (particularly Monocage2) sufficiently different from the Monocell as to be considered a true generational change, making this their third gen in 10 years? Honest question. Getting in a Monocage and then a Monocell2 back to back, they certainly feel substantively…

I’m not happy that CUVs have taken over the market that once belonged to many sedans and almost all wagons. I can understand why people prefer them, however.

“With the Arteon, we already have a style leader in the segment. This leaves the door open for the Passat to become even more space-orientated than today’s model.”

Again, the gift that keeps on giving.

Very thought provoking
