Volvo is more Swedish than ever. Money from China. Parts made in EVERYWHERE.

It’s not like they’re running a Honda engine, so they have that going for them.

I mean all profits go to Japan and that is where their headquarters are, soo, uhh pretty Japanese.

They tick all the boxes as far as I am concerned. They’re Japanese based and far more proud of their heritage than most manufacturers. Its a global car industry, man. Where it’s manufactured does not define a company any more.

Mid engined Gazoo Prius?

Speaking as a Toyota fan and a Star Trek fan, I don’t feel good about someone named Kobayashi driving the car.

This makes me proud to be an employee of Toyota/Lexus. We love racing, and it’s finally showing through. I will be wearing my Toyota/Gazoo Racing jacket all weekend!

2018 Toyota Prius Gazoo LM-R

Absolutely, but at the same time, I can promise you they’ve stress tested literally every goddamn nut, bolt, flange, and seal on the car, from a $10,000 turbo housing to a 75 cent plastic washer. It’s entirely possible that a straight up defect still happens, I mean it’s never outright impossible, but if there’s a…

I genuinely think, especially after last year, that this is the year Toyota does it and wins Le Mans. I wistfully regret that Audi wasn’t there to give the win slightly more heft by beating two teams instead of one other team, but a win is a win.

His manager Flavio is an expert at that

I can only say, I can’t wait for the aftermarket to get ahold of it. Spoon, Mugen, etc. The entire car is screaming to be toned down, smoothed out and made to sound like a proper tuned Honda.

So much large fake. Why not just regular painted bumper over fake? Is this really what it takes to convince people to buy?

Most of the faults of this car are minor annoyances for me but the biggest unforgiveable sin is the GIANT FAKE PLASTIC GRILLES everywhere. They are horrendous and so pointless to me. No need for air flow there? fine, but why make them look like grilles?

Keep wings, the stupidly narrow sidewalls on the tires, the goofy…

holy hell that back end is a styling mess. #ugly... #pontiacaztek

nice looking engine bay, all business.

I can’t get over the styling of the present Civic. I love that you can get a hatchback with 4 doors, but the styling is for children who usually aren’t looking for practicality.

I heard they had Alonso help develop it. They say it’s been engineered to be the fastest car in the field until the last lap.
