Yeah but the average Joe doesn’t want to yank his car bumper after work to replace a bulb… and that is going to cost at a dealer.

And still much worse than far easier ways, like just making them accessible from the engine bay or making the headlight cover removable without removing a painted body panel. Also, it’s sounds like the implementation on your Golf wasn’t too bad. I’m sure you’d be shocked to know GM’s implementation on the Malibu was a…

What is so hard about the Mustang cabin air filter? It looks like a 5 minute deal to do in the 5 minute video. You are not tearing apart the dashboard, it’s behind the glovebox as I’ve seen in a handful of other cars. Way easier than getting out of the grays here.

If it doesn’t sound like a Jetsons car I don’t want it.

Maybe if you still don’t get it, it’s a bit disingenuous to call ME pedantic. 

C&D also found the Veloster N engine pretty tight initially. It was considerably quicker at 40k miles. Also didn’t have all the damage and destruction to the wheels, tires, and brakes the Civic R had.

“Turns out, you are not the demographic for the Type R.”

What demographic is that? Someone who wants to relive their best high school days because they sustained brain injuries and their taste and style stopped maturing at puberty?

“and then there was the whole dilemma of fracking.”

I wanted to want the Civic Type R, but I couldn’t get past the boy racer Fast and Furious styling. I’m 41. I can’t be seen in this car without looking like the Steve Buscemi meme.

The warranty doesn’t hurt, either. Neither VW nor Honda offer what Hyundai does in that sense. Not sure how many people will actually keep their ENs long enough for that to matter, but you can bet for some it will be an actual purchase reason.

So if you want a reasonably sized N with a hatch opening, you get a Kona.

Um, the type R is one of the worst looking cars made since the Aztek.

It’s incredibly busy. You shouldn’t design a car that only looks really good in black.

It’s hideous. Pimp My Ride would have been embarrassed to turn that out. Though they would have appreciated the floppy wing.

This thing looks like a four-door catfish Camaro with the Dodge crossbar.

i disagree. this looks bad to me.

He’s not confused on the technology, he’s pointing out that it’s impossible for virtual (anything) to be more realistic than actual reality, which is the claim the quoted text makes.

It looks like Zorro was on the body design team...

I’d do the opposite.... buy this and get rid of the wing and all the other stupid boy-racer crap so it looks like a normal car.
