Yeah I’ve been corrected a couple times already. I should’ve known better, to be honest. I’m a former R55 owner. I commented before checking the headlights, and noticing it’s definitely Gen 1...

Yeah my bad on that. Another commentor mentioned I was wrong, and that’s true. I hadn’t looked at the side shot to notice the angle of the headlights (which is the easiest tell for the supercharged vs turbocharged S models).

My bad, you’re right. I didn’t notice the angle of the headlights until you mentioned I was wrong!

Pre-refresh turbos had the most engine troubles. This is one of those. The timing chain tensioner, no matter how many times they “revised” it with a TSB, would back itself out of the engine block - and expose an oil channel behind it. You’d lose timing, and drain all of your oil, at the same time. The N18 in the 2011…

This would be CP even if it didn’t have the N14 engine, and its notorious habit of losing its timing chain tensioner, along with all the oil, while driving.

Meh. EV go brrrr.... I get that this is the “hot” version of this one, but honestly I’m a bit burnt out on caring how much horsepower an EV has. It’s been their sole selling point beyond being electric the whole time, and it’s just become boring as a metric. I’d rather have 200hp and double the range, than 600hp and…

First one of those I’ve seen that I didn’t think looked awful. The ones I’ve seen in the real world look like someone said, “take the Charger, and give me the plain mashed potatoes version of it”.

I’m sure, but it’s still the most fitting sentiment.

“Beautifully milled piece of ash” has a bit of a similar smug air as, “rich corinthian leather”.

The same is true of Zuck courting Trump and the alt-right. They’re also-rans. Wannabes. Pretenders to a throne that nobody should be proud to sit on in the first place.

Right?! That’s always been the funniest thing about it, to me. Even if it weren’t just complete snake-oil, due to the nature of where the “mass” is, and whether or not your car actually has to work to move it, the difference in mass between atmosphere and pure nitrogen is in the fractions of a single ounce per tire -…

I can’t believe charging for nitrogen in the tires is still a thing. What a racket...

Yeah from what my buddy said, they aren’t marketing them well at all. Nissan tries to market everything based on its performance, when 90% of the market for vehicles like this is people looking for transportation appliances, and the performance buyers aren’t looking at crossovers.

Looks like the story wasn’t as cut and dry as the original post I’d read led me to believe. There’s a good bit of douchery from the guy who bought one on salvage auction...

Doesn’t Domino’s have a history of trying to get the buyers of these to destroy them, because proprietary somethingorother?

If the US government has gravatic propulsion, why are they still launching their spy vehicles of unknown purpose on boring old rockets?

We’re in Detroit. It’s cold here right now. I didn’t feel the steering wheel, but if my fancy new car had heated seats that only got as warm as his did, I’d be pretty disappointed in it. They got warm, but not like...keep you warm while your heater core warms up warm. I had better heated seats in my 2000 Beetle, and…

A buddy of mine with one of these came by the other day. It’s pretty decent, overall. His main gripes were that the heated seats and steering wheel both kinda suck compared to...well every other car he’s ever had, and the infotainment has a lot of UX issues (whose doesn’t?).
