And the fastback version of a Volvo wagon-the Saab 9000 turbo... nearly 60 cubic ft. of cargo, 150mph, 30+mpg (u can use regular too)

I can't attest to the accuracy of what others have claimed, as I'm not a consumer. I was referring to Colorado's pricing versus street prices elsewhere, but I assume it's very location dependent. So, in California, the legal (medical) stuff is more expensive? I have heard from multiple people that the price dropped in…

From what I've been told, CO's legal and TAXED marijuana is cheaper than all illicit street prices elsewhere. The black market economy does nothing to lower anybody's taxes except for the freeloaders who avoid paying their fair share on their illegal income. It's also damaging to legitimate small business owners when…

Quicker steering rack from the STI, but definitely not the inverted strut suspension or brakes. Suspension tuning was different than US WRX. Spring rates,dampers, and some bushings are different, as it was supposedly tuned by Saab (or some other GM entity). I think lower spring rate with more damping control was the…

Chrysler used a De Dion tube- leaf springs are usually the give-away. Didn't know about the Suzuki or the Panda. Wow that would be amazingly pathetic if any Jeep 4x4 came with a twist beam axle.

can't have a torsion beam if it's 4x4, right?

no

made in Indiana?

Exactly. I've said it before and I'll repeat it...it's a sad day when Subaru doesn't even offer a wagon anymore.

Wow, I really hope you're not confusing the Iron Maiden with Milka Duno!

I'd say JEM's comment was pretty accurate. The Mustang II never had a Hi-Po V8 option (all were 2 barrel carbs IIRC). The 302 in the Mustang didn't top 175hp until MY 1985, but that was an "H.O." version. The standard Windsor 4.9 was only putting out 155hp into the late 80's (1988 T-Bird). GM's LG4 305ci never…

sorry, thought the debate was still about the twincharged 1.4 and my take was that both of you were referencing that

1.4L in Jetta Hybrid uses a turbo, but no supercharger. A mechanical supercharger kinda defeats the efficiency premise of a hybrid.

Don't see that emissions would pose any issue whatsoever, as VW has a few engines already federalized that would drop into a Jetta/golf based mini pickup.

Toyota/Subaru claimed that a hatchback design was not in the best interest of chassis rigidity- the targa roof would certainly be much more of a concession. I'd rather have a hatch!

there would still be full cross support from the b-pillars back, so still stiffer than a vert

I was specifically referring to the 1996 turbo Z 5 speed which used the (previously) automatic's cams and deleted the VVT in an effort to satisfy OBDII. Automatic turbo Z32 models were always rated at 280hp vs. the stick's 300.

not tariffs, and Supra turbo topped out a hair over $50k base- up from $40k for 1993. 1998MY prices actually dropped below that with non-turbo starting about 10% under 1993 cost.

Z32 twin turbo was $33k for 1990 model, which was about what a 250hp base Corvette cost (rx-7 was about the same $ for 93 MY), but over $44k for 96 MY with noticeably decreased performance (less power/more weight). The z32 pretty much matched sales of rx-7s and Supras combined for applicable model years. The damn…

The Supra MkIV and Z32 used the same powertrains (turbo and NA) for their 6-7 model years as sold in the U.S. -really no upgrades change at all. Biggest change was turbo Z LOSING variable cam timing (and about 20hp unadvertised) due to OBDII for 1996 MY.
