Well, they are using hydraulic power steering, no? I think a big part of the feel is the mass of the car, and they seem to have done a good job with that.

LOL. People were saying that in the 80s too when Bimmers were all the rage with the yuppies. Some things never change.
Fair point. But I really don't know how they can cock this one up. Apart from the name change idiocy for the coupe.
F30 M3. BMW's best car returns.

Good call. His blog offers a wealth of technical info.
Don't tailgate.
Tesla operates under the model that the company owns the stores that sell you the car, so there are no independent dealerships or middlemen. Kind of like how you walk into an Apple store and buy a computer. It's not that they aren't allowed to sell through dealerships, it's that they don't want to. Current car dealers…
Pretty sure that just because Buick uses the engine doesn't mean that Chevy can't as well. It's not like it's a Buick exclusive engine.
Both of those cars are way more expensive than something like a Focus ST or GTI. And besides, do you really think a young 20-something would consider a Buick? Even the Grand National that people on here long for is essentially a car from their parents generation. GM would have much more success I think with a sporty…
This is IMO, a stupid idea, especially given how ~$25k and fun market has exploded in the past year with the FR-S/BRZ, Ford Focus & Fiesta ST, as well as a new Golf GTI. I think there's definitely money to be had in a small SS Chevy.
Given the brilliance of the General's last hot sport compact and Chevy's success in BTCC/WTCC, I'm curious, why the hell have they not released a Cruze SS? I honestly think they could give the Focus ST and new GTI a serious run for their money. The old 260 bhp EcoTec still has more power than both, and GM has proven…
Honestly, I'm amazed that Ford has been able to keep the car a secret for so long, and that we've had to resort to leaks of magazine covers to see it, especially with how Jalopnik outed the new Corvette a couple years ago.
I mentioned the Subaru 360 down below, with the free trip to Japan incentive.
The Nissan Versa is currently the cheapest car in America at $12,780.
Free trip to Japan with a Subaru 360? I'd say that's a pretty solid deal.
I imagine that it honestly depends from car to car in terms of what's going to be the most cost-effective solution that delivers the target results in terms of efficiency and performance, as well as price. Packaging constraints also play a role, in terms of which gearbox is easier to fit in the car.
Bravo.
