Minus the space efficiency, too. 

Fwd comfy cruiser sedans aren’t exactly high up on my list of cars to buy, but I actually find the ES to be a pretty decent looking car.

I’m happy to call out insignificant pieces of shit like you. I’ve dismissed all your comments in this thread. Enjoy. 

If you’re going to call my masculinity into question because of my chosen pet you’ve picked the wrong person. I’m built like an NFL player and like fluffy kitties too. If you think this makes me less of a man that just shows how insecure and worthless you are. Go take your tired toxic male act back under the rock you…

I am a man and love my 3 cats. So does my wife.

BRB gotta go get me some pho for lunch.

Can we stipulate that the surface of the koi pond must be frozen, in order to adorably mess with cats?

You’re certainly entitled to your preference, but a modern turbo 4 with a quick-spooling small turbo will make its peak torque much earlier in the rev range than an NA V6 with similar peak #s.

When new, S13s were reasonably popular, but S14s weren’t. By the mid/late 90s when the S14 came out, most of the sporty fun entry/mid-level Japanese cars were 170-200 hp vs only 155 hp in the 240.

The X5 is an outlier in the segment. The majority of medium/large-ish (190-200 inches long) crossovers from premium brands start with a turbo 4 or NA V6. For example:

Sorry but I have to take issue here...

Yes, TOS has several references to money. I consider this little “they’re still using money” bit in Voyage Home as retconning the non-existence of money into the TOS era, in spite of the references to money in TOS episodes. 

When he says to Dahj,

Technically that post-scarcity idea was really introduced in The Voyage Home. When the TOS crew time travels to 1986 San Francisco, Kirk says “they’re still using money, we need to get some,” and pawns his reading glasses (the same pair introduced in Wrath of Khan).

Apparently that’s already happened?
