I ordered this ST. It was 4k to go up to ST2.

Ah yes, because spending the extra 300 on paint means I definitely needed to buy the 4000$ package that had the halogen headlights...

But by that logic, I can APR the TCR to really beat the GTI, even with APR, for not much over MSRP. And then the TCR has LSD which the GTI can’t make up for with PS2 tires. Plus the TCR has retuned TCS and maybe even ABS while the GTI with APR just has the ECU tune that maybe has a launch program in the TCS settings.…

I had a performance blue FiST myself before the FoST. Good pickup on molten orange. Way way way WAY better than “Spice”. I don’t hate spice as it is, I just hate that they want you to team it with the color coded seats that are still Molten Orange.

Matte gray color options are what you're thinking of. And I agree. They're thousands of dollars extra for a gray that's.....more gray.

This displeases me.

Focus ST refresh. So model years 2015 on up in USA.

I call it The Banana Express but yours works too.

Or in the case of the KLR, the “Doo-hickey” because no one seems to want to say “Balancer idle lever and spring” over and over. 

I want it in color, not grayscale. And a super-dark metallic shade of a color is now on my no-fly list too. Seriously, what is this shit they’re pushing on people these days? It can’t just be like a nice british racing green, it’s like someone accidentally got a bit of green in their black metallic.

Nah, that happened years before they featured them. Motocompos have been a cult classic “bike” for years. But far too many people were laser focused on the R32 GT-R to care about almost every other JDM import. It really has only been since that car was legal to import that all these import companies got the cash to…

Okay, this is where I struggle with the point of Jezebel. On the one hand, you have very well written articles covering topics of equality and gender issues in our current events. Yes, there is crossover with pop culture, politics, and consumer goods. I 100% agree and can see why covering topics like the treatment of…

What the shit? I have like 730 and was terrified I had bad credit when I got my Fiesta a few years ago, but I did qualify for the 0% loan program. When I got my FoST, I went outside of Ford financial but still I got like 3.5 or 3.6 something like that.....

Depends on how old it is, and how much Fanboys whine about it.

Yeah, like Audi starting development of the Quattro as early as 1977, despite 4WD not being allowed in WRC until 1979. What a lucky coincidence!

As the owner of a triple yellow FoST, I agree with this post 100%. The bright yellow paint elevates it from a kinda quick, but still cheap, hatchback to a properly hilarious riot on 4 wheels. We’re all lamenting the death of the manual and the death of traditional cars, but let’s not forget that bright colors are on…

Still, that’s EPA requirements since you’re quoting CFR which is USA law and is not recognized as an international standard unless you’re talking about receiving shipments from the USA. Go to Euro 4 laws and we see something different.

Oh I agree with that, but the page you posted also indicates that there is an option to take averages across a lineup into account. Now how exactly that is done, I don’t know. What I heard a year or two ago was to expect the carboureted thumpers to die out as the averages caught up to the companies that made them.…

....okay and?

I don’t think they will for much longer. To my knowledge, all of those bikes fail the emissions standards, but they are being held to older standards due to how long they’re in production vs. sales per year. So they get some grandfather exemptions for a number of years or perhaps a number of bikes being built.
