Honda has also lost the mythical status of being reliable.

This is an argument that keeps getting repeated. If you want to have a classy car, don’t buy a hot hatch at all, and then especially don’t tell me a Nitrous Blue (Current gen) or Ultima Green (Last Gen) Focus RS is any less juvenile then a Type R, because that’s about always the colour you’ll see.

But hey, I have it…

I know I’m wrong before I even say anything, but I actually like how it looks. I know it looks like a STI and a Dodge Dart had a drunken tryst in the back of a design workshop, but I dig its style.

I like how you try to separate yourself from the problem. You bring the pitchfork people out this is what happens, take some responsibility. Don’t act like none of your readers did this i’m sure some did. Maybe you should understand a little bit about what your article do. Grow up and take some damn responsibility.

On a related note, During the intro to their next conversation street segment they need to show Hammond’s leg getting blown off.

Uh... hi... did you ever watch Top Gear?

A friend of mine bought a VW Diesel Golf. Turns out the sellers lied about the emissions or something big time. Super sketchy scenario. Whatevs. Sellers took it back.

They’ve all been driving high performance cars for 20-40 years, I think they are qualified. The fact that they only have a crash every few years is a testament to that.

I know you said V12, but how about a V6 plus three electric motors?

Get an E-type. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Damn, they’re all WR blue!!

This car is because of Honda’s desire to bring the car in at the mid-20's price range. That means using the 1.5 turbo. I think they also wanted to keep both the coupe and sedan, which means North American production. Using any 2 liter turbo varient solely for the Si in north america is a non-starter if cost matters…

The Si didn’t need more HP anyways, it needed torque. Wish people would stop fixating on HP.

It’s because if people want a real racing game, they play GT, Forza, Project Cars, etc. There are too many big players that do it better. NFS has always been about being different. Not about being the best racing game.

Over a billion in box office for each film helps your relevancy.

The Xterra is the first time I’ve ever agreed with any of the suggestions provided in one of these articles outside of the comments.

They likely wouldn’t have been happy any way the race could have ended....

I think you should re-read. He replaced/rebuilt virtually every system for the long term. He used better parts. Things partially worn or known trouble spots were addressed. It was a system reboot. A better initial purchase would have all those same systems in different states of decline. Addressing those issues as…
