2003-2010 is first gen. 2011+ is second gen.

So let’s forget off roading vehicles such as the XJ Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. Or Ranger Rovers. Etc etc.

But the Mazda6 is boring to drive in only a mildly attractive package.

I get it. You like a shitty brand and can’t help but dick ride.
Hey. That’s cool. Maybe you need to take a break from the internet if you take it this seriously.

That idiot makes bank off these videos because there’s enough idiots saying “LOL MIATA IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER” and other garbage hash tags.
It’s just his style.

really? We need a show like that? RCR is absolute dog shit. Between being wrong about a lot of things, being generally monotonous, unfunny, and boring...
It’s about as terrible as the car memes that have become so prolific.

I dislike the Fiesta ST, but it actually drives like Ford gave a damn during development. Even the base Fiesta isn’t terrible to drive. They do quite a lot to make it feel like it’s more than just a bunch of power in a shitbox chassis.
Hyundai on the other hand just boosted an Accent (or was it Elantra?) engine and…

I’ve driven both. Honestly, neither are worth buying new. Hell of a second hand performance bargain. But there’s much better places I’d spend my money on. Especially in the used market.
Great little cars (FiST & Abarth) but nowhere near what they are hyped up to be.

Because it costs a million plus USD and I can buy a $50k Porsche SUV and get a “unique” key.
Not exactly rocket science. I mean I understand you’ve got an idiotic hard on for VW, but it doesn’t really mean a generic VW key is entirely acceptable.

They can. But cupholders tend to hold things better than just a dip into a smooth plastic console.

did it have the thing where you snub the cigarette out on? because that’s my distinction between the two. I’ve driven the current and last gen GM trucks and don’t remember an ash tray. But admittedly it’s not something I’d be looking for.

or alternatively... Third gen.

So? As opposed to the pig that is the Hellcat, I’d take the Skyline any day.
And if you’re only concerned with going in a straight line, I’m sure your sister is very proud of you and wants you to know she is ecstatic to be having your baby.

Having driven both? I’d take the Nissan in a heartbeat.
the hellcat is a pig to drive and I’m sure the entire reason they made it so fast in a straight line is because most trailer park drives tend to be straight.

I keep odds and ends in cupholders. My phone, keys, etc. Just to hold them so I’m not digging into a console every single time I exit the car.

Is it an actual ash tray or a storage area? I picked up a husk of a 2005-ish Caravan once because the space between the cupholders they thought was an ash tray (and it was really just a change “pocket.”)

virtually all manufacturers offer this as an option now. Porsche IIRC doesn’t because they still have ash trays.

It can be, it’s just a PR game right now. Because as it stands, it’s cheaper to hire fleshy meat bags over updating the machines to do the same jobs. After a few years of R&D into the new assembly line machines, these people will be back out on the street.

Not so much. a quick look into it reveals it was mostly a Yamaha design that was originally offered to Nissan as a modernized Fairlady (1600). Nissan turned it down so they went to Toyota.

for some reason i’m going to have to call bullshit on this. Especially considering that Sean Connery (at the same height) couldn’t comfortably fit in one to drive it for the film You Only Live Twice, and it prompted them to make a convertible of it.
