At least there’s a nice smooth spot for your suction-cup phone mount besides the windshield.

Surprise M**********R

I was hoping they would have fitted a CVCC system. Even though it wouldn’t have fit with the period-correctness; it would have been a cool call back to when Soichiro Honda designed a system for a 1973 Impala to disprove GM’s CEO’s assertion that the system wouldn’t work on larger engines.

“So why exactly would anyone buy the manual version?”

I intend to take the idea one step further. My burial instructions are for me to be cremated. The Charger is towed to the appropriate location. Then my bud dumps my ashes onto the driver’s seat. The car is soaked with gas inside and out and is burned to the ground.

Let me drop a little lawyer on you:

Q: You’re 70 now?

A: That’s correct

Q: So, we’re to believe you’re a gentle-driving retiree, is that it?

A: Why, yes, sonny, that’s right.

That v-twin has a max speed of 4000rpm ... and that turbo looks pretty damn big for the displacement anyway (looks bigger than what’s on my 1.8t VW)... when does it spool up/make boost? At 3500?

Went better than I expected

Agree. Hanging onto my old E46 wagon in the vague hope something like this becomes practical cost-wise. 

There is a soft wear update coming for that.

A Bentley Continental GT weights 5400 pounds.

Renault asked if they could take FCA in to their personal mechanic/accountant to be checked out before the deal.

Attaboy, David. Your commitment to good engineering practices (when not wrenching) is beyond question.

As would I, however, I don’t have E63 wagon money, heck don’t even have A 220 sedan money.

I don’t think safety standards explains it. If a Honda Fit can pass safety standards, so can a truck smaller than a Sherman tank.

I mean, yes, it beat the record, but it’s also a purpose built race car that just so happens to be an EV. Isn’t the NIO “technically” a street car in the sense that it’s at least street legal? Saying a race car beat a street car by a minute around a track with a 5+ minute lap time shouldn’t really be surprising. Has…

I actually went through this thought exercise myself designing a Lego “MkVI” Supra with my kid. Settled on:

I don’t get the fastback with a trunk deal. If you’re going to give us a fastback, just give us a liftback (looking at you too, Accord).
