Reminds me of a Suzuki Cappuccino...Well great, now I have to go read about those again. Quite a bit of want.

There’s sort of another side to it too. Sure, the thing looks kind of ridiculous (Nissan: Design that Confuses), but they almost always get toned down for production (see: BMW i8). I, personally, think that with a toned down design, while still maintaining affordability, manual transmission and power to the rear two,…

I don’t, and that’s odd, because I fostered a very early love for cars playing NFS2. Used to kick all kinds of ass with the F50 (before my 8-year-old self understood what “rubber banding” was)

Lol, so reductionist. “Starter or starter solenoid”...or battery, or battery connections, or ignition fuse, or ignition relay, or the igntion block, or the connection from the battery to the starter, or the starter signal wire, or ECU...and that’s all I can come up with. Pretty sure I’m missing a couple.

Proper diagnosis of wheel bearing issues isn’t very hard. OP offered a sort of half-diagnosis you can do while driving. If you want to actually diagnose an issue:

Somewhere, a GameStop Executive is reading this and having a conniption.

“Oh yeah? What is it?”

Ok mister, a few things.

...You realize that that car doesn’t have a KA24 in it, right? I mean, it could have one, if this company imported one from USA and then swapped it in...but why the hell would they do that?

“En-Ef-El!”

To be fair, he’s a pocket QB, so free movement really isn’t a requirement.

...that’s an interesting perspective. I get OPs point: peripherals, historically do poorly unless adoption is high. Without high adoption, Devs won’t integrate with them. It’s always been an awkward catch-22.

I mean...32?!?! Holy shit, that’s a find.

Interestingly, that same insurance argument frequently popped up when discussing grey-market (or black market) imports. It was like, congratulations, you snuck your car past customs, probably by bringing it in in pieces, then you got it registered in your state under a different name (“A Skyline by any other name” and…

Should probably read the article linked above, which does its best to explain why the LFA is, in fact, a terrible halo car (because it doesn’t cause buyers to want to buy other Toyotas/Lexuses, which is sort of the point of a Halo car). Don’t get me wrong, I think the LFA is awesome too, but don’t expect me to wander…

Oh man, I’m so excited this is out. Didn’t even know it was coming out.

Que?

Agreed. VW, to me, immediately brings to mind the Bug (because of course) followed closely by the Jetta, the Golf, and, on the newer front, the GTI.

I’m guessing your agent might (assuming you are a high-falutin’ Country Music group)
