With all the upgrades and modifications that have been done to the car in the past year I think that Dusty Whatever fellow needs to go back out and do a story update.

I truly had NO idea the base Lancer had available AWD.

In western NY where we are getting 6 feet of snow before Thanksgiving. The idea is, get a car that you don't care about. Someone will hit it in the winter anyway. A used Jeep is cheap, strong, high clearance. It is not economical to run. Expect 18 mpg avg. You will dominate! Subaru is not good in deep snow and not…

For the midsized segment, Ford Fusion, Subaru Legacy and Chrysler 200 are the only midsized sedans that I've been able to find that offer decent AWD systems outside of the premium or luxury brands.

Light source on the ground ?

300 hp and 0-60 in 5.1? Not bad, but not all that impressive to go ape shit over. I think I'd rather have the Volvo V60R with 325 hp and 345 torqs.

Counterpoint:

these are flares, but not box flares IIRC. Batmobile BMW has box flares. Quattro has box flares.

Because automakers need buzz and VW's regular offerings would get them almost no love from the press. So they show the batshit stuff that they will never give us, all the journos lose their shit, then VW goes back to cranking out Passats and Jettas.

VW is claiming that it will only come in a 6-speed manual because the DSG cannot reliably handle the torque output.

The '15 Mustang GT performance package doesn't have "real brakes?"

Cobra Fangs

Fucking amazing

I'm getting a seriously pissed off snake vibe from this, and I think that's ok.

I have a 2012. It has real brakes.

I would not say it is any more over than when the NA Boss 302 came out.
