Your level? I was born in it, molded by it... 

Nissan Versa! Very nice car!

Wrong color entirely.

They did. I remember having to deal with ‘Stormfront Invasions’ repeatedly. 

cause someone drove it into something pretty hard and this was cheaper. 

I always called it a horsecollar. Like an Edsel. 

Sooo... did you find a stranger in the Alps? 

At least three of those would be an improvement on Jason’s current selection. The Imperial, the Thunderbird, and the Motor. Well, at least Motor would take up less space.

Maybe they will again. I’m just saying we all know the WRX chassis is getting really long in the tooth - and they’re not going to kill it. It adds up a bit. “The Return of Subaru” is a heck of a way to market.

Aaaand that’s when Subaru’s going to get us a new WRX/STi design. 

I dunno if it’ll work too well when everyone in the car is going ‘oh god skuuuuuunk’, but hey, I’ll try it.

If they do, they do, and good for them. I just know a significant amount of people would buy a more powerful one.

If they’d just put 50 more ponies into the Crosstrek, I am pretty sure they’d have doubled their sales. I get a lot of people saying ‘this is everything I want but it’s too slow for the onramp’ on it.

Aw, geez, we lose the cubby under the infotainment? It’s really handy for charging my phone/keeping a microfiber cloth/whatever in.

That’s what it seems like to me, which makes a lot of sense.

It’s been known to happen, yeah, which is why there’s ducting and all kinds of fancy stuff.

Looks like the regen happens at the motor, so heat buildup at the wheels is less of a concern, and there’s less buildup total.

And I was wondering where the heat generating part of that would be. It looks like further inside the car than at the calipers, which makes sense, so this makes more sense for an electric than ICE.

Huh. I wonder how regenerative braking heats up, and if it’s better or worse than normal braking, given that some of the venting from the covers is now sealed off and they’ll heat up a bit.

Damn near 2 grand for the 30k checkup. I call that a reputation.
