The layout of Subaru's awd drivetrain puts the engine fully ahead of the front axle, which is bad for weight distribution. Using a flat four mitigates that by keeping the engine only 2 cylinders long instead of 4 if it had an inline.

Someone tell me again why this is a user problem and not a tech problem? Phone manufacturers should use a 4000x4000 square CMOS and record in 16:9 no matter which direction is down.

I never thought about any metrics other than “How much sidewall is required to reduce the pucker factor when I hit the million potholes on my way to work?”

This completely makes me foam at the mouth in anger.

I’m white, born and raised south of Boston. Had never left the country at the time, but had done very well in school with various foreign languages.

Fast forward to college in Orlando, Florida and I was working at a Tex-MEX restaurant, and I would try and speak…

I think the parts about the car being less unique or more boring than the Mustang and Mopar offerings is silly - the Camaro is far more ditinct than those.

Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t.

There is something to be said for having segregated passenger and cargo spaces.

My next vehicle is going to be a Ridgeline. I need a truck with a cap. I can’t get gravel, a load of stuff for the dump, wet rafting gear, etc... into an SUV. I also need to seat four, and pull a trailer. We’re a one-vehicle family. For years we’ve had a work-horse 2003 Tundra. It’s getting close to retirement. The…

Saab 9000 is the perfect car for a cyclist.

This is to tell you all that I will not be posting “lovely lady” awards any longer.  I’ve been doing it for almost ten years and have decided to hang it up. 

If i were buying a Tesla, i would opt for the All-Weather package, unlike these two cheapskates.

What’s opposite of a star? .... Pothole. I give you pothole!

Let’s not forget:

I’m a truck guy. I’ve always had a truck or “real” SUV since the 90's, (plus a regular car or motorcycle). I have no problem with owning trucks and using trucks. But you know they guy dropping 60 or 70 on a F150 isn’t buying it to be used as a truck. Spending that much because you got a big-ass diesel (the Cummins is…

Any automotive expert know why Honda stopped making these wonderful cars? Was it new crash safety requirements? Slow sales? Not enough margins? Emissions?

We all have a responsibility here to make sure the proud culture of C&C Mustang owners continues for the younger generation as well. :nods:

Exactly this. Beyond just a car, they’re selling a service. That service is convenience. And there are a lot of people willing to pay for convenience.

Some people just can’t stand negotiating. Carmax has succeeded on that.

I never thought you could have a truly redneck sport with 4 wheeled vehicles that don’t have any engines, but I was so, sooo wrong.
