I can’t afford one anyway... :(

Right, because a 1.6 V6 turbo with ES capable of 15,000 RPM is totally what’s in the new Accords.

Honda has also lost the mythical status of being reliable.

He does screech a lot.

RIGID AIRSHIP

Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch the race during the day, but I’ll be following closely. Go Toyota!

Turning? Every Type-R from the Integra to the NSX to the Civic has been based on a race car. The new Civic Type-R lapped the Nurburgring in 7:43, compared to the Focus RS’s 8:06. AWD doesn’t automatically make the car any better on a track. It’s not like turning on assists in Forza Motorsport. All it does is add…

That was cringe inducing.

What’s that good reason?

Far from random. It’s all function over form.

I don’t live there anymore, so no care.

Close enough.

No that was just the wind, dear.

In all fairness, as bad as their engine is, they haven’t given up. They seem like they’re actually trying to deliver.

I was half-expecting (not really) Porsche to pull a Lightning McQueen and push the Toyota around the circuit one more lap.

Speaking as a Toyota fan and a Star Trek fan, I don’t feel good about someone named Kobayashi driving the car.

LC =/= LFA

Jalopnik is filled with them too, mostly new writers.
