stoic ledge
Looks pretty gut

Looks like a facelifted 2018

Saw that picture before. But yeah, I'm a bit excited for it.
More so for the Supra than the Z4.
I'm happy that you can still get it with a straight six.
I just know, however. That people will be let-down by its performance. But the Supra was never about speed and performance. It was more about being a good GT car.
vital glen
I hear more disappointment about it because people speculate it is a reshelled z4

And alot of time, prices based on the parts I was looking at (with parts taken off being sold)
wheat hatch
It would be nice if the performance could back up the looks 😦
gray fox
Could have taken the the money on the wheels and body kit and done either a super or turbo
hexed arrow
Engine isn't ready for a turbo, you would need to spend over £1000 to do a proper turbo setup
gray fox
The 2.0 can take about 8 psi stock which would give you some decent power
Or take that 1100 and get a tune, after an intake, cat-back, and cam.
Would net you some decent gains
As someone over 30 spend the money on performance, believe me.
Don't be an early 2000s ricer

Nothing sadder then a blinged out civic that can't beat a riding mower

If you want to go performance, sell the coupe get a Nissan 350z 
Will cost the same as the turbo, intake, exhaust, remap and etc
3.5 V6, 0-100 5.9 sec and 276bhp
hexed arrow
The Hyundai needs a piggyback ECU remap hence it being more expensive
gray fox
The parts are simple you can install heads, cam, catch back, and intake.

The Hyundai is a solid little car.
And they have pretty nice warranty, that I know of.
What's Veloster's competition anyways?
Golf GTI, Focus ST?

CLA was the 4 door coupe version of the A class
i30N competition is Golf GTI, Megane RS, Focus ST... so yeah, Veloster N has the same

Civic Type R would be on the high end.

Hyundai should just bring back the Tiburon as a RWD competitor to the Type 86.
They could even just tweak the original GKs styling to make it a bit more modern
gray fox
shadow osprey
Yeah it was fine, but the Genesis Coupé was better in basically every way
Except for the obvious, price
gray fox
@shadow osprey well the Genesis coupe should have given the price
But Hyundai could take a big bit out of the type 86 market with a RWD GK. I miss when you could have affordable performance since they didn't try and pack them full of tech no one wants.
I don't get why cars need to have all the climate, radio, and seat controls in a giant touch screen that makes everything more complicated and has more features then the 4 anyone uses.
Just give me simple dedicated controls

Don't go back to that dealer. Go to an auto parts store (you in North America?) And get a cheap breaker bar
And change the belt yourself
Belt should be like 15

at this point i wish i would've kept my 2001 prius, would've been cheaper to pay the $5500 to replace the high voltage battery than to buy a $7500 used car, get new brake pads, get new tires, and then get all this shit fixed

it was back in may that i got this car

yea these people were p good to us tbh
kinda my fault for falling in love w the rogue on the spot and not really looking too much into the optima lol
i told myself i wasnt gonna get a big car bc i was used to my tiny lil prius

i want this car

Hybrids are heavier, quite normal
1210kg... Mine is 1060kg
So 150kg for batteries, elekro motor, and 8cm longer (3 inches)

gray fox
Honda could have done better. Make it a little bigger and give it a decent engine
Like it's like 7 inches shorter then a FRS weights about the same (which says quite a bit about the frame/86) but has 200 hp
stoic ledge
Yeah I know, but it also had to be eco friendly and sht
So eco friendly and high power is kinda difficult
gray fox
Not if it's a hybrid. I remember the big thing was it had different settings. It had an eco mode that used the engine to charge and was mainly electric. A mix mode and a performance mode
They just missed the mark

I don't like the hybrid model

@gray fox a base 5.0 is like 35k, but that's just on the website. You can probably walk out with a much lower price at a dealer
@vital glen They might be leaving the 5.0 in the mustang for something better, but I'd be surprised if it leaves the trucks also, unless they swap both vehicles out for a new motor. Though I don't think they will. The coyote is only 7 years old. All of the other engines were used for much longer. The pushrod 5.0 was used from 67-95 (in the mustang, more in other cars (excluding that break in the early 80s with the shit 4.2L V8)), the modulr 4.6 was used from 96-2010 (again, more in other cars), so I wouldn't be surprised if it sticks around for another 5 years or so
Dodge has been using the 5.7 since... like ever. Same with chevy
No reason to think Ford would be any different
Oh, and technically the coyote is a mod motor also, which is the same family as the 4.6
vital glen
@shadow osprey I am memeing what they did to the raptor on the mustang
ebon jasper
Ford also used the 4.0l inline 6 forever too. I get why too. Rock solid.
gray fox
@shadow osprey thought it was 40K but you right. Doubt you would get one for much less then the sticker though. Dealers don't make too many deals on cars that are actually selling. And since the stang and the GT are the only "cars" ford is keeping I guess it sells well enough
My main issue is that they are killing blue collar performance. Yea the Mustang is cool but the average working guy isn't gonna be able to snag it cause he needs a car with a usable back seat and a big trunk. That's where the Taurus came in, full size sedan practicality but you.coukd get the SHO pack and now you have a beast that can eat mustangs and Challengers and still get the kids to school on time.
But the average Joe's seems fine with a Ford focus on stilts with a engine that makes some vauge turbo grumbles in the name of performance

Canon's color sensors always blow everything too vibrant

vital glen

Just found out my nephew rented this car when he was in the States (Oregon I believe) and... He totaled it 😂
Classic Mustang
stoic ledge
For some reason he hasn't posted a pic of it wrapped around the tree, only a pic of him showing off 🤔
fathom socket
Lol, are they okay?
stoic ledge
Yeah he's fine
warm sparrow
don't try to fck with a V8 when you don't know it
stoic ledge
Well he owns a V70 R, 850 T-5 and 480 Turbo, but they don't have a V8 and none of them have RWD
warm sparrow
good old volvos ^^
stoic ledge
Apperantly he sold his 850, found it on a used car site:

(wasn't the R, my bad)
warm sparrow
ehhh......... he put a ferrari-like logo on the side -_-
fathom socket
lol, +7 horsepower
stoic ledge
It's the Prancing Moose
A lot of (mostly older) Volvo owners have a prancing moose on their car
stoic ledge
After seeing a Volvo-produced sticker on an XC90 show car — “a cartoon-like standing moose profile” — Dave got the idea to ape Ferrari by drawing the moose rearing up. Now he sells the stickers to Volvo — and recently other makes like Saab — owners all over the world. And the rest is history.
except Saab is dead
warm sparrow
lol
vital glen
@stoic ledge I don't understand anything less than a v8
hexed arrow
warm sparrow
And you tell me that i have cliche about americans -_-
vital glen
warm sparrow
but civic type r looks like shit
i don't like renault but between these two i prefer the look of the megan rs
even if i love japanese cars
hexed arrow
Civic has its own distinct style the Renault looks similar to all other hatchbacks
hexed arrow
I like it's look with the rally pack
warm sparrow
japanese style is almost dead these days, only a few cars are still true japanese cars
warm sparrow
yea i'm talking about good old "sport" japanese cars
lancers, nissan 2XX s1X, mazda RX, supra, S2000, integra, 3X0 Z, etc
now there are just GTR, GT86 (and the 2 others) - that aren't sport cars btw-, MX5, NSX
and civic type R but meh
oh and impreza of course
even if the old ones look much better and much more subaru than the last gen of impreza
stoic ledge
Mégane RS looks good, hate the EDC transmission. Luckily they sell the Cup version with a manual too.
The EDC transmission is the biggest reason why I don't like the Clio RS
Too bad almost all hot-hatchbacks are 5-doors now
gray fox
@vital glen Volvo had a pretty baller V8
stoic ledge
Yamaha had a pretty baller V8
gray fox
Well yeah
Though to be true it was really a Yammy/ford since they owned Volvo
At the time. Honestly Ford should have pulled that out of mothballs for the new MKZ sports sedan.
Instead of just making it a tarted up SHO
vital glen
@gray fox suicide door continental that's what u
gray fox
The conti would be better if it had a 12
stoic ledge
They look pretty cool, but my parents Meriva have them too...
gray fox
Cause if you wanted it to rival a Bentley then you need more then a Taurus motor
stoic ledge
And yes, it needs a bigger engine, I agree
3.0 V6 Bi-Turbo, 400hp ? Not bad but... should be more
gray fox
Could have just made a 6.0 bi turbo V12. But Ford just decided making cars is too hard so they are gonna focus on cookie cutter crossovers
stoic ledge
But they just released a new Fiesta
And a new Focus
Which both will not be sold in America
stoic ledge
(:
gray fox
It's cause Europe isnt in love with crossovers yet
gray fox
Also it strange that Chrysler was the smart one when it came to the ultra luxury market
They where going to re launch the imperial after the LX platform launched and take two 5.7's to make a 11.5L V16
But decided that cost for such a low volume car wouldn't be worth it at that time.
Ford spent big on the conti for it to last what 2 years
gray fox
@stoic ledge It is pretty. I'm sure they would have tweaked it. Wasn't suppose to come out until like 2008/9
Honestly I bet it was down to dailmer not wanting an in house "rival" to maybach
stoic ledge
Probably
fathom socket
the continental is pretty cool though, practical in my opinion
gray fox
They hated the LX (300C) for stealing "potential" W class sales and blame the A class failure on it
Not like the A class was shit or anything
stoic ledge
Don't really understand why they made the Continental FWD (optional AWD)
gray fox
@stoic ledge cause they used the Taurus chassis
stoic ledge
Unacceptable for a luxury car imho
gray fox
They spent money but cut corners to save some, you know what you should do on a Bentley/Rolls
rival
fathom socket
the continental is comfortable though, quite practical too
gray fox
It's also quite dead
stoic ledge
12k units sold last year in the US, 10k in China
gray fox
Again the could use the Taurus chassis if they would have made more efforts to not make it look like a stretched and dressed up SHO. They did that visually but under the skin it's a long wheel base SHO
A 100k car shouldn't have a 3 liter V6 no matter how many turbos it has
stoic ledge
The coach door edition is a stretched streched SHO 😛
gray fox
At that price I expect a 12 if not a 16
fathom socket
you know the lexus lx 570, I think that's the name, naturally aspirated v6 I think, over 100k
gray fox
That's still unacceptable
fathom socket
then there's a toyota variant, same specs but like 10k cheaper, still around 100k tho
gray fox
Ford should strive to not be Toyota cause in that market no one is worrying about mileage
The conti could have gotten 10 MPG with a massive TT V12 and the super rich would have still bought it
stoic ledge
Just slam 2 3.0 EcoBoost engine together to create a 6.0 W12
Just like VW did 15 years ago
Or 2 3.7N/A engines to create an old-school 7.4l (452ci) block 💪
vital glen
@gray fox who needs a w12 when you can have a big old v8
fathom socket
or a w16
stoic ledge
W16 is kinda overkill xD
