THE NEW GRILLS SUCK
indigo coral
the BMW grilles are horrible

indigo coral
The Lexus grilles look better

the lexus full size suv
is horrendous

shadow cedar
that’s a concept LOL
lone pendant
Koenigseggs are so unbelievably overpriced its unreal
shadow cedar

The X7 isn't a concept

I said that the x8 is a concept
indigo coral
oof censored
shadow cedar

You know that the 1:1 is currently listed for 7 200 000$
tame jungle
the grille is bigger than you
indigo coral
LX/GX I agree are ugly
indigo coral
UX/NX/RX are good

lincolns are beautiful these days
id take a lincoln over anything else for its price
however
tame jungle
im waiting for the gv80
indigo coral
The new Lincolns are nice
shadow cedar
best lincoln imo
indigo coral
Yes
tame jungle
it looks like the better version of the bentaya
tame jungle
indigo coral
I would get a G70 wagon if they bring it to the US
shadow cedar
gv80 meh
shadow cedar
you’re comparing a 50k car to a 300k car
tame jungle
and im showing
how the 50k car looks better
and literally has the same features for the price
shadow cedar
looks rubbish im sorry
tame jungle
alright your opinion
shadow cedar
bentayga looks nicer imo
tame jungle
sorry you like maseratis
tame jungle
i can tell that you do
tame jungle
would you ever buy one new?
tame jungle
is it worth it?
tame jungle
what do you think
shadow cedar
nah
tame jungle
well
shadow cedar
appalling gearboxes
tame jungle
you gotta get the good ones
shadow cedar
aka the ones that came with a manual
tame jungle
@shadow cedar mate you look at the gearbox out of everything
tame jungle
thats why you buy an automatic
shadow cedar
that’s why I specifically mentioned it
shadow cedar
okay but they’re better
shadow cedar
what’s wrong with that?
tame jungle
Granturismos manuals have substantial issues, known to have gearbox failures and other age defying issues throughout the years
And parts are hard to find especially for the older years
shadow cedar
if you think an automatic will be any better I’ll find that funny
the older years have plenty of parts available
tame jungle
Oh, go and check Fiat Chrysler and their stock. I had a Granturismo.
Yes, it was manual.
shadow cedar
did you now
tame jungle
Gearbox broke within 7 months.
Couldn't find a replacement for the 2009 model.
Sold it off at a loss.
shadow cedar
that’s an issue probably you only have, issue finding a gearbox
shadow cedar
Anyway I don’t know why you’d replace the gearbox on them since a new gearbox is literally more than the car LOL
tame jungle
They said that they only keep the new ones of 2012 versions +
Um no thats not true
the GranTurismo holds its value at around 30k-35k
gearboxes can range from 2k-4k
shadow cedar
still a considerable loss
tame jungle
Bought it for 32k, sold it for 28k
Not that huge of a loss.
I only drove it around 2000 miles more than what I originally bought it at.
shadow cedar
and what was the mileage before you bought it
shadow cedar
and when was it that you bought the car
shadow cedar
meh
tame jungle
wym meh?
btw the gv80 has almost all the specs of the bentayga; take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZimqOtaYSY
tame jungle
Bentayga isnt a sports suv but alright
shadow cedar
nor is the gv80 LOL
shadow cedar
“almost all specs”
shadow cedar
are we gonna go that route now?
tame jungle
Sure.
For 50,000, I'm getting blue-light sunroof which you get in the 200k McLaren GT, and Motorized Reclined Seats in the 2nd Row.
Also getting motorized Sun Shaders on the windows.
shadow cedar
now you’re comparing it to a mclaren gt
tame jungle
Also getting a 14 Inch Display
shadow cedar
shadow cedar
it doesn’t matter
tame jungle
that it has almost all the specs, even more compared to the bentayga
shadow cedar
I’m comparing an suv to an suv
tame jungle
alright?
shadow cedar
not an suv to a grand tourer
tame jungle
And i'm listing the specs of the suv
shadow cedar
so stick to the suv LOL
tame jungle
what's with the LOL? You're not over 20 right?
Oh right, you're probably a millenial.
Makes sense.
Anyways, if you were to scroll up, I'm stating the specs of the SUV.
shadow cedar
i cant LOL
tame jungle
??
shadow cedar
nah say them again
tame jungle
"I cant" isnt really a great response
Alright
Motorized Sunshades Stock for the passenger seats
And even the 3rd row*
You also get a highly responsive 14 inch display
Hold on a second
I'm getting the full sheet
shadow cedar
touch display?
shadow cedar
rubbish
shadow cedar
probably only controls aircon
shadow cedar
oh its one of those interiors
tame jungle
If people dont want to they dont have to
shadow cedar
touchscreen is a useless feature for something that’s that far away
I’d much rather use the dial
shadow cedar
i will
tame jungle
It comes with Power Soft Closing 2nd Row, You don't have to close the door completely, it does it automatically
Also does that with the hood
shadow cedar
most new luxury cars have that
shadow cedar
doesn’t matter
tame jungle
i said 50k
not 75k
cant find one?
thought so.
alright lets continue
Optional 3rd Row Powered Seats
(Which is shocking for a 3rd row)
shadow cedar
luxury car normal
tame jungle
For 50k?
shadow cedar
by the way it STARTS at 50k
tame jungle
A 3rd Row Power Seat?
shadow cedar
before options mate
shadow cedar
and
tame jungle
3rd Row Power Seats are pretty uncommon
That's something different
You also have massaging 2nd row seats
and optional massaging 3rd row seats
which i've honestly never seen before in a 3rd row
Ventilated 2nd Row Seats as well
Which is rare
You dont have the option for ventilated 3rd row seats but I understand
shadow cedar
ventilated as in?
shadow cedar
option for cold and hot seats
tame jungle
it also has indoor electronic noise cancellation from the outside, which is something ive never seen before
It's like a noise-cancelling headphone, instead inside a car.
Never seen that before, it seems amazing.
shadow cedar
you’ve never heard of that feature?
tame jungle
Not electronic.
I've seen the padding that they do.
But never an electronic noise-cancelling feature in a car.
shadow cedar
there’s not much difference between them
tame jungle
Kinda is.
shadow cedar
like?
tame jungle
??
Electronic would be more stable
Padding doesnt really help, noise comes through the windows
shadow cedar
it’s soundproofing
tame jungle
Doesn't soundproof the window parts
Which is literally the part where most of the sound comes from
Since you're right next to it
tame jungle
Don't think theres anything at 50k like that; the Bentayga doesnt even have that.
2nd Row and 3rd Row Vanity Mirrors so you can look at yourself and see how beautiful you are with led lights as well.
tame jungle
Oh it's not electronic.
And i've seen a Bentayga, the windows are not thick.
The cullinan's are REAL thick though.
shadow cedar
still keep the noise out
tame jungle
Eh, not really.
tame jungle
You've got all the basic stuff like Blind Stop, Park Assist, Autonomous Parking (Parallel/Horizontal etc.)
Real Leather
Heads up Display
(Which the Bentayga I believe does not have)
shadow cedar
useless feature imo
tame jungle
Kinda is good
You drive, don't have to look down.
Just look straight
So you keep your eyes on the road.
shadow cedar
it’s an automatic so you don’t need to see much
shadow cedar
voice navigation exists LOL
tame jungle
Yeah, if I have 5 exits in front of me, I can get confused
Ever heard of a massive freeway intersection where there's only 1 exit per 60-70 miles?
shadow cedar
yes i have
tame jungle
Yeah, you don't want to miss that damn exit.
Or take the wrong one.
Better you see it visually.
shadow cedar
waze doesn’t mess up
tame jungle
Alright, can we move on?
shadow cedar
go ahead
tame jungle
Alright
Now this is a feature that I love in all genesis vehicles
I don't know why other manufacturers dont use it
So as you know, the bentayga doesnt have a full screen gage cluster
You still have regular gages on the sides
But you do have a screen in the middle
shadow cedar
yeah
tame jungle
The GV80 has cameras on each side on the back, so when you're turning your blinker on the highway, you don't have to look at the mirror, you can keep your head straight and look at the gage cluster and it shows you what's behind you
It's honestly an amazing feature
tame jungle
Yeah, as you know Genesis is owned by Hyundai
shadow cedar
i know
im sure newer manufacturers will start implementing it in the upcoming years
tame jungle
This is probably the last line of specs
They do have optional back picnic tables, an optional refrigerator, optional 2nd row captain seats (remove the middle seat for easier access), and optional infotainment system in the back where you can control the navigation/radio or even watch a movie when guess what... Streaming from Netflix or Hulu, or even YouTube!! That's honestly crazy.
shadow cedar
refrigerator picnic table ive heard of
tame jungle
Ik
Not in a 50,000 Vehicle though
Those are specs in a S Class or even a Maybach
lol
shadow cedar
i can watch movies using carplay too
tame jungle
On what?
Also, you don't have to have your phone with you. You login through the car.
And boom!
Yeah that was the last line of crazy specs I guess
shadow cedar
ehh
tame jungle
It literally is a bargain for 50,000.
shadow cedar
im pretty sure older range rovers have those picnic table thingies
tame jungle
Nope.
tame jungle
It technically was supposed to be out.
And prices are confirmed.
Covid delayed it.
They released the official pricing.
shadow cedar
eh
tame jungle
So overall, it's the cheaper and better version of the Bentayga.
That's what I say.
Also jesus the new G80 looks beautiful
Literally just released today
tame jungle
I don't get how you would say that when the specs line up with a Maybach or a Rolls Royce Cullinan
shadow cedar
you can say that about a lot of cars
people just tend to buy the elite of the elite, because they can lol
shadow cedar
yeah
tame jungle
When you're in a Genesis, people would ask nothing.
When you're in a bentayga, people would ask "wow where did you get that money from wow"
tame jungle
s65 is meh
shadow cedar
and if some person who didn’t know much about cars spotted it from a distance, pretty sure they’d say “eh, looks like a c class”
tame jungle
id rather take an amg gt 4 door
shadow cedar
the amg gt is a nice grand tourer

how old's your car?
fathom socket
It's a 2004 focus
So a little over 15 years
1.8l engine
I still can't get over that my newer uncles vw Passat that he took good care off had a catastrophic failure at 140k km
Everyone told me to not buy it
I drove 800 km across poland just fine
dense shard
Focus wasn't exactly a tech masterpiece
Zetec was already over a decade old by that point.

my car has a crappy motor but it's reliable too!

None of that vw rubbish

V8 cadillac with power comparable to a 2.0 zetec engine

Mine probabbly has 110 hp
dense shard
The EA888 has been around as long as LTT.
indigo coral
The 2004-2009 RX 350 is a 3.5L V6 rated at 270 but it's underrated, it's been tested and shown to be every bit of 300
fathom socket
But his VW was from the time period when it made engines that tended to break down really quickly
indigo coral
The 07 RX350 is honestly pretty damn quick
fathom socket
I didn't want to buy a vw from the mid 2000s
And also
Focus 1.8 tddi
I hate it
tight cypress
dense shard
I don't think vw made the engines to break tbh
But the corners they cut were almost as bad.
indigo coral
220hp sure doesn't go very far
fathom socket
But not the carburetor level
indigo coral
fathom socket
Definitely automatic
fathom socket
Also
It takes forever to change the gears
I don't really like automatics bacause sometimes they take way too long to change gears
Or skip gears
indigo coral
Well my car was free
civic spoke
@fathom socket Mt E46 starts up with ease. Even with a meh battery.
indigo coral
So it does well enough
Lol
Still faster than the Maserati transmissions tho
The duoselect thing
indigo coral
The quattroporte had a trans called duoselect and it was f**king awful
fathom socket
Like smart level awful?
indigo coral
Eventually they switched to a ZF auto and it was better
indigo coral
Lemme grab the video of the 2007
fathom socket
I need to record my focus acceleration
I'm just burning my clutch
Changing gears way too fast
dense shard
I just take it easy
fathom socket
Maybe I'll take it to the track
stoic ledge
It's actually not that hard, basically rev match and it'll slot in to gear
fathom socket
The issue is
You can ruin the syncronstors
Or how do I spell it
Auto cucumber does not help
stoic ledge
Synchro mesh?
fathom socket
Yea
fathom socket
Auto c o r r e c t
indigo coral
🤣
fathom socket
I'm still forgetting to fix that
dense shard
Floating gears can also ruin your synchros
fathom socket
What do u mean by floating gears
dense shard
Clutchless shifting
civic girder
Only if you do it wrong
fierce gate
It's harmless if you get it right, yeah
fierce gate
It's pretty easy if you grew up riding fourwheelers and stuff with syncho transmissions
civic girder
Synchro bad
I drove my uncle's Willys once. No synchro on 1st
May never get to drive it again tho, since he passed away not too long ago. Idk what the fate of the Jeep will be.
If I had a house, I'd have it shipped to me and take it under my wing
Maybe I still will do that when I do get a house. We'll see
fierce gate
My great uncle's wife just died. When going through her old stuff they popped open the barn, found a barely driven LTD in mint condition lol
50 miles I think
fathom socket
Synchro on my reverse gear is broken
fierce gate
Apparently she bought it, didn't really like it, and parked it. Somehow over 30 years they just forgot about it
civic girder
Holy shit, 50 miles LTD? 
fierce gate
yeah ha
fierce gate
he's borrowing our trailer this weekend to go get it. My plan is to constantly tell him how much I love it, in the hopes that he gives it to me lol
It's gonna be such a sicckkk car
civic girder
One of my friend's dad has an 89 LTD
fierce gate
Gives it to me in his will* not that I'm going to beg him till he gives it up* lol
civic girder
Its destined for the scrap yard eventually because the frame is starting to rust bad. But it's really cool and nice otherwise
fierce gate
I want to do a bunch of cool shit to it, but being in such good condition I'm almost afraid to. It could be worth a fortune un-molested
civic girder
That LTD is the most comfortable car I've ever driven/rode in
fierce gate
Wish it was a convertible tbh. I could see that thing being insanely cool with the top off
civic girder
Yikes, idk about that one
LTD should be just what it is imo
The wagons are even cooler tho
fierce gate
I'm pretty sure they made convertible LTD's, right?
civic girder
I don't think they did, maybe I'm wrong
civic girder
Wait, what year is that?
fierce gate
71
fierce gate
haggerties valuation tool shows convertible being an option also
oooh
hey that's cool too though
I want whatever Ermantrout drives in Breaking Bad
fierce gate
nice
fierce gate
looks like it might need some clearcoat
civic girder
But also a rusty old hag that seeps oil from everywhere
Yea, the paint is also fucked
fierce gate
yeah, but there's still a car there to be saved if he fixes that paint.
civic girder
The frame is getting bad, unfortunately
fierce gate
ah bummer
civic girder
The cost to repair the frame would likely be the cost of the cars value
They'll probably drive it till it snaps in half
Similar to what happened to the Astro
Man, the Astro was cool
Modern cars just can't do it for me after dealing with older cars. Even shitty cars like the Astro can be cool when you assign them meaning
civic girder
We will always remember the Astro
as in the astro van?
Yes
I didn't think it was cramped. Was honestly gigantic
More roomy than my mom's 2018 Pacifica or our old 2009 Sienna
I remember it fondly in part because of how shitty and fucked that one was as well as because it saved my ass once
civic spoke
I wonder how much I would improve my 0-100 kmh time by switching to better tires.
fathom socket
I'm using tires that I've paid 13 euors for a set
my focus is so cheap to maintain

That's an 89 LTD Crown Victoria

civic barn
Engine harness
Radiator
Full exhaust
single turbo kit would be easiest
Various hoses for coolant, intercooler piping, etc```rip did not read not a good car for a 16 year old for that price i would rather juist buy this https://www.gingermanraceway.com/for-sale-1994-mazda-rx7-turbo.html#for_sale
it would probably be around the same price to rebuild the red fd

needs to be converted to RHD
civic girder
in the US, I literally cannot drive anywhere and not see at least 4
Its super annoying
severe quartz
pretty much
civic girder
they've become generic cars
severe quartz
camaros, mustangs, challengers, are all pretty meh / regular in the LHD world
civic barn
our mustangs here are euro-specs
civic girder
And to add to the not-cool factor, its a decade old car dressed up with fancy new gauges and lights
civic barn
anyway
civic girder
I don't understand why anyone buys new Challengers or Chargers tbh
severe quartz
honestly that whole market segment - including the foreign counterparts like the 370Z that are in the same price group - needs a refresh
it's time
civic barn
civic girder
yea true
severe quartz
the new racey-er camaros are cool
civic girder
The only performance cars I'd actually consider buying would be Mustang or Miata
civic barn
civic girder
The Mustang was refreshed recently enough that its relevant, same with the Miata
civic barn
yellow just basically stock hellcat
civic girder
And the Miata has always been a proper sports car
civic girder
I'm not a fan of that gen
civic girder
looks better than the SN95, but still not all that great imo
Yea, that Camaro is actually cool
civic barn
civic girder
don't see those very often

From a time when the Camaro was cool

oh yea, thats a good looking Alfa

that car sold me on restomods as actually being a good idea
civic barn

I'm personally not a fan of restomods
I very much like viewing things as they are
A direct product of the time

@civic girder I was the same till I saw that alfa

civic girder
eh, idk
civic barn

also from the 2000's....

did this ever actually get made
