  1. I do agree, I think this engine is still under powered when you compare to competitive alternatives. Yes they have a higher trim, but I think Honda is still out of sync with the rest of the market. Yet for die hard Honda fans, this will still be a popular car for them.
  2. Actually the more I think about this the more it is clearly not overkill especially when it comes to Autocross. If all auto's are equipped the same, we truly get down to who is the better driver and reaction speeds. Maybe the focus should be on driving skill and not the engine performance.
  3. As far as we know, but with the craziness of BMW and the German Unions, who knows what stupid things they will do next.
  4. WOW, that is just amazing, I agree with what the person filming said, never seen an auto cut in half like that before. Wonder if she was trying to pass on a blind hill and hit the truck or what. WOW
  5. I actually wonder about the V12 option, if it stays and shows up, this will probably be the last Hurrah for the engine. I would honestly expect I6, V8, and V8TT before along with Hybrid.
  6. At least the Tree Stumps are Clean if they are a bar of Soap! Always more partial to Klingons than Romulans. Romulans remind me of all the weasels in DC!
  7. That might be so, but it is poorly integrated into the auto and is distracting. plus having a coworker who got one for her husband who is a rabid Subaru fan, it cuts into the windshield vision for anyone that is over 5'8" tall and when you are inside of the auto, it looks like an afterthought of implementation into the auto. Again this looks like a shortcut of Toyota adding it as an option and poorly integrating it into the car. I am glad it rates so well and people like it, but they are missing a major piece of how it integrates into the auto and the external vision it takes away. To me, this also leads to less attentive drivers who are more wanting to be in a self driving auto than actually drive.
  8. Guess I know now you are more Drunk than me. The Toyota interiors and blah exteriors of today's auto's are worse than the ones under GM. I agree to disagree with you as today's are pathetic, especially their Crosstrek with the weird camera system they put at the top of the windshield.
  9. GM Yields Sales Crown to FORD, or Did They? Motley Fool Report Interesting read, Ford won the month of May due to dumping a ton of auto's on the rental fleet market. GM had higher ATP than Ford, taking out rental sales, GM was the leader in North America. Some interesting takes on inventory on hand and how each company is dealing with the slow down. Read and sound off
  10. Is this what we get with Toyota buying GM's majority ownership of Subaru. Bland boring Toytaish rides? Sorry but the auto in the pictures is very bland and conservative and does not inspire me the way Subaru under GM ownership did. Cool spec's but FAILURE for inspiring me to want one. I used to love the look and sound of the STI and while it still has an awesome sound, the WRX STI has gotten bloated as well as blah in the style department. Even with loosing weight, based on their new conservative style approach, I am not hopeful that I will be inspired by the new upcoming version.
  11. ON TOPIC Demon is still a very cool car and from what they advertise and show off of the programming of running it in the Quarter mile, the first supported auto that can be taken to the track and raced. LONG LIVE THE AWESOMENESS OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING! After all Fiat / Alfa could never build anything like this or get people to part with their hard earned money in the droves of what they take from this country. #FAKENEWS????? FCA is not Italian anymore either it just dawned on me since they moved their HQ to some other European country. OK, just answered that, they are HQ in the Netherlands now according to Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles
  12. Yes Serg master plan of rap American brands of their profits and invest in propping up the terrible Fiat and thinking bringing back a Dead Dog down Alfa will reverse FCA fortunes and make him the darling of the auto industry. Sergio = Death of FCA, very slow at that but Death at the rate and business plan they are going.
  13. True but Nissan still went forward and built the turd of a Juke! I hope my friend you are right, yet we still got the Juke from Nissan, if Kia feels they need to be a bit more daring, they could follow Juke's path and build the turd.
  14. LOL, too true, but then every man needs a workshop and yours has some pretty cool tools!
  15. Probably Cheaper to go to Business Costco and just buy the commercial box's of saran wrap and wrap her yourself! You can get it in many different colors!
  16. Right! Talk about cheap to insure and of course no auto payments. Crazy to always have an auto payment, but my brother in law only does 2yr leases. He sees nothing wrong with life long auto payments.
  17. My Friend never be sorry, we are after all just human. I totally agree with @Cmicasa the Great has stated, but a real eye opener is my wife. Born and raised till age of 13 in Korea, then her whole family emigrated here. She is very big on proper recognition of terms of where you come from. Sidebar to our lovely XT5 discussion, my wife and I both agree, if you just got off the plan, boat, auto, etc. from another country and are staying here then you are African American, Korean America, etc. My son and Daughter are 100% Korean heritage due to my wife's first arranged marriage. Yet they were born here and as such Amy and Alex are just American. If color is needed to define a group then Black American, Brown American, White American. BACK ON TOPIC Over all I see allot of American Woman driving the XT5 but I am also seeing more men lately driving the XT5. So I just got corrected by a coworker who is gay and says he knows many men in the LGBTQ community that drive the XT5 and they all see more Hetero men driving the Escalade. Interesting that if Men would rather drive the Escalade and Woman the XT5. I think this has to do with Size.
  18. @A Horse With No Name Awesome, so cool to see your workshop and the wood work you do. Very cool!
  19. Ugly, Failure and the lack of a greenhouse makes visibility terrible. I am sure it will sell to Fans of Kia, but from a practical sense, it is a failure to me.
  20. I am a total Luddite when it comes to anything to do with FacePlant. Will never have one of their accounts.
  21. I still own my 1994 suburban, awesome and have no plans to ever get rid of it.
