What have we done? 2016 Malibu 1LT 1.5t
frogger replied to regfootball's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
Also, these days auto transmissions tuned for fuel economy in these mainstream cars, quick to upshift, slow to downshift... Yummy. -

You gotta pay if you want some performance in your family hauler.. $30K+ for cars that don't need incentives to sell. Honda doesn't offer an LX trim 2.0T, Nissan doesn't offer a cheap 3.5S Altima, no Camry 3.5 LE etc... These days the third powertrain option for mainstream sedans is a hybrid. -

I like that VW gives a 1.8 as standard on the Golf variations here vs the 1.4 on the cheaper Jettas, I wonder if they do that in many markets. -
Finally the Prius is a decent driving car but then they had to go style it while on crack.

The current Civic Type R has a drag coefficient of 0.26, so this car should have some pretty good aero despite the normalized look.

Basically a high end Civic Hybrid. Looks like they they polished some of the polarizing elements of the Civic. What a next gen "Acura ILX" might have been...
-
It looks like they might be trying to compete more with the Maxima. How about an AWD PHEV Toyota Avalon?

No garages in my area big enough to fit anything larger than a midsize car, unless the house was rebuilt. I suspect the small garages/large sheds house more raccoons than cars overall at this point.

Kia News: 2018 Kia Stinger to Begin At $32,800, GT At $39,200
frogger replied to William Maley's topic in Kia
I wonder if AWD changes the numbers much. In Canada I think AWD is standard, 80% of power to the rear. I really love the SS, but it never sold here so this Kia is pretty awesome to me. -
Bodes well for Subaru and AWD preferring EV fans.

Toyota News: Toyota Plans A New Subcompact Crossover
frogger replied to William Maley's topic in Toyota
The C-HR is small and unconventional enough (and the RAV4 big enough) that there is room for something in between them.. The concepts were not all that mainstream but the FT-4X is probably closest to the end result.- 6 replies

Would You Rather a 2017 Chevy Volt or a 1997 Acura Integra
frogger replied to oldshurst442's topic in The Lounge
I loved my colleague's GSR back then, it was a tonne of fun driving it on some lunch breaks. I'm still going to go modern and pick a Volt for myself at this point though. -

2019 Subaru Ascent is the Forester XL: Comments
frogger replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
Basically a Subaru Honda Pilot. I'm guessing the new Forester will just be a slightly downsized version of this but with a sad combination of NA 4 banger mated to a CVT like most of their vehicles.- 5 replies
