Subways Jared posted:I'm in DFW and I see the same. It makes me wonder why I see so FEW Dodge Challengers (new ones obviously). With the big three, I notice Lots of Mustangs, some Camaros, and barely any at all, Challengers. In my opinion, it looks the best of the 3. Is it drastically overpriced, or underpowered compared to the others, or something?

I shopped for Kias/Hyundais against some other brands and they're just Toyotaish. I bought a Mazda 3 instead of an Elantra GT because it was better to drive and within $1000. It gets much better fuel economy too.

I always found it annoying that the newer WRXs lacked the VLSD in the back. I loved the way my 05 felt out of a corner.

Wheeee posted:Honestly, if parking and maneuvering in tight city streets isn't a concern, trucks and SUVs are the poo poo. Comfortable to get in and out of, great view outwards due to ride height, greater safety in most accident scenarios due to that greater ride height. Seriously, if you do a lot of highway travel (Up here in Canadaland and I imagine much of America) animals are a legit safety concern which are largely ameliorated by driving a truck or SUV. quote:greater safety in most accident scenarios due to that greater ride height

All of GM's problems from before are still mostly the same problems. Any engine from GM's parts bin seems pretty good-to-great these days. I don't know why everyone doesn't get switchgear from whoever Toyota buys it from.

I have found that I don't really like power seats very much and miss the much faster manual ones in the Mazda 3. I would love to get a set of heated manual seats for my E46.

I haven't owned one since I was teenager, but they appear to be killing it segment wise in some aspects lately?

They're killing the Viper after this year or next, right? I've heard rumors that they're killing the Lx platform cars too (300, Charger, Challenger) too.

It'll be interesting to see how GM reacts. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford drops V8s after this generation or the next given the proliferation of turbo V6s through the lineup, although the Coyote does have design provisions to use direct injection and hasn't yet. Chrysler? Who the hell knows, we're not even sure if they're going to be making a car going forward. BMW/Merc/Audi all have big enough cars/luxury SUVs that they probably will keep V8s in the lineup for a while. Toyota seems to be pretty happy with getting multi-cycles (Atkinson and Otto) out of the dual injector tech plus hybrids. Nissan has been doing direct injection for a while and only seem to have V8s in luxury + trucks.

Winding Road posted videos of them scooting around some streets in a DCT version, and a manual version on a short autocross course. Hyundai also replaced the torsion beam rear end with a multi-link setup. I've never driven a Hyundai that didn't have an awful shifter.

Monkey Fracas posted:The best auto systems have been better than manuals for a long time at this point but how long have like more cheapo autos, something that would be shoved into an entry level compact, been better than a competent manual driver? Yeah, but how much do those cost? GM's implementation of the new 10 speed auto is slower than a manual in situations with corners. Sure, the PDK is stellar but you gotta buy a Porsche to get one.

Aside from being slow, the Mazda 3 is very engaging to drive, but I hear Honda has outdone themselves with the new Civic. I'd drive both and see what you like.

I've had commutes that involved an hour and a half of sitting in stop and go, and I've done that with both types of transmission. It's night and day. I don't agree. I got bored with an auto. And I was a courier in Miami traffic.

Cellular Suicide posted:They hit this on the head for us, and the article sums it up well. Our Outback is the perfect size for two kids and a stroller with all the shopping we need, or add a skybox for a week’s worth of camping gear. We cross-shopped SUVs and bought the Outback because my wife grew up with one and I loved my old Forester. We probably don’t need a third row SUV, but it will be hard to say no if this one is even remotely decent. I went "hummm tows 5k? I can put a car behind that easy..."

EnergizerFellow posted:GM has a top-exit supercharger with the heat exchangers are above/beside and part of the screw casing in the LC3/LSA/LS9/LT4, along with Chrysler on the Hellcat, but doing it in an on-road turbocharged application like this is new, near as I can tell. Even with top-mount Subaru and Mazda applications you still have a pretty conventional looking heat exchanger that is separate from the intake and not part of the intake itself. Marine is really easy since you should have a steady source of fresh coolant at all times. V8s and V6s are packed in such a way that this approach makes sense.
