kimbo305 posted:I thought lots of cars had lettering on the dash gauges for where the cap was? If anything, I like it when the nozzle on the diagram could be mentally pulled out and plugged into the the filler, which is not satisfied here. The arrow isn't great without accompanying text. Does it mean which side the filler is on, or how the nozzle should plug into the car? What? It always means what side the cap is on, i dont know how you would assume otherwise.

kimbo305 posted:All I'm saying is to reduce confusion if it all possible. On a shopping car, there's that placard that shows how you place your kid in the fold out "seat," along with 3 ways not to do it. On a shift knob, a pattern marks where the gates are located. These are all just little visual aids. It makes sense to me that, when my low fuel light comes on as a fuel pump, that maybe it's oriented that way for a reason. Should they also label the Gas pedals and Brake pedals for you? actually put a worded label on everything in the car, just in case.

Throatwarbler posted:The Durango V8 is a car with IRS that drives better than the Explorer and can tow 7,400lbs? It's even pretty close to the V6 Explorer in price. That's why I said Ford and GM have surrendered the market to Chrysler. The only other car(not 1/2t BOF truck) with IRS, 3 row seating and similar tow capacity is its platform mate Mercedes GL, which costs 2x as much. I would take it even if I don't tow - who wants a FWD 4 cylinder when you can have a V8? Nissan Pathfinder, up to 7,000 towing.

oRenj9 posted:I really don't understand why Nissan decided that the Juke should be a CUV. The Juke looks so much better sitting at a normal ride height. Plus, its specs and styling (in the sense that it is unique) are so close to the Mini; it seems like it could have made a great Mini/GTI fighter.

Top Gear posted:Both get a Subaru-derived flat-four engine and six-speed manual ‘box, with the option of a six-speed auto. Though ticking that one would be unbridled heresy. Output differs between the marques - the Scooby BRZ gets "less than 300bhp" while the FT-86 dangles around the 200bhp mark. Will be really interesting to see how these go, really surprised that Subaru isnt making an AWD version, and they cant say that every car in their lineup has AWD now. Is this the Suby 6 speed from the STI or is it a new box? I hope it's better then what they usually offer, every Subi I've driven hasn't had a very good shifter feel. Pretty excited to take one of these for a spin at some point though, about time theres a cheap RWD sports coupe that doesn't have a Hyundai badge on it.

Crustashio posted:Wait, the FT-86 is really going to be under 2000lb? With 200hp? How the hell do you accomplish that today. If it is true, I might seriously consider buying a new car... It's a new one, so its anywhere under 2,800lbs, which i still find hard toe believe.

Naky posted:That's pretty hosed. Here in Canada, you get a base model C series for about 1000/mo with 0 down leased. Literally pissing money away. Leases in Canada are probably the worst thing I've ever seen, Financing would be the same cost, and you keep the car and can sell it whenever you want. I dont know what is different then in the States, but it is huge.

Throatwarbler posted:It's not glossy so you can tell its real wood. I don't like wood panelling on most cars so don't feel strongly about it either way but at least it wont blind you in sunlight. I'm surprised how much I like the M56, saw it a few years ago at the auto show and thought it was awesome, dont remember the interior being that classy, that door panel is amazing.

After owning my S5 for a week all the controls were very natural and easy to use. Even with all the buttons surrounding the shifter. The only hard part was remembering that the volume knob is on the center console and stop turning up the blower instead.

If they went whole hog with the 405hp motor and AWD it might fetch a nice premium with only 250 models. Yeah Volvo doesn't exactly have the sporting cache that would get people to buy it just because its a special edition.

hedge posted:Everyone is calling out MyFord Touch, but Ford has other problems besides that. Their dual clutch transmission has been having problems (programming, bad clutch seals, etc.) and it's the only automatic offered on the Focus and Fiesta. Woah, didnt know that, I thought the trans on the Focus I had as a rental this week felt strange. Otherwise, they loving disabled the AUX-In and the SYNC usb port for some hosed up reason so I had to listen to the radio for the week. Also there is no storage in a Focus, big dash, no storage, bad cup holders, some of the lights/buttons dont make much sense. Drove nice, but I couldnt live with one.
