Naky posted:I must be missing something because I don't see the point in releasing a 1.4L turbo that puts out pretty much the same numbers as the 1.8L. The 1.4L is better and they should just make it standard across the line. They still dont have direct injection too iirc which is amazing the numbers they have as is.

Has anyone driven a chevy cruze eco 6 speed? I'm still at a loss what to do car wise. One part of me wants to be an idiot and buy a mustang boss 302 and the other be economical and get a cruze or go in between and get a gti update. Still might fix the 5.3L s10 blazer swap...

thesurlyspringKAA posted:I dont get the "point" of the Veloster. Same engine and gas mileage and price as an Elantra, but with less utility? Can it even be that much quicker? I thought it was supposed to have some little turbo motor... Handles better and possibly a reworked transmission? There might possibly be a turbo 4 one later.

The front of that colorado is terrible. The australian one i think looked ok last I checked. The chevy one reminds me of the lady in the black hole sound music video with her lips.

Cream_Filling posted:Also having them two to a side would echo the distinctive 2+2 taillights that every Corvette has had since forever. Also just generally a row of 4 just looks goofy. At that point you might as well just stack them into a cube like Pagani does or just have two big ones or something. What about stacks through the roof?

Snowdens Secret posted:Almost nothing. It gives the numbers in the article; about $40 million, for 4000 jobs, or roughly $10k an employee, which might cover relocation expenses, maybe. The city of Plano is probably going to give some property tax breaks for the new HQ but that's about it. I think they did it to get closer to their roots of suburbia and making bland designs for soccer moms. Maybe the toyota can be voted on by home owner associations there.

You think they will make a sport version of the f150 with the v8, short bed, single cab, quicker steering ratio, and sporty lower trim? Be kinda cool to have sport trucks back again in the smaller size but a tuned v8 doing sub 5 0-60 would be hot too. Still miss the s10 and colorado zq8 packages, shame they never got the 5.3L option in a single cab.

They could probably make a unibody ranger with 1200lb bed capacity and 3000lb towing capacity and sell well. I got my 97 ranger and handles plenty for me, daily driver, and lets me keep my 350z low miiles. Never really have any problems with it and if anything goes bad the parts are all $50 or less it seems.

I should have said "cloth" seats instead of not leather. I live somewhere that rains a lot and is hot so the thought of leather combined with salt shadows from swamp rear end on the seats is not appealing.

Chevy 4.3L v6 is pushrod and pretty small but decent power. 285HP @ 5300rpm and 305FT/LBS @ 3900. Would go good in the Camaro over the 3.6L 323hp @ 6800rpm and 278FT/LBS @ 4800.

It is sad how honda was once the leader in 4 cylinders and outdid everyone to now being the iron duke of modern times. You would think Honda could push out an SI with a 250hp NA or a 300HP turbo si by now.

Sinestro posted:Yes, it is offered with that engine. But I guarantee that most of them have the VQ37VHR, a 3.7L V6 with about 300 hp. Or about the same thing you get in a V6 Impala. It's a loving boring car that happens to be RWD and offered with a good engine. I believe they are 330hp now. This is a low 5 second 0-60 and mid 13's 1/4 mile car which is pretty impressive for what it is. I think you are thinking of the G25 as the boring one. Impala is down 20hp, weighs 200lbs more, and probably has some sloppy wishbone rear suspension. Impala 1/4 mile 15.6 seconds http://www.motorweek.org/reviews/road_tests/2014_chevrolet_impala 328HP G37 1/4 mile at 13.5 seconds http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0810_2008_infiniti_g37_sedan_test/

Isn't the single cab f150 with the 2.7L in 2wd like 4300lbs now? It might be a lot like most truck ratings though where epa cycle says a lot more than reality where cars often do better? I know a lot of the trucks that say 22mpg highway you are lucky to ever get more than 17-18mpg combined in reality. Where a car rated at 28mpg highway will a lot of times get that combined. Who knows.

I would think 310hp fwd could be doable at $30k stripped, awd they'd need 320hp to justify it being $35k. The 310 and fwd seems logical so it doesn't step on the mustangs toes.

Throatwarbler posted:I guess the Z is one of those cars that only make sense in Japan or some other place where American cars don't exist. It's not faster than a Mustang or Camaro, it doesn't have a roundel or 3 pointed star on the hood, it's not particularly good looking, costs $35K+ and it only seats 2 people? Who is the target market for this? I like my 350z hr but i also got it used with 16000 miles for $18k. Insurance was a lot less than a wrx and the 4.6L mustang was pretty bad mpg wise and ragged out factor at the time. The new mustang v6 is better with the gt handling/brake package now though.
