  1. imagine the engineers asking "has anyone ever made a 7 cylinder engine? ok let's make one"

  2.  @thenewhalogod  didn't think about that. ,as talking about the inline 7 one 🤔

  3. rear spoiler do reduce drag if they are properly designed, like basically any OEM spoiler. especially on hatchback/SUVs etc

  4. safety / dollar is OK on the cheap wheels. if you don't mind the added weight/loss of performance

  5. this hell at fuel pump sounds future proof for future WRX upgrades 😂

  6. now Tacoma with air lock diffs vs 4 motor hummer EV. wondering how much better can an offroader be with independent traction control on each wheel while still having freedom to handle turns with different speeds. plus crab mode..also trimotor cyber truck with off road traction control modes. not sure if the lack of low gear will be an issue but I think huge zero rpm torque should be enough. also independent suspension will keep wheels on/closer to the ground

  7. if you want best value/performance and you mean to drivr it hard and put a lot of miles I'd say get the core edition with LSD, just add track tires and a tune. keep the additional money for some upgrades. now if you buy it for resale value, maybe get the rare one, keep it mint and probably sell it for a lot of money in a few years

  8.  @kylemannmix  not only is it a fantastic car to drive, it was also leased $99 a month which was a pretty good deal. it also allowed people like me outside CA to get them on the cheap after 3 years lease are over, and low mileage (got it for 8k /25k miles). they have a liquid cooled battery that doesn't die prematurely like the leaf, you can fit 4 fit and agile adults in it if you really need , and the only time I had two adults in the back, they happened to own a mini Cooper and told me the back seats in the mini are not any larger despite the car being 10 inch longer. you can also load a good amount of stuff through the hatch with the seats down. so all in all if you already have one gas car, it's a pretty good second family car /commuter/get around town. you save time finding parking spot, money driving on electric, and it's quite zippy to dodge big ass trucks trying to crush you. by the the time traffic ligh goes green you're already far ahead. Also, it's funny that the 500e gets an F for not being practical and the S cars are mustang gt350 and viper...

  9. Cybertruck first electric truck announced shoots at the top of the list at 2.9s. probably not the first on the market though

  10. wait..the Corolla GR is going to be a sedan??

  11. the 500e is my daily driver abarth alternative that is dirt cheap to buy, free to recharge and I can trash on the streets silently (except for the tires) I love smoking bmw M's, AMG's, tesla''s with my 111hp FWD electric hatch. I dont care that they are not racing anyway 😂

  12. your logic only works if you're buying new. the guy that buys your 70k miles truck at new price makes a pretty shitty deal. the 4 yo cross over at 80% depreciation makes a pretty sweet one. also why buy a truck if you dont need the bed or the towing, and get crappy fuel economy, handling, suspensions and wind noise. also you seem to be pretty sure that crossovers are leaving dealer's lot at MSRP, which is not necessarily true. "The average five-year depreciation rate for an SUV is 50.8% according to iSeeCars. So this is higher than the average five-year depreciation rate of a pickup truck (44.1%)" so yeah that is a 1%/year difference that explains by the fact trucks are usually built to last longer, but it's hardly relevant. of course this is an average, and some deals are better than the others, also you cant always predict the depreciation, except a few models that hold up their value pretty consistently across the years. you have to be pretty biased if you think owning a used lamborghini is the same cost as owning a (new) crossover...I guess you are not comparing the same mileage either, forgetting about maintenance, gas price, insurance, and garage space. BTW all used cars are overpriced nowadays, so it doesnt mean much, I could also sell my crossover today with 50k at the same price I bought it with 15k to finish, lot or trucks buyer are spending a tons of money on options and aftermarket parts that have very low resale value. so in the end just buy what you want/need, if you're really worried about value, just try to be smart about buying/selling at the right time so your not the one taking the most depreciation

  13.  @dragonofyorha  value is in the eye of the beholder. whether what you value the most is your car/house/sport gear/travels/art/knowledge/health/.... is up to you. But, i dont think people really buy cars as pure appliance in the US , if people didn't buy for status/trends/style/comfort/performance people would still be buying 100hp sedans/hatchbacks, wagons/minivans or cheap white single cab trucks that will move people or haul stuff for cheap and the average new price wouldnt be 45k. If you travel in poorer countries and rent cheap cars you'll see what pure appliance car is, with engine that feels like its coming from a lawnmower. even a base us spec corolla looks luxury and fast in comparison. its just that car enthusiasts dont have the same criterias and what some love, others hate. a peeky, noisy, high revving naturally aspirated engine is not desirable for most people, especially if its nto matched with a manual, and a turbocharged downsized engine makes more usable power for daily driving. a 2021 honda odyssey is also quicker 0-60 and quarter mile than a vtec civic from the 90's those cars form the 80's or even 90's wouldn't be so desirable(expensive) if they weren't that rare in good condition.

  15.  @JakkeJakobsen  I've sat and road tripped in all those brands TBH I was never particularly impressed. I prefer my Kia Sorento cloth seats to the leather found in those brands. I love nice leather but not for car seats the volvos where probably 20-30yo 200-300k miles though 😂 not leather and in terrible shape with no more headliner, exposed wires, but still going strong... others almost new rentals or cars in the family I drove on long trips. what is considered luxury in cars is mostly about brand image, appearance, materials and sounds, and gadgets. all mostly minor things IMO except for the sound/quietness. in that regard Tesla gave me a similar premium look to lets say a Lexus, with a more modern design than Lexus that looks more like a retired person car. tesla slightly worse in terms of materials but it was a realtively high mile Model 3 that was doing 1200miles commute every weekend. better in terms of sound (especially that hybrid CVT that screams whenever you press the accelerator)

  16. kudos to early 1900's record holders for driving right behind a 15L engines with 4 wheels, ready to spill hot engine oil all over the place, and hardly any brakes. even more insane, being stuck between two 22L engines 😂 and all subsequent record holders for driving fiberglass coffins x00mph outside paved roads!

  17. ok I guess you live in the US. spitting your glass when you hear a decent bottle of wine costs around $8

  18. what's with the the red skin color? thought that was a joke about the wine sponsoring...dont you have heating at donut media? or too much heating?

  19.  @manager96ful  there has been probably much more effort hacking Tesla's software locked features like fsd, free supercharging, than will ever be hacking these cars, with little success. (short lived power boost hack using hardware device). not that hard to make system secure (enough):with closed software and hardware.

  20.  @dilucrgnvndr1971  same for my 500e battery replacement is the new car's price or 3x the used price with 30k miles or 20years of $99 lease. I think paying for the predicted battery dépréciation based on your mileage instead of paying big price upfront embedded in the car's price plus a huge cost higher than what the car's worth after ten years is actually worse than a subscription. they just have to come with a lower price per mile to reflect the actual battery degradation. maybe higher fixed price though. adding $.11 or .13 per mile if you are driving between 300 to 1000miles per month which is where a majority of people will stand on months where they don't do long trips, is too much (almost like gas price). this also shows that buying long range EVs only makes financial sense if you drive (much?) more than the average driver

  21.  @solocamo3654  it's good to have options. rent your home if your situation is not very stable and need predictable housing expenses. finance it if you don't have the cashor want to afford bigger/better, meaning you will probably never own it fully before you sell it. some people also spend less using ride-sharing/renting than owning a car car subscription models were not interesting last time I checked but if you sel while used price are lease your car

  22.  @CordayCorday  they sell the car on auction and someone will either scrap for parts or salvage it.

  23.  @VAISHALIDORANALA  guess what, every car has a cost per mile, obvious like gas, charging, and less obvious (tires, maintenance), plus a cost when the car sits and doesn't drive too (fluids, corrosion, plastics/leather aging). it's up to you if it's worth it or not but a fixed cost of $40 pee month for the battery is actually lower than if you own your battery.

  24.  @frederictrm566  it's called a check engine light. you can ignore it but unless you've checked the error code it's not safe to keep driving. of course I know it won't trigger for wiper fluid

  27. it's a good small car but better of the highway. I mean it will do short stretches ok, up to 85mph, but as you said the already short range will suffer and with no fast charging you better get home with some charge left, or have destination charging

  28. each forged wheel costs about the same as one stitched horse on the headrest

  29. not bad 18hp from an aircooled carburated 2 valve 200cc . duke 200 makes 26hp stock /87mph with liquid cooled DOHC 4 valves.

  32. No way I'll ever use self driving in residential areas if it does fully stop at every 4 way stop. road signs are not meant to be followed to the letter. if the self driving software is not able to run safely through a 4 way stop safely with all the cameras, I would trust it to drive at higher speeds either..For now I'd rather just use my common sense and drive myself. Sounds good for highway on long trips though

  35.  @Nefariousrouge  it would be possible if the device had enough processing power/memory, plus access to low level parameters / sensors through OBD to run some self optimizing software. but definitely not at this price/size/weight. anyway it's more likely that the engineers did a better job on the factory tune

  36.  @Bangin0utWest  hybrid is just an example to show that depending on the load, the highest gear (lowest shifting point) is not always the most efficient one. it's the same for higher performance engines, low shift points are only "eco" if you're feathering the throttle.

  37. where is Lada

  38. cars are faster not only thanks to tires improvements! it's mostly thanks to higher power! more speeds too, and wider power band thanks to turbos,electronic injection, and ecus. traction matters at launch but for most cars (not talking sports cars) losing traction in a straight line on dry pavement that's only at launch with clutch or torque converter (and if it's not awd). so in this case, better traction helps but for a quarter mile on a family car it's as important as power/weight ratio, aero, gear ratios and transmission speed.

  39. virginia is no joke, the only place ive been pulled over for speeding 😂 was doing 58 in a 35 cop was nice didnt gave me wreckless driving (20+). I didnt see the cop with the light behind me right away, thenI thought he just wanted to owss me so I kept driving 😂

  41. if your AC uses 20hp you have either a very large cabin, or a very inefficient AC. or you live on another planet with -100 or +200. more realistically your car idles at very low load and makes much less than 20hp at idle

  43. @Anoneemus Noename well after a few years, it's the car itself that determines if the name will be cool. a lada Chiron will never sound as cool as a Bugatti. or a Trabant F1

  44. I'll give you another sleeper, fiat 500e it's not sporty looking like the Abarth. but 0-30 in 3 secs, 0-60 in 8s. it might sounds unimpressive, but it will do it in relative silence (except tires chirping and the whine from the motor), so repeatably, effortlessly, smoothly and easily, wether it's 100° or you just turned on the car and it's 3°. I drive city/ suburban roads with it and it and just casually applying half throttle it will put several car length behind 99% of the cars including Tesla's. not pretending to be seriously racing anyone but it's just a very fun and zippy commuter/daily driver, much quicker in real life than my 6.9s sorento and won't overheat after one or two launches. and you can use most of the performance without it being brutal, jerky, loud, and without dumping loads of CO2 or worrying about gas price.onlu car that completely left me in the dust though was an i8, but I live in a very calm neighborhood, very few shenanigans out there even if most people have expensive/quick cars.

  45. are high tech lock pickers that you just insert and do all the work for you in a couple seconds like MI or James Bond stuff actually a thing? sounds like it could be possible for one specific type of key but one universal tool that's very compact and opens everything in a couple seconds...not so much

  47. maybe you could add also 4. at such high revs filling the cylinder with fresh air and fuel, mixing it before ignition, and pushing exhaust gas out becomes an issue ? for example using direct injection, air and fuel have only so little time to mix, so if you have pockets of very lean or very rich air fuel mixture, combustion is less efficient and slower, making point 3. even worse

  48. next test is cheap harbor freight bolt vs expensive titanium bolt..

  49. the front transmission that is only used in snow or comfort mode, not in 4/6/7 gears, and only when you have wheel slip, costs more than half the cost of the car ? If you're really going to drive in the snow I say just let it in RWD and invest in a set of winter wheels/tires that wil work better than a 20/80% front/rear AWD mode
    1
  50. smart is also RWD rear-engine (fun to drive on the snow), with a downsized turbo three cylinders (pretty forward thinking in 1997) with low gearing (85mph) a 6speed sequential transmission, decently quick at city speeds. it also had very little suspension so drove more like a go kart. it was actually good on gas 50+ mpg, and you could get it as a convertible and/or brabus version. good for european cities, it was just too expensive
