  1. lexus back on track looks to be the ultimate daily for most people, myself included haha
    223
  2. People who are stuck up in the notion "american cars can't turn" need to look at one of these
    166
  3. valid point but Honda also sells many Civic Si and those are manual only I also see a lot of FoST, FiST, and STI, which are all manual only in the US,
    16
  4.  @divimport2  the C7 GS is gonna be a good value used but I just like the way this sounds haha
    15
  5. ford cheaped out with the expedition so that they can push people to get the much nicer navigator
    14
  6.  @mandylewis8201  yeah AWD, but you pay extra and its not even that great. Fit and a decent set of snow tires will do just fine
    10
  7. cough savagegeese also more speaker==! better sounding
    9
  8. torsion beam is a sad loss but im more upset that they purposely overstyled the rear hatch's c pillar
    9
  9. modern autos shift way better on average than 80s slushboxes and return better MPGs than manuals main examples being ZF 8AT, VW DSG, Porsche PDK, etc main issue resides in the tuning tbh
    8
  10.  @buffkangaroodog  something something image and we have the si here though no hatch which sucks
    8
  11. The last Samurai was pretty popular despite being heinously slow The real reason it stopped being sold in the US is because Consumer Reports tried to defame Suzuki by working with Jeep to sue for Rollovers
    7
  12. would rather have an E400 over this
    6
  13.  @Bruce.-Wayne  fwiw a lot of JDM fanbois shit on american cars too without realizing that their hero cars in stock form arent really all that fast nowadays ~honda fan
    5
  14.  @divimport2  oh and the ZL1 shits on the m4 and 911 Carerra if you wanna be faster than a ZL1 you're gonna need at least a turbo which costs 2.5x as much so gg
    5
  15.  @ekgcanadianenthusiast9961  their infotainment and platforms were outdated asf And still are on the IS
    5
  16.  @Varekai0723  im 19 myself and i cant identify with milennials imo the definition should be people born in 1980-1995 old enough to remember the 90s
    4
  17. Manuals on economy cars aren't that bad these days. I drove my fit manual in NYC traffic, and I was fine lol
    4
  18. being a BMW product is probably making 330ish at the crank
    3
  19. GM's battery technology is far superior to what honda can muster at the current moment. hondas previous attempts at Mainstream EVs have been a failure
    3
  20.  @KUzZ911  the only tesla you can really get for this price is the lower trims of the model 3 while being faster and more trendy, they will last nowhere near as well as the rav4
    3
  21. I would love for this to get at least the supercruise if not the ar camera option
    3
  22. would have chosen the N if it was the i30N Veloster N 3.5 doors dont do it for me and the R is more practical for me in that regard also hate the rear end on the Veloster
    3
  23. that has nothing to do with what wheels are being driven
    3
  24. Americans seem to hate hatchbacks yet love when they are lifted for some reason
    3
  25. why does everything need a burble tune these days
    3
  26. I wish Hyundai just brought the i30N over- way more practical, better looking. Then they'd really have a GTI killer on their hands
    3
  27. par for the course in this segment also this is the top trim so people are spending $80k on F250s welcome to the new era of luxury truck
    2
  28. if you dont need the 3 rows its also a lot cheaper, a little better on gas, and the K20C is going to be easier to service than the J30AC
    2
  29. this is literally following every single CUV trend the main difference here is that you get a turbo boxer engine instead of an inline 4 turbo or a V6
    2
  30.  @ericmotion4488  i live in NYC and frequently travel around the Northeast so yeah they're not exactly uncommon Although I do see more Pilots still Case in point the Ascent isn't all that special in this segment Id rather have a Telluride because Kia nailed the interior in them
    2
  31. they've contracted their sports cars to other manufacturers before this is nothing new the 2000GT everyone loves is a Yamaha design
    2
  32. but the average bmi is much much over
    2
  33. this wouldnt look so bad lowered as a proper wagon
    2
  34. you can get a MK7 GTi for about the same if not less than this fully loaded hatch
    2
  35. this car is a summation of everything I hate with CUVs useless slow lifted hathcback sold at a greater price for Karens who need to brag about the "tech"
    2
  36. its more pfoitable for businesses to make turbo cars that require extensive maintainance and break down every few years so you can get a new one
    2
  37. and a diesel too the overseas LandCruiser 70 has a similar footprint, much more old school in the fact that it has solid front axles+5 speed manual+twin turbodiesel 4.5 v8 the 150 Prado Utility (aka Lexus GX sans the v8) has a 2.4l i4 turbodiesel, shares platforms with the 4Runner and has a manual
    2
  38. basically designed for people who only care for the MB badge
    2
  39. this is the reason why Mitsubishi is still relevant in North America
    2
  40. @MaKoGaMeR 2017 minivans and station wagons exist as well as hatchbacks like the civic type r crossovers only exist because people need to stroke their egos and want the IMAGE of something rugged but in tun they're driving what is essentially a minivan/hatchback/station wagon on stilts, depending on size with less space also vans are the best people movers because you have insane cargo space WITH the third row up and sliding doors offer better ingress or egress if a van is too big, a Civic hatchback like the type r, or the golf alltrack, or tourx regal are great dailies without needing an unnecessarily high CoG and still have as much if not more space as with any other compact CUV, while also being much better to drive My parents hate crossovers so we have a Honda Odyssey and toyota sienna instead :)
    2
  41.  @ericksanchez7787  the type r would pull away after 60
    2
  42. But its also smaller and 4 cylindef only :/
    2
  43.  @coooolsmurffff  TH also does better analyses of cars that are more relevant to the car and consumer who wants to buy one.
    2
  44. i dont mind the X7 existing but if really needed something to haul kids around, id get a minivan and an M2 for myself with the price of this one lol
    2
  45.  @bluebandzbenji  good to know. This car wasn't really made for the drag strip
    2
  46.  @ryanlavallee3239  more for cost tbh the interior redesign doesnt sounc cheap
    2
  47. this thing would suck off road the 200 series/LX 570 have Live rear axle, locking diffs, and really good articulation this is essentially a 5 series made into being a minivan
    2
  48. A45 costs $20k more, S not even sold in NA, less interior space, too many computers, automatic only, bleh awd A45 is the ultimate car for "I do highway pulls to impress the ladies because I'm a chav" also it sounds lame for the price tbh, would rather have a m340i
    2
  49. say what you want about fca but gotta hand it to them for slapping this engine in a sedan , suv, and now a pickup truck too
    1
  50. this is probably the best choice if you want to keep your SUV in the next 15 years or if an apocalypse happens whichever first
    1
  51. minivans have more cargo space and the Sienna has AWD most people never take their SUVs beyond a gravel driveway if i needed true offroad performance id skip this car and get a Land Cruiser
    1
  52.  @wonkydada  you can fit 295s in the front on stock fender btw
    1
  53. nissan could restore its reputation by putting more manuals in cars like these instead of their craptastic CVT
    1
  54. most fk8s are holding their values too well- 50k mile FK8s are still being sold around $33k usd, for a car that was $35k USD in 2017. Most FK8s have also been modified and/or abused at this point, and I wouldn't trust a tuned FK8 unless I knew the seller personally. People also say the EN is more fun to drive too. personally id also consider that the EN comes with a warranty whereas the FK8 is aging.
    1
  55.  @BlueFL5  yeah but you're stil paying inflated prices for a used honda that has a fair share of miles and abuse (even if "stock" whats to say it wasn't beat on?) id argue the EN still holds its own since a) thres more configuratbility vs fk8, newer tech, seats 5, not 4, physical handbrake, and optional dct for lazy people. Reliability is still dubious on the N stuff but its not like the Honda stuff is issue free either lol. I own an Fl5 and there's been reports of FK8s, FL5s and DE5s with coolant expansion tank failures, leaky valve gasket seals, and general QC issues. Id take it over an EN too, but I'm glad the EN exists to get Honda to do better
    1
  56. Indian market Hondas suck lol
    1
  57. the manual isnt as engaging as the Civic Si let alone as the type R- the inputs feel off for the power levels. I think they did it on purpose to make everyone buy the DCT, and its working
    1
  58.  @MichaelBertolino  I drive my Fl5 in NYC traffic all the time.
    1
  59.  @DragonKnightX12  the Si and A spec integra at the same price range have ACC. the accord 2.0t manual sold in this price range had it too in 2018. I don't use ACC all the time but its nice to have for road trips. i think the lack of ACC on this isn't the dealbreaker as some ppl make it out to be, it still has normal cruise lol
    1
  60. tbh this is the best of the 1500s
    1
  61. the SAWC in this is trash the evo had proper S-AWC
    1
  62. they need to put this engine with the S5/SQ5/S4 tbh would make them sound a hell of a lot better than the vacuum cleaner V6s they have currently
    1
  63. Team Minivan>>>>>Team 3 row CUV Minivans just do a better job when you need to haul 5+ people AND also carry cargo at the same time parents 2005 Odyssey fits more stuff in the rear with the 3rd row up than my uncle's pilot with his 3rd row up
    1
  64. Car Driver did this comparison and they felt the Type R was the better choice
    1
  65. or, you can buy a toyota sienna and then spend the rest of the money on an performance sedan or even sports car and have a better performance car and a better family hauler at the same time.
    1
  66. indeed puts all these other 3 row CUVs to shame
    1
  67. rather would have an RS4 Avant hopefully the RS6 Avant compels Audi to bring the other Avants here
    1
  68. audi fake exhausts are laughably bad
    1
  69.  @pkdude5334  Odyssey 3rd row still better than the pilot imo ingress/egress way better on the Odyssey and theres more legroom for the 3rd row
    1
  70. You can buy like 7 LC500s for the price of 1 SVJ. Or one LC500 and a really nice house
    1
  71. id just get a Volvo cross country wagon if it were me lol
    1
  72. a vehicle desgined to be driven daily should not have a control interface that impedes on daily driving activities VW designers all need to take a field trip to Honda hq and learn how to actually design a proper compact car interior in the year 2021
    1
  73. it kicks on whenever the computer detects slippage/loss of traction at the front, as with most FWD based AWDs if you want to control between 2WD and AWD/4WD, cosnider a truck or SUV
    1
  74. GT500 is probably fastest of them all on a track but id rather have this
    1
  75. id assume they're built on a similar platform
    1
  76. Get the SS
    1
  77. we're getting the 2 series GT which is basically the FWD 1 series but fastback we wont get the 1 series hatch, but the X2 is basically a lifted version of that
    1
  78. the EN is actually the better chassis vs i30n, but id still rather have the hatch bodystyle
    1
  79. Fuck crackle and pop tunes. They're 20 year old boys to impress their minor gfs in parking lots in their fiesta
    1
  80. hyundai priroritizes dct sales and production. its hard to get a manual EN. the dct also gets a sunroof in the US, manual does not.
    1
  81. so why not just stick with the sienna lol id gladly ditch an explorer for one (unless i lived in rough terrain or needed to tow)
    1
  82. They cancelled the LC F
    1
  83. kinda weird how only hyundai does this, at least that's publically talked about. I drive my type R everyday and it would be annoying having to drive a little bit every time to make sure the engine was making the correct boost
    1
  84. this has a better ranger then a tesla im willing to bet also EV charging stations arent as spread out yet this also packs in a lot for less or equal to the price of a 2WD Model 3 and Mitsubishi is transitioning to full electric anyways
    1
  85. yeah i wish it was more chiseled to match the aggression in the front
    1
  86.  @alansmilealot  misaki nakahara from "welcome to the nhk"
    1
  87. you guys should have done the wagon!
    1
  88. towing, offroading, seats 7-8 in comfort
    1
  89. cool caricature of a defender but an insult to the original imo its really more the new Discovery
    1
  90. that sounds about as german as it gets
    1
  91. that would defeat the point if you want a fast automatic hot hatch, get a GTi
    1
  92.  @iHaveTheDocuments  those who drive crossovers don't deserve to merge
    1
  93.  @emdeee94  you act like having more space in a smaller car is a bad thing?
    1
  94. @Gabriel Fernandez ooooor the civic hatch just got larger and is on par if not exceeding the space of many crossovers
    1
  95. the new fwd 1 series is for people who want a mini cooper but want a worse car at a higher price
    1
  96. standard exhaust looks so much better than sport
    1
  97.  @downsouthlouisiana  its the same sh-awd system lmao honda just calls it i-vtm4 but its the same operation
    1
  98.  @xkramz31  its the same on all pilots with awd. The trailsport is just lifted a bit with skid plates and offroad tires
    1
  99. for starters nobody in NA can get in one of these rn because of the global situation also the title says "in-depth look" not a "review" so and having an all touch screen interior IS a deal breaker if you use your car on the daily Honda tried touch media controls in 2016 and they got so much flack for it they reverted back to mostly to simple buttons and knobs looks like VW did not get the memo
    1
  100. so you just want a minivan
    1
  101. sucks to hear about the roads, but what SUV do you plan on buying? Id say get a Pilot or if you and your wife are fine with it, look for an imported Mitsubishi Delica 4x4- turbodiesel 4wd van with loads of ground clearance and solid axle to boot or a Quigsley 4wd E series or Chevy Express
    1
  102. this thing looks even worse in person whoever buys one of this (which the Karens and instagram influencers will buy in hordes) is blind and tasteless
    1
  103. would be neat but its fwd based transverse engine, so there's not enough room or you run into a 3000GT scenario where a simple fix becomes a nightmare
    1
  104. And its still nicer inside than any dodge ever made. Not every car is about power numbers
    1
  105.  @kevinvojta692  not meant to be a handling car but go on , its a grand tourer you could buy a C8 Z51 for like $15k less and smoke this around a track but which one do you think has the nicer interior fit for a long trip
    1
  106.  @kevinvojta692  keep telling yourself that the quality of the LC interior is head and shoulders above any FCA product
    1
  107.  @kevinvojta692  since when was RAM making luxury car interiors? most truck interiors are still lacking versus an actual proper luxury car. RAM just happens to be the nicest still not as nice as an actual luxury coupe
    1
  108.  @kevinvojta692  modern mercedes and audi interiors arent all that great either unless you're in an s class the LC is also above those too
    1
  109.  @kevinvojta692  sat in both an LC and a new charger The LC is a world above no matter how nice the charger is. The only delusional person here is you
    1
  110. CVTs can hold a turbo at peak boost better though iirc
    1
  111.  @jonastonas8159  thats because they offer huge discounts and their cars cost less than the competition
    1
  112. the Metris is garbage tier and is clearly a commerical vehicle Europe gets the V class, which is the luxury version and actually does give the X7 a run for its money
    1
  113. Navigator is larger and has a better 3rd row
    1
  114. golf interior looks like it was designed for people who forgot how to smile, the r is fwd 90% of the time, and there's the whole water pump issue (among others) on the mk7 which would prevent me from owning one ever
    1
  115. Tbh the SOHC J series is fine fot what it is The DOHC 2GR in the Sienna is still better though
    1
  116. better than Cayenne turbo even?
    1
  117. my parents did that with our Sienna in the us lol
    1
  118. The only real flaw with this car is the infotainment But that can easily be glossed over with its looks, dynamics, and feel People who say this is slow, expensive, or compare this to a C8, AMG, etc just don't get it and never will This isn't built to appease people who get high off numbers and bench racing. This is for people who enjoy a solid driving experience and gret engine soundtrack, of which there are not that many people left sadly
    1
  119. the JCW costs $15k more, auto only, and people have said the driving experience sucks the best one was the R56 and they lost it ever since
    1
  120. This car is not about power. You can buy a 707hp Durango Hellcat that's faster to 60 for the price of these, but that means you missed the point. 471hp is enough to cruise and still can get you in trouble. Not everything in life is about cumming over 0-60 numbers
    1
  121. i wanna see an i30N first
    1
  122. Suzuki made a better Jeep than Jeep themselves did in 2020
    1
  123. it looks good in sunlight but awful when its cloudy
    1
  124. idk why you would get his when the Sienna or Carnival exist anyone with a brain knows minivans are superior i just watch these cause thestraightpipes are so good at what they do
    1
  125. minivans+snow tires in the winter are more than enough for most families would rather have one over a 3 row CUV tbh
    1
  126. its all a ruse to get people bragging on how they paid for extra features that most Hondas and Kias have standard now lol
    1
  127. honestly i like the idea of this but its a tough sell against a yukon let alone an escalade
    1
  128.  Covert Cam  K series cheaper to source and find parts for and makes more usable power NA
    1
  129. yeah the X7 headlights could be 20% larger tbh
    1
  130. Telluride if you want a fake minivan since it does the job better Subaru went super lazy on this one ngl
    1
  131. The elantra is way overstyled and tucson has shitty gloss black plastic. Koreans just go to whatever is trending in style and leave the classiniess to top luxury cars
    1
  132. Anyone who buys a an 850i or some boring german coupe over this is a boring person
    1
  133. this car is the end of an era its not perfect but its damn good perfectionists can go suck it and buy a boring 8 series
    1
  134. when a cayman is too practical and an evora too cliche, you get this haha
    1
  135. your point is? you can get a mustang gt with 460hp for a few grand more
    1
  136. the problem with this is that its an old school Chevy Tahoe and it barely hides the fact the next Escalade will get IRS and hopefully the blackwing v8 as an option
    1
  137. Ford made a better retro rig than Land Rover ever could
    1
  138. shame the 2000GT was a Yamaha idea right? or the fact that they asked Lotus to help them with the AW11 MR2?
    1
  139. soo much better than the Veloster N tbh
    1
  140. well if they were paid they wouldnt be shitting on the interior so hard lmao
    1
  141. next WRX/STi probably getting this motor Forester XT is dead now
    1
  142. just get decent snow tires mazda awd in harsh weather isnt anything to write home about without the proper tires
    1
  143. cadillac making better BMWs than BMW themselves
    1
  144. toyota is the master of that
    1
  145. i think the X7 is one of the best looking BMWs on sale today, for better or for worse
    1
  146. XC90 has a better interior imo, BMW has a better engine
    1
  147. except for the part where all touch controls are a terrible idea
    1
  148. people in Canada make less money so they have to make their cars full of features at a lower price to make up for it
    1
  149. other than the night vision or towing (which the wagoneer would be better for) why not just get the pacficia awd?
    1
  150.  @bluebandzbenji  this car isnt about launching its about lap times. I think a hellcat is more suited to you lol
    1
  151. the ridiculous touchscreen in those turn me off id rather just save and wait for an Aviator
    1
  152. french cars are trash so we're not missing a whole lot (unless its an A110)
    1
  153. is it a widespread issue
    1
  154. All the money went into making it faster than imports :)
    1
  155. get an M760 then, because V12
    1
  156. this is also body on frame
    1
  157. 4ws is pretty old tech lol Honda had it in the 80s
    1
  158. afaik the grind is more due to driving error ie slam shifting it k series trans are known for grind lol
    1
  159. morizo only has 2 seats btw. also its a fwd based awd system, you'd be disappointed if you wanted rwd shenanigans to begin with
    1
  160. according to Jack Baruth these are rarer than hellcats so they might be worth something in the future when having an NA high revving V8 will be extinct
    1
  161. these were never meant to be launched like a drag car
    1
  162. minivans have better 3rd rows than CUVs in my experience but to each his own
    1
  163. the golf R is fwd most of the time due to the nature of haldex also they did make non-GTI 4motion Golf Sportwagens and the Alltrack until the end of Mk7 generation so
    1
  164. Subaru owners care more about how the awd is split when they feel scared in the rain over the cars looks
    1
  165. nope get the forte for that
    1
  166. I personally find the Veloster N to be hideous and impractial and wish they sold the i30N in the US, which is far better looking and better competes with the rest of the hot hatches in the market
    1
  167. the part where its just as fast as its awd competition, weighs the lightest in its class, has the most interior space in its class, etc.
    1
  168.  @rd5140  yeah the mdx 3rd row is more comprable to an x7. i dunno why people insist on comparing it to the x5 when the mdx is clearly meant to be a 3 row whereas the x5 is a 2 row
    1
  169.  @EscapementWatch  clearly you guys weren't in the majority because they changed it anyways
    1
