General Car Discussion

My only experience with them is getting high while working on one in high school shop class. It was sitting partially disassembled behind the building and had wild marijuana growing around it, and I basically just sat in a weed bush for two and a half hours taking it apart.

 

I hope these Alpines depreciate hard and fast, cause I want one

They weigh under 1100kg all in, meaning they aren't far off an Elise, yet they are much more liveable. All that weight reduction means it should drive superbly and the reviews seem to mirror that. Plus it will do 46.3mpg(imperial), in a car that does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, because lightweight. Plus its a bit quirky which is always good.

 

off topic i know, but wow this is a fast UK bus, especially one designed for round-town duty. 290hp!

 

Jesus that’s fast.

 

This looks like a Spanish X5 x Buick Encore IMHO.

 

One of the rare cases of a retro design being brilliantly executed.

 

Especially that most failed to achieve greatness like their predecessors.

Since Ferrari is officially planning a CUV, I decided to do a very rough render of what it could look like:

 

LMAO, I didn't even think about that when I finished.

 

Remember when turbo's on cars were a sign of power, not fuel economy? pepperidge farm remembers.

soz for dead meme.

 

This kinda reminds me of the Titan Warrior concept Nissan premiered 2 years ago.

I cannot beleive somebody hasn’t posted this. Looks fantastic! Will have a B58, which meas it will be smooth, powerful, and sound excellent.

I am so excited! Hopefully they depreciate like a rock so I can buy one in a couple of years.

 

Be interesting to see who wears the platform better, Toyota or BMW

 

It's basically a Japanese hard-top Z4 though.

America:


UK, Europe:
Fiesta St-Line

 

Licensed Skodas are older games (Colin McRae Rally 1, Rally Championship 2000, Rally Championship Extreme, Playstation WRC games, World Racing 2, Sega Rally, Tommi Mäkinen Rally, V-Rally).

Modern games have some problems with company license, that's why they are not in. Only with fake names (My Summer Car, ArmA series, Driving Simulator, ETS2, ...)

Without that problem I think that they could be in plenty of games, Skoda rally cars are one of the best and known all over the world I think.

(Fabia R5 is in the recent WRC series because they have complete WRC and WRC2 championship license.)

 

I AM GOING TO MAKE A BET (YOU CAN MARK MY WORDS ON IT)

The new supra is going to be SIGNIFICANTLY better than the new Z4 to look at and drive, will be more reliable, and sell half-decently.

 

It's like saying an Opel Astra is somehow better than a Saturn Astra from the same plant.

 

Suspension, some interior bits, ecu tuning, and body all are proprietary.

Lol I didn’t even know there was a saturn astra

 

I guess Ford has a surplus of Fiesta parts down in Mexico for the American market. Or maybe they got cold feet about the whole SUV-only thing...

Nah, it's the former.
