Cars you would HATE to have

Just sayin':



And that's a crash between a fullsize wagon "built like a tank" and a relatively modern citycar...

 

A possible reason is that car torsional rigidity has greatly improved over the years.
http://youwheel.com/home/2016/06/20/car-body-torsional-rigidity-a-comprehensive-list/

The late 70s Mazda RX-7 FB had a TR of about 9150 Nm/°, the mid-2000s RX-8 had a TR of about 30,000 Nm/°.

The 70s Ford Maverick had around 4400 Nm/°, a modern Fusion has 19,286 Nm/°.

 

Not only torsional, overall rigidity has increased. Increased torsional rigidity alone doesn't change much. Torsional rigidity is just how much it takes to twist the body.

 

Though it's not that unimportant.

 

In what? Torsional rigidity is about resistance to twist (forces coming from the underside in case of a car).

Why?

 

Juke

 

Any car that moves is fine for me.

 

any Pickup with a Cummins diesel in it

erm...Wrong thread this thread is about hated cars not adored cars

 

Older Cumminses are some of the strongest engines on the planet (though nothing can beat old Mercs and Detroit Diesels).

 

its hideous!

 

*an engine that makes lung cancer like a cig

 

It's a big diesel, what the hell did you expect?

It's a car.

 

lets be real diesels are the worst engines ever made like when rev a diesel when its cold in the winter then the lifespan of a diesel gets shorter next years winter heating up the car shortens the lifespan of a diesel engine petrol engine is powerful and doesnt die for a while end of talking

 

Revving a mechanism decreases its lifespan. Thank you, Cpt. Obvious.

Petrol engines are powerful, but do you always need all that power?

Plus, the most reliable car listed by ADAC is the Mercedes 200D, with around 800kkm to the first immobilizing failure. Detroit Diesels and Cumminses of that vintage have similar durability.

 

they intentionally removed the engine off of the Volvo just to say that a freaking renault is safer than a volvo those bastards!

 

Proof?

 

see it yourself in the comment section or look underneath that volvo

 

Well, the front and rear seem to be level, like in an engined car.
