you're comparing an all out sports bike to a sports tourer. I'd rather have the motus: edit - also it sounds cooler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jzl_TVlWT4

Maybe you're into the sport touring bike thing, I'm not and have ridden a 3000mi round trip on a sportbike without an issue.

Can't really compare a bike that isn't even sold to a stock bike, can you? The RSV4 dynos like 150 something at the wheel stock out of 999ccs.

Yeah, but plenty of people have done it to the 1st and 2nd gen cars also. Probably cheaper to buy the car and do the swap than just buying the 3rd gen to start with. I believe there are a couple in AI even.

I believe there are a couple in AI even. The 2GR is a bit different than the standard 1MZ, 3VZ, 5VZ swaps. The dual VVT-I setup means a lot of wiring tom foolery with immobilizes, etc if you plan on running with stock electronics. I mean, it can be done, but it's not quite as cut and dry as the more basic 90s engines that came before it.

Nah, Audi has been the most popular employer with engineers in Germany for years, then it's BMW, Porsche, VW and Mercedes (Siemens pops up in there somewhere, but they don't make cars). e: Also, calling VW the red headed step child seems really weird, at least if you are talking about their image in Germany itself. Golfs and Passats are virtually class-less cars over here. They say nothing about your income or social position, they are simply accepted as Good And Very Reasonable Cars, a sort of automotive non-statement. If you want to poo poo on a German car maker, look no further than Opel. Babies Getting Rabies fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Aug 22, 2013 |

I'm not really sure where they went wrong, or how they managed to make the descendants of the tf727 so goddamn horrible, but I don't like it. The replacements for the 318/360 (the 3.7/4.7 v6/v8) are pretty bad reliability wise too, but nowhere near as bad as a few others I can think of.

For the LH cars - I used to have an LHS. That was a pretty good car actually, and never had any issues with it. Comfy big seats, decent handling for a large FWD luxury car, and it actually had some decent get up and go. And yes, the transmission didn't explode.

Someone who is smarter than me knows better. The merger made no sense for shareholders, but it allowed management to pay themselves obscene bonuses. Mark this one up as a win for the .01%ers. When being rich just isn't good enough, you have to go for super rich. Minivans were a fing money machine. Take a 10K car and put a $1000 more metal box on top of it and get $18k out of it. Oh yeah.

I've seen quite a few cars like that, and even some in SA with no tint on the drivers or passenger's window. We have that in Sweden, you can't have tinted front side windows or windshield (more than one of those strips at the top), all other windows are okay though.
