Wait there's a 4 cylinder Mustang? What's the loving point, it's like porno with a micropenis. If you want fuel economy go buy a loving prius.

300+ hp. The only thing lacking for 98% of owners is the dickwaving.

Then again, maybe 95% of Mustang ownership is dickwaving.

The car weighs like 3500 lbs, 310 horsepower is still 125 shy of the v8

The turbocharged ecoboost is cool and good in a focus RS, in the mustang it's just a 'why' to me, except to do the regular car reviews thing and go "look, this is a practical four-door hatchback, but with a mustang engine honey, we should compromise on this"

Mercedes made a 500hp minivan for the insane soccer moms out there. It's also one of the rarest production cars in existence.

I think mechanically a lot of them are CVTs with fake gears ie. preset ratios to make it feel like you're not just driving a CVT.

6 is more than enough. Anything beyond that better be in "this car goes 200 mph" territory.

Trump is going full retard in Japan, actually. Someone already linked that he asked why a nation of samurais doesn't just shoot down missiles.

He also said "Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over."

He also dumped an entire box of food into a koi pond, but this is apparently not a big deal because Abe did it first.

But for real, this


is loving hilarious.

Like, actually laughing out loud irl, not just writing "lol" hilarious. It's as if he wakes up and says to himself "Gee, I wonder how I can prove to the world that I neither know anything at loving all, nor listen to any advisers to make up for not knowing a loving thing about jack".

Toyota's infrastructure and supply chain in the US is loving insane, to the point where a higher fraction of every spent dollar on some Toyota models built in the US stays in the US than those spent on actual US brands.

/ninjaedit: Okay, maybe that came off the cuff too fast, but I'm genuinely curious if you haven't heard of the rest of it.
Because if we managed to keep a lid on this one, that'd be pretty funny.

I mean, I was mind-blown when I came back home that I hadn't heard anything of it mid-2017, but I figured it would have blown up in the US by now
