Btw I had a new Tuscon hybrid on Monday and it’s maybe the best car I’ve driven this year. The inside is super nice and simple. You can actually teach the touch screen. The acceleration is super and it is silent at highway speeds . I may actually get one . I wonder how much a new one costs ? The only downside is it felt heavy and a little dicey going through sharper turns

I love carsized because they actually have a Lincoln Continental Mark V to compare against. That Silverado was only 3.5cm longer. Here’s my two cars for funzies https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/ford-fiesta-2008-5-door-hatchback-vs-lincoln-continental-1977-coupe/

Olympic Mathlete posted:Carsized.com doesn't have the most up to date cars in some cases but a Countryman is bigger than a 1 Series. The Countryman also being 50cm longer, 14cm taller and 13cm wider than the original new Mini. Sorry, I should have clarified with an “in the US” for size. But the point still stands, it’s not a huge vehicle and it’s ok for MINI as a brand to be more than just the 2dr hardtop. The countryman is far and away the best selling model for MINI in the US and I’m not sure the brand would survive without it. It’s MINI’s Cayenne.

euphronius posted:That’s what they did to the avenger ? Sad It was the quickest way to get a BEV in the lineup after merging with PSA, they only had BEV platforms in that size. The STLA medium platform is being launched now with the e3008 and it's the underpinnings for the soon to be launched recon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUN4c2Jum98 It's really concerning that allegedly the engineers and whoever else say that increasing the power by +20HP / +34lb-ft is too much for the 6MT to have handled, which is why the Nismo is auto only.

Doesn't make any sense given it's still the same FS6R31A gearbox that's been around forever, versions of which are the fabled "CD009" version which sits behind 1000hp LS's in drift cars all day long.

Monkey Fracas posted:I'm so desperate to see something that isn't another blah-colored midsize CUV Blob that I... like this? Even more points if it's actually like Jimny/Jeep Renegade sized or something quote:While the exterior styling will draw from the Compact Cruiser EV concept, the production-ready variant will be considerably smaller. Both publications claim the Land Cruiser Mini will be close to the Corolla Cross in terms of size but will stand 74 inches tall and 73.2 inches wide. This describes a Jimny sized vehicle, but surely the Hilux 2.8 TD is wildly overkill compared to the Jimny's 660cc turbo (JDM kei-spec) or 1.5l petrol (export) specs.

People in the Alps that need access to cramped roads jumped on old Daihatsu Terios and Suzuki Jimmy since the few remaining roadworthy mk1 4x4 pandas got all purchased by hipsters. My aunt had a 200k+ og 4x4 panda with busted interior and, within hours of publishing the ad, got more than what she did originally pay for the car after a quick bidding war between flannel wearers.
