aparmenideanmonad posted:Yes, take actual roads rather than freeways all the way down through the mountains and it's gorgeous. You can do about 70% of this or something similar: https://roadtripusa.com/appalachian-trail/ I'll be driving my S2000 out to Colorado next spring after I move there in January. Wish there were some scenic options on the way out. Guess I'll just have to save it for the awesome mountain roads once I'm out there. Or I could have it transported out since there aren't any good routes and I don't necessarily want to throw 600 miles on it while driving on I-70.

The 2.0T, on the other hand, will be offered with both a 10-speed automatic or a six-speed manual.

They'll give it an much less aggressive tune, slanted more towards torque. It'll end up about 2 tenths slower than the V6 in any given measurement and will get slightly better MPG according to the EPA, real world it'll be about 1-2 mpg worse. It is our destiny.

Given the unspeakable things those fuckers have done to the best racing driver in the world, Fernando Alonso, it'll probably last for all of 1000 km before lighting itself on fire, exploding and throwing bits of the engine through the firewall to impale passengers. 2500 km for the detuned version. gently caress Honda.

I haven't driven the Accord coupe, but it wouldn't surprise me if it had better outward visibility and a roomier back seat. ...that's about all I can think of. E: The Arteon looks like a nice car; not sure if I'd seriously look at buying one, but it looks nice. AE888 is tunable as always.

I test drove a V6 Accord coupe with the 6 speed a while back. Black on black. Sexy as hell, plenty of oomph to it. Couldn't afford it, but if I could it would have been on My List.

500-HP Acura TLX and Race-Ready NSX Hillclimb Cars Ready to Scale Pikes Peakquote:The new parts, as well as special engine software and in-house tuning, draw a claimed 500 horsepower from the turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6. They should de-tune that and stick it in the street car; maybe call it a TLX-R. (Or give it a real name like "Legend")

noted tall sedan experiment for americans who want to be up higher is now only 2" taller than a regular 5 series. looking at pricing, maybe it's a cheaper 7 series? there's plenty of people who don't give a poo poo about all the gizmos and you get AWD standard.
