5th gear: Australia, my condolences on the loss of yet another inline six.
Ahhh, I see you've played sticky-rocky before.
You know what? Y'all need to pull the stick out of your collective asses. This is a cool commercial (other that what it's selling), it's easy to watch, and it's a fun throwback to a lot of our youths.
You're acting like a bunch of whiny hipster fanbois over a HONDA COMMERCIAL.
Jesus, for being so uptight about Ferris, it's like you missed the entire point of the movie.
You're missing 10 years on the Mustang; it used a version of the Fox chassis through '04.
THOUGH, platform sharing is not badge engineering. There are badge engineered groupings in there Mustang/Capri and Thunderbird/Cougar/Mark are the ones I know off the top of my head.
That one where Bill Ford trying to claim he had gasoline in his veins.
Agreed! I was quite honestly surprised Honda would be willing to have an ad that showed such a thing.
Some of these I'm making up on the fly :P
Last again, not competitive in anything.
Likely a millionaire blowhard or really good hooker is nestled inside.
Cracked head, exhaust valves rattle, oil leaks, engine ticks.
Driver returns on foot.
Drive on dirt? Grenade engine.
Maybe once passed a Renault.
Some hick emblazons logo, buy yakloads.
Don't mention cocaine.
Take one's youth outside to atrophy.
I not fooled in nissan's idiot trap idea.
For Enzo's racecar, rich assholes rant incessantly.
I actually like that. Is it really so much energy involved to adjust the volume that to have the car do it automagically shifts one from "motivated and awesome" to "lazy and worthless"?
1st-gear: Buy a flask, keep it near, never again pay too much, for watered-down liquid cheer.
2nd-gear: As long as I don't have to hear about Chevy running deep anymore, this is a good thing.
3rd-gear: While I keep a fiery hate fueled for Prii and their owners, one thing I can certainly say in the cars' favor is their ergonomic mouse shape was designed from the get-go to be very aerodynamic. The cars likely can do very well, provided the right team handles them.
I still hope they get their asses handed to them by the BRZ team.
4th-gear: Aesthetically I actually liked the Avenger; the looks of the Charger in an easier-to-swallow smaller capsule. Now, if it had only been a proper baby Charger, with RWD, SRT versions running a sub-5.0L HEMIs, RTs running the pentastar, and rentals running the Darts 2.4L 4-pot.
5th & 6th - Overdrive gears... meh, who needs 'em?
I can see some cross-shopping of the two; they're both small, $20-25k, and sporty-ish. For someone who doesn't care about FWD vs RWD , it could just come down to ergonomics.
When China does this, they're decried for making a knockoff.
I'm sure this is a fantastic car, but could they have lifted some less iconic styling features? It's pretty, but that's because from every angle but the front and interior it looks Ferrari. It's like if someone made one of the cars from Grand Theft Auto - close enough you know what it is, far enough off to not get sued.
I see no steering components, so I must assume that's the rear wheels.
Why in the hell are the big heavy electric motors *behind* the rear wheels? Isn't it much more sensical to put that weight in-between the axles, and thus keep the car better balanced and with lower polar inertia?
Or are they trying to channel some Pour-shuh into the S?
Why is a Prius with ++SocialMedia getting so many words?
Of all the concepts to garner hate, this doesn't float to the top?
As much as it pains me, it's the same here. The lot is full of those things. It makes me all the happier to roll up in my beat-up 5.0... it's my own little personal "fuck you" to the Priites.
I thought the title of that song was "Triangle Man".
A fool and his money...
If someone bought a G-series over a Maxima, they could just prefer RWD.
I concur... seems like there's a lot of hate this morning for things that could be very cool, whether that's the NSX concept or those two Chevys.
I mean, I like minivans - they're the best tool for the job when the job is hauling small people around, but I don't see anything that makes this particular one special other than looking different.
My comment was intended to be more general, but yes, I also hope that Honda has put a properly high-strung engine in this car, as it would serve as an example to others that "hybrid" doesn't have to be about efficiency in terms of MPGs but instead can be about efficiency in terms of getting power to the pavement.
Hell, Ford had that hybrid system for trucks back with the concept that became the SuperDuty, only it's intent had nothing to do with fuel efficiency and everything with making it easier to get rolling while towing a heavy load. Wonder where that ended up?
