I'd say so, as well. 400 horsepower from a 7.4-liter V8 going to the front wheels through a 3-speed automatic is no joke, especially for the 1960s. Admittedly, it's not as fast as a current-gen FK2/FK8 Civic Type R, topping out at around 140 miles per hour and hitting 60 miles per hour in around 7 seconds, but it still takes the cake for the most powerful production application of FWD in history. EDIT: While looking around on the internet for specs to the 2012 Honda Odyssey, I've just realized how crazy hard it is to find ANY information on 0-60 times, 1/4-mile times, and top speeds.
The Festiva SHOgun. Lovely little car. I remember seeing it in a magazine - I was like... 8? - and thinking... "They got it wrong... It's FIESTA, not FESTIVA... and why does it look like a Mazda?"
So Fiat is thinking about buying Hyundai. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...n-talks-with-korea-s-hyundai-over-partnership My thoughts, I guess Fiat is going to have a monopoly on shitty luxury cars
Did... Did you even read the article? Nobody is buying anybody. They're only potentially partnering to develop a hydrogen power train, and that's it. No buyouts, no contract building of cars, nothing. It's like when Ford, GM, and ZF all partnered to create the 10-speed auto found in some of their vehicles.
Yeah, that's not even really that significant. Look at the Renault and Nissan's relationship. They've produced whole cars together yet neither company really owns the other. The whole auto industry is such a huge, tangled mess of partnerships that all the manufacturers would own each other if your definition of ownership was that loose.
Well when the title of the article say "Fiat Chrysler in Talks With Hyundai on Partnership" my mind sums it up as "Oh Fiat is going to own Hyundai soon"
Nah, officially sold here by Mercedes & Opel. Both cars only lasted a year or two before they were pulled from Australia due to lack of sales.
It's GM, what did you expect? What's the point in importing an RHD Opel (which was likely a rebadged Vauxhall, which in turn is a rebadged Opel, yay recursive rebadging at GM) when you can have the virtually identical Holden version?
Do you think European and Japanese light weight cars and sports bikes are turning into a old man thing? The only reason I asking this question is because the last time I saw a sports bike it was drove by some dude in his 40's.
At my college you see quite a few sport bikes. We also have a (relatively) large amount of kids driving things like Maserattis and top of the line Mercedes and Audis.
