General Car Discussion

here in UK, 2.0 is generally the biggest you encounter

 

In the UK Sedans are considered premium, even a beater Kia Sedan is looked good upon.

Well think of it this way, get a van and chop the rear roof off, high fuel economy pickup truck. It isn't a true pickup truck but still works. Honda kinda did the same thing, same layout as a van but with AWD for marketing. Because it is FWD 90% time then it uses less fuel, as it has less friction. Also lighter (i think?) than a Part time 4wd setup. As it is transverse there is no transmission tunnel too so interior space can be maximised.
Basically they did it FWD/AWD for packaging and fuel economy.
Why has it got a V6 though, wouldn't a 4 cylinder suffice, maybe a diesel? (or is this 'MURICA attitude?)

 

eh, not really

 

I sayd the Same to him so he might Just wait a bit longer until He has the Money my parents would have given him.

@Slammington 's signature sums up this pickup truck madness

Seriously a pickup truck can be FWD only and in most cases you probably wouldn't notice unless you was pushing it a little too hard.

 

Fuel here is VERY CHEAP
(Because it's national fuel hehe)

 

Around 1.40 euro/liter for petrol and 1.20 for diesel.

That's $6.3/gallon for petrol and $5.4/gallon for diesel, for you americans.

 

Well, there is in IMCDB in the Mad Max page, one of the cars is a Chevy C-10 and someone from Australia said that the C20 and K10 were the only ones sold in Australia.

 

In upstate New York, it's $2.69 (2.27 Euros) for petrol (or how us Americans and Canadians say "gas") and $3.07 (2.59 Euros) for diesel.

 

Gas here is about $2.09 but I just filled my gas tank for $1.81/gallon with a shoppers discount. Or about 0.40 Euro/Liter.
Diesel about 2.70/gal I think.

 

Holy hell. So not only do most working class people make more than our doctors, you also get gas at a third of what we pay?

I want to live in this magical place.

 

Would you guys drive this?

 

proudly, I would throw a cage in it and race it too
I just watched a video with a 2jz swapped AE86 corolla did a quarter mile in 6 seconds at 240 mph

 

I spotted a Nissan Figaro today!

It’s super cute kawaii! (*^ω^*)

I’d love to own one, despite a 3-speed slushbox being the only option. I’d prefer a 5MT Be-1 though. ( ＾∀＾)

 

Where do you get a Figaro in the US?

 

An importer, most likely. It’s definitely old enough to be legally imported in the US.

 

Yes.

 

I've been paying $2.67 a gallon for Premium in the G35 the last few weeks. It hasn't moved much since I brought it home the day before thanksgiving. First tank was $2.71 a gallon.

 

Yep, add a rollcage and NASCAR parts.

 

Prepare, we pay 0,000008$/l of gas

I would slap a cage in it and proudly burn the tires
