It is a Mid Sized Car that they make, but it isn't good to say such things in polite society. The full name is a Toyota C

tueday.
It would be like an Altima, but built by Toyota with a 2.5L 4 cyl with both port and direct injection.

Damn did I just say the forbidden word?

Discussing the 400HP concept car from a few years ago:
And what of the Golf R400 concept, which has still yet to make production? “We did research and customers don’t want it. They want around 300 horsepower and a price tag below €50,000. To move up to 400 horsepower you lose 50 per cent of the sales volume and increase the cost of ownership.”
--Jost Capito head of the R division
I'm sure it will have more power, but 400 isn't looking good.
Tesla may just kill off the I-Pace too. The Model Y reveal will be this Thursday March 14th 8PM Cali time. Production won't likely start until the end of the year though.
Play with your screen brightness to see the license plate.
Re: Guilia. A friend got one and enjoyed it for 3 days before electrical problems started showing up. He hasn't driven it in 2 months. Ugh. He's in the process of a buyback.

Yeah, that sucks. I read that today too. However, I also read that the next M3 Competition is supposed to have 503 hp and weigh about 3,500 lbs with AWD!?! But it sounds like it will be a DCT. They also said a RWD CS model is supposed to debut with a manual transmission though so this could be very good. The Golf R and M3 are supposed to debut at Frankfort in Sept.
I got some good news on the Model 3 Front. With the New Model Y being a Model 3 SUV, the prices for Used Model 3s should plummet if it is anything like any other sedan out there. There are some cars out there that are available in Canada or Mexico I would love to get my hands on. Might have to move to Ciudad Juarez, I hear its reel nice.
Alright, well the wife and I will finally BOTH be working for the first time in almost 6 years (she stayed home when we had kids). I was originally considering the dreaded Civic Si, but now I'm seriously considering the Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition. It's mostly just an appearance package, with a few features thrown in. That being said, I think it looks great, has the towing capacity I desire, plenty of room for my family, and it gets really good MPG for the class.

The only dread I have about the Pathfinder or the Infiniti QX60 (basically the same car) is the CVT transmission. There, I said it!
They do go bad often, but I'd either lease this or get an extended warranty. Also the CVT is at the very least, by far the cheapest trans that Infiniti has in terms of costs to replace.

I think you picked the right vehicle for towing, mpg, and passenger room since it is #1 in class in those 3 categories. I think it looks really good in that green color. I think it is funny how Nissan keeps trying to make the Pathfinder more rugged (2018 refresh 1st) after turning it into a crossover. I wonder if they will ever bring back the Xterra. Suvs are hot right now so maybe. Who am I kidding? I want Nissan to bring out a killer Z car. They are really dragging their feet on this one.
"According to Autocar, Volkswagen is developing a range-topping Golf R Plus model that would be positioned above the next-generation Golf R and rival the Mercedes-AMG A45 and Audi RS3 hot hatchbacks. It will reportedly utilize hardware and technology from the seventh-generation Golf R400 concept shown in 2014 and the Golf TCR race car developed by Volkswagen Motorsport."
Now if they give it better weight distribution than the RS3 and better brakes than the current Golf R, this could be a serious contender. The only thing I don't like is the suggested price.

That seems to be a rehash of the old R400, and is directly opposite of what the head of the R division said:

I like my R and all, but $54K for a Golf is a LOT of coin......
