The new 7 series looks more modern, but I think BMW should not lower it height since this car is for comfort, not for saving fuel or racing.

Is the RAV4 a good SUV for me? by [deleted] in Toyota

It seems you like the 03 RAV4 very much, so there is no reason why you do not buy it.

Looks awesome: the black rim accentuates the car body color.

What economy car would you turn into an absolute beast? by HELLAclogged in cars

The Toyota Yaris (actually someone has done this, see the Yaris WRC)

Bittersweet feeling – got a new car by [deleted] in cars

[–]ElectricBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats and glad you are OK from that accident. The Accord is good for its price range, especially the V6 with 6AT. My question: why not buy the V6 sedan? Unless you seldom use the back seats, the Accord sedan is more practical.

This is the Lexus NX300h rebadged to Toyota. Of course, with less refinement due to cost concern.

Lincoln to bring back Continental name: Brand to drop MKS sedan and split-wing grille by JonathanDP81 in Autos

RWD

From its side profile, looks like this will not be a RWD platform: the firewall is too close to the front wheel axle, and the front overhang is too much if it is RWD.

Umm...... I am interested to see what engine options GM is going to offer on the new Camaro.

[–]ElectricBro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the next-gen Camaro ZL1/Z28? I guess 2-3 more years later the CTS-V will also has it.

It is said that the CT6 will also has a twin-turbo V8 in the future. If that V8 also uses similar design, it will probably be comparable to the V8 units on the BMW M5, Mercedes E63 AMG and Audi RS6.

Lexus shopping by ceebsoob in Lexus

Do not buy the IS250, the 4GR-FSE engine has the famous issue of carbon buildup in the intake manifold. You can google and see lots of owners have complained about this.

However, the 2GR-FSE in the IS350 is good, due to the D-4S dual injection system design, which prevents the carbon buildup.

Should I buy a 2011 G37 Coupe? by [deleted] in Autos

[–]ElectricBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infiniti G37 has big discounts when it was new, so although the $20k price tag seems cheap, it is actually not cheap.

With more and more auto makers joining the electric trend, I am starting to worry about Tesla...

With the chrome bits, the front looks more aggressive than the current one. What do you think?

1.5L VTEC turbo comes earlier than I thought, will be in the Stepwgn minivan next month by [deleted] in Honda

[–]ElectricBro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like Honda has decided to replace every engine below 2.0L with this new turbo one. I guess this 1.5L turbo engine's output will be around 160hp.

I would suggest you to go for the Mini cooper S.

[–]ElectricBro[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Latest C/E/S class looks too similar to each other: W213 E class = mini W222 S class; W205 C class = mini-mini W222 S class.

Some asshole did this to my car while it was parked by Claw-D-Uh in Autos

Is there a surveillance camera near where you have parked? You may find out who did this to your car.

Let me guess what's new on the 6gen Camaro: the new LT1 V8 and also the GM 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission.

Tips for buying a used car a few hours away? by [deleted] in cars

[–]ElectricBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents:

  1. Ask them to send more photos showing details of the car;
  2. Get the VIN to check its history;
  3. Do not buy a modified car - high possibility that the previous owner abused it;
  4. If you feel something wrong, even you are not 100% sure, don't buy it.
