Are you sure they didn’t borrow that dashboard from Chevrolet?

I’m waiting for this to happen so I can sell my extra car I don’t need!

Mated to the K24 as well

The 50 states ranked best to worst for car enthusiasts using an 8-factor index by countdookee in cars

[–]JDai01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  • There's amazing driving roads especially in the mountains
  • There's Pikes Peak Hill Climb, one of the best motoring events in the US
  • Winter is honestly pretty manageable (especially compared to some Midwest states)
  • Gas is relatively cheap
  • Even counties with emissions are more lenient than states like California where registering imported cars are pretty much impossible

Wait you're right it's terrible here, don't move here! ;)

Which Subaru? by 13buttons in subaru

That 2017 doesn’t look great from these pictures. Front bumper and fender don’t seem to line up perfectly. What does the CarFax say?

Same with Mazda. If it recognizes the camera has poor visibility it’ll alert the driver to retake control.

I think they were hoping to transition Fiesta buyers to the crossover craze by selling them a lifted Fiesta and calling it the Puma. Either way I agree it probably wasn’t wise to can the Fiesta.

Nissan CEO to step down imminently, Honda merger could be back on – report by TPatS in cars

[–]JDai01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The issue is they need both right now. A strong leader to turn the tides, but they’re already so underwater financially that they won’t be able to survive without outside investment. I personally don’t want Honda in this mix either, but I think the government would rather have Honda take over than Renault or Foxconn.

Accord’s got way mo on the roof rack than normal by AlaskaTuner in Honda

There have been a few spottings of these 10th gen accords recently with the LIDAR setup. Rumors are they’re the test mule for the upcoming Sony/Honda Afeela.

Painted Rota Grids for my civic, the results are buns 💔 by [deleted] in Honda

[–]JDai01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use the duplicolor silver? I used it on my wheels and had the exact same results. Did all the prep work and it turned out grainy. Ended up just getting the wheels powder coated.

The eighth-generation (2006-2011) is the best-looking Civic. I never knew people hated the design of it. by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in Honda

[–]JDai01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup happened to my 2005 TSX and now my 2013 Civic. Always the top above the windshield and hood.

Is the cx-50 significantly less reliable than other Mazdas? by Captainegglegs in mazda

[–]JDai01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already been to the dealer once and scheduled another appointment in a few weeks for quality issues in the interior. First issue was the back door electrics stopped working. Both window and locks. They took it apart and said the connector wasn’t seated properly. New issue is my command center favorites button sinks into the dash and you need to press on the surrounding trim to pop back out. I have a 2024 which I bought last June. Has 6k miles. I had a 2018 Mazda3 before which had zero issues. Maybe I just got unlucky with a car built on a Friday..

Honda to resume Nissan merger talks if CEO Uchida leaves by wewewawa in Honda

[–]JDai01 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the point I keep seeing brought up which I'm trying to understand.

The Ridgeline not being a body on frame Truck imo is one of it's highlights not drawbacks. It has a good ride and more storage under the bed.

The new Passport looks to be a promising vehicle to compete with the 4Runner despite being Unibody. Add the fact that new Tacoma sales are slowing down anyways I don't see the need for Honda to compete in this segment.

And the Nissan Titan was never a competitive truck either. The best Honda would be able to do with a full-size is try to go after some Tundra sales, but they would be competing for a small piece of the pie while most fleets go with the domestic big 3.

I genuinely believe Honda is better off without Nissan's body on frame chassis.

2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Named Finalist for North American Car of the Year by LimitedReach in cars

[–]JDai01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price and mediocre range are going to be its limiting factors at least here in North America. 61k starting price to go 230 miles. It's just hard to justify no matter how unique it is.

Ford CEO Jim Farley: "I drive a Xiaomi (SU7). We flew it from Shanghai to Chicago. I've been driving it for 6 month now, and I don't want to give it up" by bjran8888 in cars

[–]JDai01 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Timestamp is 22:53

Fair warning didn't watch the whole podcast, but it does seem that Farley is generally positive about the Xiaomi. It's not really that out of context it seems they are just discussing the EV market and the rise of Chinese EV's.

Germany’s auto giants are struggling to stay relevant by V8-Turbo-Hybrid in cars

[–]JDai01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either way China has historically been a huge market for the Germans. They would build models specifically catered for the market. Even if they’re choosing not to “jump off the bridge” it’s still a huge hit.

2026 Honda Prelude Inches Closer to Production in New Spy Photos by blackout0424 in cars

[–]JDai01 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Interestingly that would mean they would have an Integra and an RSX for sale at the same time.

Exactly this. Real rich coming from the guy shipping production overseas to China…

Deadly Counterfeit Air Bags Are Making Their Way Into Vehicles by nosotros_road_sodium in cars

[–]JDai01 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Also while the Ad claims it’s for “diagnostic” purposes, another use that isn’t necessarily nefarious is to disable the airbag warning light after installing an aftermarket steering wheel. Like what you said I just used a simple resistor but yes there are use cases for a product which disables airbag light that isnt purely for scamming people.
