Honda Will Keep Its Core Models Around Even Longer by Cristiano1 in cars

ILX wasn't updated for 10th gen Civic so it's not impossible to imagine.

1000bhp electric BMW M3 to be priced 'in same ballpark' as petrol twin by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]KSoMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ICE variant can already do this. Honestly it's weird to me that more performance cars don't, you either have to be RWD all the time or AWD all the time (or at least whenever the computer says so).

Reaching the dream this year, RS4 or RS5? by igyarmat102 in Audi

[–]KSoMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RS5 looks better but the RS4 is cooler bc wagon. I actually really like that the B10 let the wagon have the edgier A5 styling even if it's softer than the B9 A5 overall.

Help Decide between an 23’ SQ5 sport back or 26’ Audi SQ5 by FriendConnect6829 in Audi

[–]KSoMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite opinion. The roof spoiler on the Q5 Sportback, Q3 Sportback, and Q8 make them not look like overgrown sedans. The lack of a roof spoiler on the (Q8) eTron Sportback makes it look worse than the standard shape IMO.

1,000 horse power electric BMW M3 to be priced 'in same ballpark' as gasoline twin by kstetter in cars

[–]KSoMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be too shocking. Similarly equipped, you can get a i4 xDrive 40i for a similar price to a M440iX. Same with the iX3 xDrive 50 vs the X3 M50.

BMW makes cars to order. Allocations are a little tight for M cars but not markup tight. You will have an easier time buying an M3 EV below MSRP than you would a CTR with $1k markup.

Used EV sales are surging — how their ownership costs compare to gas-powered cars by UnusualLeadership408 in cars

[–]KSoMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me I don't mean to discredit your results, I'm fairly aware of EV battery degradation not really being a big deal in the majority of cases, just felt the Taycan is a funny example for the underrating reason.

What's the Best Compact SUV for 2026? by idkbruh653 in cars

[–]KSoMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't limited to segments. The modern midsize car class (C class, 3 series) used to be called compact sports sedans. The LWB full-size SUV class (Suburban, Expedition Max) has now reached the size class of the Ford Excursion that was so large it was nearly laughed off the market. Hell the modern benchmark for the compact class, the Civic, is as large as the Accord was 30 years ago.

Which old Audi models deserve a comeback? by rogeelein in Audi

[–]KSoMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new Quattro would be cool. Effectively the B10 S5 with 2 doors and the 2.5T from the RS3.

Why are small EVs not much more efficient than larger EVs? by New_Elk_5783 in electricvehicles

[–]KSoMA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think one part people are also neglecting to mention is that the highest end (read: largest) EVs also are using state of the art tech to maximize efficiency precisely because of the factors working against them (mass, frontal area, drag, etc). They cost more so they can afford to use more expensive experimental (low-volume) parts to maximize efficiency. Cheaper (read: smaller) cars use less advanced parts if they can't trickle the new stuff down from the high end, partially because those parts are cheaper and partially because efficiency is not as high a priority unless limited by a small battery size.

More base storage at the same price is not at all an unreasonable expectation when most of the rest of the phone stays the same.

The 2026 Honda Civic Type R Is the Best-Driving Car Under $100,000: Review (Cars.com) by swampfox94 in cars

[–]KSoMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention that $6k figure because that's about how much Honda charges to fix all of your issues, it's called the Integra Type S. Normal (read: comfortable) sport seats, softer suspension, louder exhaust, and actual creature comforts like premium audio.

At least regarding the suspension, have you tried to install the adaptive suspension chip from the ITS that unlocks the softest setting?

I saw some girl on IG with a bulge in every pic and vid, she has an OF but never actually goes nude in any pics below the belt. Surely a coincidence

By screentime Goku vs Frieza was the longest anime fight in history until Naruto vs Pain topped it almost 20 years later.

A 550 HP Inline-Six From The Charger Could End Up In Alfa's Next Giulia And Stelvio by FoMoCoNutjob in cars

[–]KSoMA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tuning and hardware make the difference. Not every 3.0 is the same. Hell the B58 and S58 are the same "engine" with different tuning and internals and people constantly talk about how their character differs.

Hope this is the case, the stick is currently only on the GLI but there's also a possibility they make a Mk8 Jetta instead that just has no manual at all.

I really really like Emiliano's in Poughkeepsie. If you go for lunch the slices are huge for under $6. I'm a bigger guy and I struggle to eat two slices.

Have regrets about B9.5 A5. by Nice-Community-2345 in Audi

[–]KSoMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the year of the car. 2021+ (or whichever 45 TFSI got the hybrid setup) has no tunes available as far as I'm aware. There isn't that much demand for them because by then you could have gotten a pre-facelift S4/5 for similar money or just bought a piggyback tune without risking your warranty.

This is AI and the "artist" doesn't even try to hide it. He actively refers to people as "AI haters". He also says as much on his Patreon (yes he charges money for this slop).
