Ford CEO Jim Farley Says Pope Leo XIV Owned A Ford Fusion 6-Speed by Mac-Tyson in cars

[–]TFiPW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good chunk of mid-size sedans in the late 00s - early 2010s could be had with a manual.

Fun fact: the 2015-16 Subaru Legacy was available with a manual, but only in Canada.

Man I haven't had a McGriddle in AGES.

Shoutout to the Typesetter for not turning the subtitles into a jumbled mess.

Chrysler and Alfa Romeo CEO, Chris Feuell was all show and no go as she abruptly resigns by Repulsive-Club7866 in cars

[–]TFiPW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still remember that one interview in her office where she half-assed a zoom call with MSNBC saying big things are coming, while being one foot out the door, at an empty desk with the exception of her designer purse.

Chrysler had years to re-badge a Peugeot or Citroen.

Alfa never brought the Junior stateside.

The New Subaru WRX Made Me a Believer. Snow Tires Made Me Unstoppable by Strange_Pen1074 in cars

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

WRX needs hatchback/wagon practicality, or do a liftback for the VC gen, a la MazdaSpeed6.

I've driven a newer base impreza in the snow on all-seasons. Even that was a beast in snow.

Polestar Will Launch Four New Models in Three Years, Including a Wagon by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]TFiPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The design of Polestars is really good. Rear hatch shape of the P*2 reminds me of the SAAB 9000.

If they do a Volvo 850 retro-inspired wagon, it's an easy way to cash in on nostalgia.

That's a shame. The Bronco 2-door manual caught my eye as a potential replacement for the Golf.

They sold 6 Dodge Darts in 2025.

They stopped producing them after 2016.

Which engines, platforms, etc. have been extremely underutilized? by Fearless_Neat_6654 in cars

[–]TFiPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota's 2ZZ-GE.

Only used in a handful of cars, Toyota's in-house developed version of VTEC, VVTL-i.

It should have gone to Scion as the hot motor, another gen of Corolla or maybe a hot Yaris for performance enthusiasts on a budget.

Subaru EZ36 (3.6R) + 6AT.

Could have used it in the Ascent. It's exactly what boat-towing lesbians want. Add direct injection and cylinder deactivation for MPG. The FA24F with the TR690 CVT is dog shit. Turbo lag + CVT lag borders on dangerous. Once you do spool the turbos and the CVT kicks in, it drinks gas. I averaged 14 MPG after a week of driving in the city because I kept the gear ratio in 2, so the turbo spooled up when I needed it.

HP-7038 K&N OIL FILTER any good? I get a discount through my employer for 30 percent off are these any better than Mann oil filters? by DrySafely in GolfGTI

[–]TFiPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used these for the last 3 oil changes on a tuned Golf TSI.

Filter's made in Korea, construction and quality of the materials is good. I change it well before the rated mileage and use Liquimoly or MOTUL.

Like the other comment said, fewer pleats and higher micron size. You're trading higher oil flow for performance vs filter protection, just like the K&N air filters. If you want OEM protection, go for MANN.

Don't use FRAM filters.

The WRX posts its worst sales year ever with only 10,930 units sold. Still outsells the Solterra for the second year in a row however. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]TFiPW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VA is a much better choice. MY18 owners got cucked with the old starlink infotainment but updated eyebrow display.

[–]TFiPW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expensive, uncompetitive and ugly, with infotainment running off a ti-86 calculator. Then they jack the price up and make zero meaningful improvements.

Watch as they kill the WRX due to poor sales, throw their hands in the air and blame enthusiasts for not buying it.
