    Oh well that isn't near as bad then. I do LOVE the VW HID's. Something about the color, shape, LEDs, just a good looking head light. My friend was actually pondering upgrading to a '16 but the one that he came across was only like 25k but had the standard lights, cloth interior and he just couldn't step out of his loaded Autobahn. He also digs the HIDs on VWs and really didn't want to just get a newer car but most everything else was a slight downgrade as car as interior bits and such. Yeah, those are good lookin' for sure. Especially if they are half the price! Are they 700 a piece or 700 for the pair? I thought HIDs on the GTI were like 1500 EACH, or somewhere in that ball park.

    Aren't those lights like 1500 a piece though? That's about as unrealistic as adding the e-diff...imo... That's awesome you work at a VW dealer! I actually have two friends who are obsessed with VW(the one with the '12 GTI and another who drives a '12 or '13 Jetta TDI 6spd). The one with the Jetta will never own anything that isn't VAG, he's just like that. When he's in the market for a new car I'll definitely pass him your way. You'll just have to let me know what dealership you're at. He lives in IL but works at Boeing so he's in STL daily.

    Yes, it will be based on the Wrangler so it will be printing money for FCA. I wonder how bad of fuel mileage the Jeep truck will get compared to the other trucks who have at least visited wind tunnels. It'll be rated 18/19 city/highway, lol. Actually the current Wranglers are already rated over 20 MPG on the hwy with the old 5 speed auto. This will be based on the new Wrangler which will be lighter, more aerodynamic, and have the 8 speed auto. m I say it will not have a problem matching Colorado FE engine for engine. No chance it would match the Colorado if they are working on similar drivelines. I mean even if the Wrangler truck had the newest 8 or 9spd from the FCA camp you're still talking about pushing a brick through air. I highly doubt they will be ballsy enough to change the look of the new Wrangler enough to be considered "aero efficient" by anybody's standards. I can't imagine it changing much from the current Wrangler's 16/21. I would definitely expect improvements but not a whole lot. 17/24 in its most efficient trim. Now if it has a 2WD version that would get another little bump over the Wranglers but I just don't see a way that this will match a Colorado's 18/26 in the v6 at all.

    Give me the 94hp/99tq version please. lol

    The only thing that seems to hold hatchbacks back is price, if you ask me. They always have a decent premium over the sedan. The Focus Sedan starts at 17,225 and the hatch starts at 19,015. That's significant in the economy class of cars.

    Congrats! One of my best friends drives a '12 Autobahn GTI(4dr, DSG, and black like yours) and he loves everything about it. The only thing he wishes it had more of was power. But that's getting a little greedy as there's a ridiculous aftermarket for them and the base to build upon is fantastic! Is the Performance Package like a 10hp bump on top of the '15 bump as well?

    Not too many people can say their 460hp corvette is their slow car I LOVE that your getting the tiny right away. Tint cleans up the looks on even the best looking cars. How dark are you going?

    Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Congratulations, Casa!

    Yeah a GTI was my next guess from the "very, very close" hint.

    FR-S?
  12. ccap41
    BR-Z isn't a bad choice. Hmmm... STI?
  13. ccap41
    Nice! What kind of gains are to be expected with the tune?
  14. ccap41
    I was actually thinking Miata but I just didn't actually think Frisky bought one. He seems more into things with a little more ass under the hood... like a C63!
  15. ccap41
    Well, in all fairness, that is a massive drop in sales. I understand why as Drew has explained it before but it is still a massive drop off.

    Ram? 200? 300? Cherokee? Pro Master? ( FCA is headquartered in London UK ) Oh c'mon. He isn't being that picky about the exact location of headquarters or where the assembly line is located.

    I'll give it to Trump though, He is the first politician that I actually believe he means what he says. I feel like he is actually saying what he feels and thinks. Whether that is right or wrong is a completely different story and something not for discussion here but other than him I've felt that 100% of career politicians are liars and thieves one way or another. I just wish they would do it because they wanted to better the country as opposed to the power and money.

    Hmmmm I hope I don't upset some but let's go with foreign or domestic.

    Yeah my buddy more or less wanted the turbo noises that Come with aftermarket intakes. It really is a blast of a wagon. Him and I also don't like regular HHRs at all but the SS is a completely different animal. The different front facia also transforms the look quite a bit as well. I definitely didn't realize it was a 2/3 ratio of auto to manual. I guess I just assumed because I hadn't seen many for sale and they happened to be 5spds.
  20. ccap41
    Didn't directly replace...I'll take that as-in it is a toy/sunday funday car. I know you love your 335i's. I think you found a killer deal on a used 335i(Ps. until you do get another one, this will probably be my first guess everytime..lol)
  21. ccap41
    The motor does not. Fiat is using their turbo charged 1.4L as opposed to Mazdas 2.0L, making it a valid concern as to it's reliability. This guy has a very good point. The heart and soul is coming from the Fiat side..
  22. ccap41
    Completely agree, Drew. They just look sooooo old at this point. Especially when you have the Renegade, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee all on the same lot.
  23. ccap41
    I love the looks of it but I don't like the "Fiat" name behind it. Everything about this is awesome. I love the looks of it, I love the white, red, and black. I love the spoiler and wheels. I love it's not more power. I just with it wasn't a convertible only.. but I understand the low sales probably don't allow them to justify the cost of making a coupe along side of it(same with the Miata).
  24. ccap41
    lol look at bong trying his damnedest to backhand Ford. Bong: (pretend it's a rental, v6 ,convertible mustang)
  25. ccap41
    ^ Yeah my buddy with his 5spd HHR SS said he easily gets around 30 on the interstate and he doesn't exactly have a light foot. He just has an intake on his, no clue the brand or anything though. I didn't realize yours was an auto either. I guess I just assumed it was a stick. Those are even more rare, right?
