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.

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.

FR-S?

BR-Z isn't a bad choice. Hmmm... STI?

Nice! What kind of gains are to be expected with the tune?

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!

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.

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)

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..

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.

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).

lol look at bong trying his damnedest to backhand Ford. Bong: (pretend it's a rental, v6 ,convertible mustang)

^ 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?

The rear end has a little too much going on. And when I say a little, I mean a lot too much going on. But other than that it isn't bad looking.

I usually do in anything that isn't a 3.6 V6 SUV. I do really well in their Turbo-4s. I haven't driven a 2.5 recently enough to remember. The 3.6 in sedans gets me just EPA. The Chryslers with a Pentastar I will beat EPA easily. I have two HV V6 a 3.6 Bu and a 3.0 Terrain. The Terrain hits the GM EPA number or does one better. The BU even driven hard in winter gets 23 city and summer 25. Highway I can get 30-32. The HHR 2.0 Turbo gets 25 and 32 even with the tune and driven hard. The EPA numbers were something like 18 and 24. I never came close to that. My 3800SC cars all hit the numbers spot on. GM has done a lot with their tuning with the cam, gearing and transmissions. How they ever got the 4 in the Nox and Terrain to run as well as it did is proof. It is way under powered for what the mass was but it still drove well. One thing to keep in mind is the Lambda models are about as old as you can get at GM anymore and the mass is really a problem. GM just in the last 5 years has come a long way. The new BU, Camaro and new CT6 show just what they can do. For this kind of weight loss sit takes a lot of detailed engineering and GM has finally had the money to do this. To be honest the 300 pound loss in the Malibu is on the scale of like adding 100 HP to the engine as it is that big of a deal. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the others like Ford to try to match that. They went Aluminum in the trucks and really just got caught up with Chevy. The HHR SS 5spd is rated 21/29. The auto is 19/28... FYI...lol
