    431rwhp? That has to be a ringer. I typically don't like the theory of manufacturers sending ringers anywhere and if Hennessey bought this to study/tune it a different story but if these were given to them from a test fleet it sounds like a good ole fashion ringer. That power loss is only 24hp. No way something only loses 5%. I know modern drivetrains have advanced A LOT but they still lose more than 5%. The Corvette lost 13% and the Camaro only 5%..?

    This. I say the same damn thing about Buffalo sauce. If it doesn't taste good, than all you're doing is torturing yourself. I'll third that! That's one reason I don't like the all famous siracha hot sauce. To me, it doesn't have any flavor, just heat. I think that's why I usually lean more towards a buffalo sauce.

    This weather has been crazy this past week. Yesterday and today it hit 70degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to too. Middle of December and it's still 60-70 degrees out. I'll take that.

    Different styles of convertible tops. The Bosxters come with normal soft-tops. The Bosxter Spyders come with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Ddq-8HzeI Looks like a fancy style soft top still...

    Lol I guess.. Mostly, I just don't understand why put a number in front of an existing name.

    Hahahaha I love it! So..slightly off topic, how was it? Let's answer the tougher question. What DIDNT you like about it?

    ^ Yeah, we are the few that would buy a vehicle as large as an S-Class or 7 Series and care about the driving dynamics. I can't see many luxury buyers looking at steering feel and chassis stiffness on a test drive(of a car in the S, 7, A8 size). All the goodies on the inside...yup.

    That is one good lookin' car!

    lol he seem like the kind of guy that is so over-the-top ridiculous that it's fun to keep it going. Keep yankin' his chain.

    Yeah I also don't understand why numbers and words for their names. 718 and 718 spyder would be fine. But not 718 Cayman and 718 Boxter. I feel like they just added complexity to their naming. Looking at Porsche's website, what is the difference between a Boxter and a Boxter Spyder? I thought "spyder" usually just mean it's a convertible?

    Science dfelt, science. Nobody knows how the combined ratings are calculated. They just are.

    When I first read $6100 I didn't think it was all that bad but I guess I did't realize how affordable the Camry and Fusion hybrids are now. Now $6100 looks more expensive.

    Yeah, the earlier Ions had some issues, but the later ones seem to hold up pretty well....... Yeah they two in our "posession" are '06 and '07. One manual, one auto. I think my sister has no intentions of getting rid of hers any time soon either. It's kind of just their around town, beat around car at this point but they don't have issues with it.

    Really? The average age of vehicles on American roads in the last several years has hovered around the eleven year mark. So you are saying that these things will never achieve average age? Because who is going to pay to keep these things going after 8 years, with this kind of failure rate? What a colossal waste of money. lol that's not what I said at all. If the average age is 11 years then it will be fixed and good to go within that 11 year period, not on the customer's dime.

    Pics. Pics or its 100% fake. If anything with China's displacement tax I would have thought they would have gotten the 4 cylinders before us.

    It's covered under its 8year warranty. Not as big of a deal as the title leads to believe, IMO.

    Hahaha that was awesome!

    It is true, I was actually taught to do this on turbo'd vehicle when I worked in a shop(and when the filter wasn't horizontal). It is supposed to keep the engine from a dry moment the first few seconds after an oil change. This and filters with a silicone anti-drain back valve will help on a daily basis. I've done it ever since I heard about it on vehicles that I've owned that have a vertical filter. If the filter is horizontal I wouldn't even attempt to fill it up and put it on. That's an inevitable oil mess. I do it because it can't hurt even if it isn't true.

    In that amount of time there will probably be some tricky engine/powertrain configurations. I could see 2 and 3 cylinder engines being the norm in small cars, hybrids of course as well. I feel the displacement tax is an inevitable thing, just give it enough time... Personally, I think HD trucks should also get a lose/minimal requirements. I don't think they should be just free range on power and aero..just because..

    That's some good new to hear about that gen Ions. My sister actually has an 07 as well with around 160k and I believe the only problem she's ever had was accident induced, some front suspension pieces replaced. I think powertrain-wise it's been bulletproof, hers is a manual. She bought it new in 07 and has driven the wheels off of it ever since.

    Me too... Me three. I actually love my bike but it's just tough to find the time to go and in my area you have to drive a little to find good triails. I have a Giant Talon 2 29er. After looking on their website they only have 1 Talon 29er now. Ya know what, maybe this weekend after the oil change I'll throw the bike in the hatch and go find some trails.

    Glad we got to feel your thought process on how you established your opinion. lol

    Oh yeah, I'm currently at 4145 miles on the current oil change.. I almost hope I have to drive around this week just so I don't feel as bad wasting the oil when I hopefully change it this weekend. This weather is just too damn good for this time of year. I woke up at 615 this morning and it was 44degrees out and the high is in the low 60's. IN DECEMBER!
