  1. After seeing the next Genesis, I am now underwhelmed by this.
  2. hmm, the CTS V-Sport has a lot more power but is close to $70k... so not really a fair fight either way. Still, I love the minimalist yet elegant interior in these.
  3. you're coming here? edit: We're getting blasted. it's the really slick stuff too... both the Encore and CR-V had difficulties getting out of the driveway today.
  4. Not a personal spot... but apparently a tragedy from the current snow storm.
  5. but those aren't repair fails....
  6. And raise the price
  7. Have you actually driven one? To say Kia and Acura in the same sentence is a bit of a sacrilege. It may not be a 100k per year seller, but the engineering and performance of this car is impressive. Drive one, if you get a chance. Add 3 electric motors to it and a 7-speed DCT, and it should be even more so. Sure, it's a technological powerhouse but it totally misses the mark on styling. At the same time, BMW can get similar performance from a diesel while returning better fuel economy numbers. I think of it like this: Acura threw all that hybrid technology at this car, yet the highway mpgs are easily beat by a V6 8-speed Chrysler 300.
  8. Purdy!
  9. I don't know why, but apparently no gamma vehicles can take the 2.0 (or 2.4 or 2.5). The new 1.6T is supposed to take that role for the gamma cars eventually, but they still haven't gotten it certified for the US yet.
  10. Because they (still) don't have such an engine that is certified for the U.S. yet.
  11. decent and needed refinements, I wonder how much weight it gained
  12. Sonic SS?
