^^ I'll believe that when it's in my driveway.

Is there anything currently available in the US that has a 1L engine? I mean, besides motorcycles and lawnmowers? And could it even meet crash tests?

Genuinely curious; I don't keep up with all of the smaller vehicle offerings but I'd buy a S660 just on principle!

EDIT: Oh, and it says 1.0L Inline Three!

 

I think the actual % is a lot higher than that. Depends on how they got those 62%.
There are many holding F1 Visa, H1B Visa, L1/L2 Visa and "Pregancy" Visa. If the 62% is based on US Citizen/Greencard holder residents, then yah maybe. If that is the % of the actual live in Arcadia, i think the actual % is significantly higher.

You read LA Times?

 

I thought it was already confirmed that the 1L 660 will not come to US.

 

New Ford Fiesta and Focus have a 1.0L 3 cylinder turbo engine. It's quite peppy for such a small motor.

 

According to Jeremy Clarkson, the Fiesta 1L turbo is one of the funnest car to drive.


if Prius C can drive on the freeway, i am sure 1L turbo will have no problem.

 

Some additional 3-cyl engines on the market:

BMW Group: Company: Business Segments: B2B Powertrain Systems: Automotive Engines

 

I might be too old for this shit, but damn i really want this... especially its the valve can be control with a remote (key fob).

 

re: the S660, oops. Different rumors swirling around, including a 3-cyl and 4-cyl. Or I could just remembering wrong.

One could hope.

Okay, I found the article that was about 2 days old. Not sure how credible it is, but here you go

I just read this on Edmund forum about leasing. I wanted to reply but too lazy to create an account.

 

I have a "weekend" subscription (actually Thurs-Sunday), mostly to get the Sunday paper without having to run to the store and then finding it sold out.

I think the surveys by the Southern California Association of Governments counts "residents" like the US Census Bureau, regardless of whether they are citizens, aliens or long-term visa holders.

 

 

Is there a Pebble Beach thread? Motor Trend was posting pics all weekend on their IG. Good God!

 

There are a couple from the past. I've sprinkled some neat pics here and there in the various car-specific thread in Automotive News but otherwise, there isn't one specifically for this year's.

 

I remember the days when you could still go in when they have the special car events..

 

Oh.. I live on whiterichman ave., house number.. 69

 

I should have went to pebble beach. Got my weekends confused.

 

Just a story to share:

So I received the recall letter for my Accord's airbag. As instructed by the letter, i contacted my local dealer and asked to make an appointment. I was told the parts had to be ordered and takes 3 months... I was a little shocked but as i understand it was a huge recall so i gave them the benefit of doubt and waited for 3 months for them to order the parts for me. (suspicion #1: they didn't ask for my phone number. I had to ask them "don't you need my cellphone number to let me know when the parts are here?")

3 months later, no one called me. So i called the dealer and ask for the SA and of course, everyone gave me the run around and finally was told.. "what parts? we don't show any ordered parts for your car"

I was mad but did not really argue with them and decided to forget about the whole recall. I can live without airbags.
1 month later (in July), Honda sent me another letter for the same recall and it just triggered another nerve and i read "If you are not satisfied please mail letter to XXXX"
So i did as a way to vent but never expected anything in return.

To my surprised, i got a call from American Honda today and with the local dealer on the other line and made an appointment for this Saturday and parts are ordered today, will arrive tomorrow ... TOMORROW!

After the local SA hung up the phone, i asked the guy from American Honda... They told me parts were ordered in March.... it has been 5 months... He said he understands and don't know how it happened.

Hey Props to American Honda to listen, i still don't like those dealers.

 

^^

Boy, I hope the Telsa people are paying attention! This is exactly why we need a dealer network to sell/service cars. They're the valuable link between the manufacturer and the customer.

 

Fuck the dealers

 

I just hope they don't spit in my car

 

They might fuck with it. I'm pretty convinced Goodyear fucked with my freon when I rejected all the extra work they asked for. I didn't even have any leaks with the dye test either.

 

Fucking stealerships..

 

pop quiz - name all the cars - without cheating!

 

 

 

.........

That is an insult on our car knowledge. Next.

 

What do we get if we win?

 

More importantly, P1 is not even on it.

 

 

ok guys!

 

just trying to pass the time while we wait for the NSX!

 

We don't have that much time.

 

should startup that "guess the car" thread .....

 

Most importantly all of the pictures have the names on the license plate or a visible badge.

 

That's the point..

 

I do believe that is the root of the humerous nature, sir.

EDIT: bah, what he said.

 

No Acura RL with upgraded tires.

No Acura NSX

No Acura TLX

No care..

 

No ILX with those fugly OEM rims :fail:

 

 

Sarcasm doesn't travel well on the interwebs.
