Yeah that I6 was not efficient at all, and when you're doing 80 on the highway, it's revving at 3k.

It felt surprisingly quick from a roll though, for a 215hp boat.

I remember my aunt's being a hoot to toss around. She always wanted a Supra & was content when I told her the IS was effectively a non-turbo 4-door Supra...

Not so much in the above wagon form, but the new Octavia looks like a 3-way between a VW,Kia & Malibu

Non wagon content hidden.

Like a Passat humped a Kia, no doubt. And the Chevy was the cuck in the room.

the spoiler tag for non-wagon content

VW is doing its best '90s GM impression with all the badge engineering. You realize how bad it is when you go to Europe and see what looks like a Passat, except by a brand you've never seen before.

^ You know, on my visits to Sweden, I noticed they really love old American muscle cars. A cult following so to speak.
