Lexus learned from their mistakes with the RC and built a proper sports car under Akio's personal guidance. It hides its weight very well for a car built into a category where weight isn't much of a concern.

I'm curious how aftermarket tuners will modify the CTR aesthetically. How functional is that wing?
Wingin’ It
If one piece of the Civic Type R’s bodywork stands above the rest, it’s the hot hatch’s massive rear wing. Mounted above the smaller spoiler that comes standard on all Civic hatchbacks, the Type R’s towering rear wing is as ostentatious as it is functional, with Honda stating that the big wing generates 66 pounds of downforce at 124 mph.Chapter Leader (Southern Region)
K24 Celica would be a cool project

No Supra. Nooooo!
That's almost sacred ground.
Something small like a Tercel or a CVCC.

so ive got a spare, fairly low mileage k24 sitting in my garage and i need something to do with it... wanna swap it in something different, that not many people have done. any ideas? really tempting to see what a 90's audi sedan can do with 200hp and a high revving engine. plus i can piss off all the fanboys

Geo metro?

I would rather have a K series than the S2000 motor. With similar bolt ons you'll make more power with a K.
Given that he's doing the swap to begin with, I doubt he'll stay bone stock.
IIRC K swaps are cheaper and more easily available too. Just more difficult to tune.

If this is the performance of the X3 M40i, i can't wait to see what the G20 3/4 series M40i's #s will look like
Team Owner
That gas mileage too. Probably cheapest in bunch or Jag?
Team Owner
Not sure about buying price, but cheapest to lease that is for sure.
0-60 means little but that 50-70 passing power tho...

November 2017
- Confirmed engine upgrades (B48TU, B58TU, N63TU3):
- 7/18 - non-US B48 G3x
- 11/18 - G20 intro with new B48 and B58
- 3/19 - G11/G12 LCI with all upgraded engines (BTW, 750i becomes xDrive only at that point)
- 7/19 - US B48 G3x and all B58 and N63 G3x
- 8/19 - all G01/G02
- EOP for G32 is 6/24.
- M2 CSL is a real thing.
- A more powerful hybrid powertrain is coming in 745e and X5 xDrive45e models.
- G08 (X3 long base) is being considered for other countries besides China, including US/Canada.
- F39 X2 M35i will be introduced in mid-2018 as a 2019 model. It will be the first model to use the new iteration of B48 engine producing approximately 300hp. Only automatic transmission will be available. The car will have the same bits offered on the already introduced X2 models equipped with M Sport package, adding LED lights as standard and special M Sport seats (not clear yet, if they'll be standard or optional).
- 850i is out, M850i is in. This is strictly a naming and packaging change (M Package with M Sport braked, diff, steering wheel, rear spoiler, and active steering becoming standard for this model).
M2 CSL

I got my new winter rubber in. After 5 winter seasons, my Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 are done. Very happy with them.
Naturally, I went with the new Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 model. Wow, what a different in tread style just by looking at them.
Going to mount sometime next week.

Got two sets of rubber here too. Replacing Michelin MXM4 with General. $70 off from them. $100 from Discount tire. $170 discount per 4 tires for two cars, could't beat it.

Maybe because Accords sell themselves & Acura needs help moving TLXs.

Damn TLX lease is super cheap hahahaha
Team Owner
Even at that price. Accord will outsell TLX at 10x+ rate.
But in seriousness, Accord is too new and TLX is too old. That is why
