no thanks. I like having torque. lol jk.
I'm actually a pretty big HOnda fan myself. After riding in an all-motor teggy drag an evo from a roll I was convinced Honda's can be fast too.

"you dont appreciate friendship until you lose your bestfriend...."
I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.
Nissan also pulled out of NAIAS in Detroit. Ford, GM, and Chrysler pulled out of the Tokyo Auto Show, which might be completely cancelled. But it isn't a surprise, considering all the stupid 0% APR financing offers that make them absolutely no money whatsoever.
But it makes them money in the long run! Money... that they've already spent... money that they probably won't get back because the car was repo'd. Money... shit, I should just stop now.
If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.
Hold on I was told by someone. That mitsu was owned my ford??????.... Is it true?
wtf? no.

More like in recent information climate it's less and less valuable to attend motor shows... a few "leaked" photos create a much bigger "sensation" than spending millions to deck out a booth and fly prototypes and cars around.
It's just the way it's going to be guys, sooner or later we can have like projection screens to project a prototype in your house in 3D and you just walk around it like you would in an actual motor show and it'd cost the manufacturers tenths if not hundredths to deliver the content right to your home.
because no one can "buy" anything at a motorshow it's the "sensation" and "presence" that makers are paying for.
Why do it the expensive way?
Wow ok that makes me feel alot better about my car hahahaha
damn this sucks. we should all go buy and EVO to help the market!!! lmao
If you could get credit.
Love,
Matt
Spy photos have been 'leaked' for decades, its nothing new to create excitement for a new car model, and yes, you CAN BUY things at the auto, I see it all the time.
And Panda, if Mitsubishi bails on the USA, I'm going to Mercedes, not Honda...lol
Well they sell things but that's totally not the point of the motor show :smt068
Spy shots leaked "intentionally" by manufacturers, viral and vapourware are definitely NOT how they used to handle things a decade....fuck me 5 years ago.:smt101 That's a totally different thing than spy shots shot at the nurburgring with heavy cladding back a few decades ago.
And welcome to the world of Mercedes. Where dealer might trade in your E class for a B class unintentionally because they can't find a fix for your 7 speed transmission.
My friend has been driving a 2009 B class for 4 weeks now as Mercedes has taken his 2007 E class in for a transmission change and reflash - still no news when the E class can be back on the road yet.

Yea, ok... I'm from Detroit, and I know and have worked with higher ups at GM, Ford, and Chrysler (and all the Euro and Japanese imports too) and know exactly how they have worked things for the past 30 years. You?
I've seen cars PURPOSELY driven and parked outside cafes and restaurants and the execs are actually asking passers0by and other people what do they think of this car? I know people from Car And Driver and Automobile magazine and they would more than corroborate my stories.
mitsu won't make a rwd coupe with the 4B11 because hyundai already makes one, the Genesis...
purposely driven outside to show people is one thing. Leaking pictures of cars that don't exist, hype it all up, and then say it's "just an exercise, here see this rendering!" is a whole different story.
get with the times.
I've been there, it is called a publicity stunt, it happens all the time. YOU get with the times.
FCK NO.
...unless i can get an S2K for a good price. :)
