They are finally making cars that are just all grill outside, all screen inside. Also, I think Audi is suicidal. The problem with the TT wasn't that it wasn't all electric...
>>28682594The real answer
>>28682703needs more buttonsmark my words in 10 years time luxury cars will be all about buttonslop so you don't have to interact with a screen except to look at the map (as god intended)

>>28682390they need the asian market tho

What could be causing the right side of my serpentine belt to get hot and fray and spatter on my hood? 2008 civic si
>>28683337
>>28683337I'm no expert but I'm guessing that means it's slipping pretty bad and is getting ready to go. Bad tensioner? Probably worth checking all the pulleys too.
>>28683337One of your tensioners is stuck. Or probably some other roller that it comes into contact with on that side.

>>28676166>>28676172why did they ditch the fender mounted mirrors? In fact why did all cars ditch them? You see so many in this thread and none on the road.except semis I guess
>>28683301Might be a convenience thing, as they're kind of annoying to adjust. Probably wouldn't be a problem now that mirrors can be adjusted electrically, but with my older cars I have to keep getting in and out just to make minor adjustments. Probably some crash related reasons too, cause pointy out bits on the front hurts squishy meat bags.
Would buying picrel and then tramming from the holes on either side be a decent way to do a DIY alignment?
>>28681761Just do the strings . Hang fishing line over jackstands with a weight on each end, measure so they are parallel to lines from front and rear lip of the back wheels. Can help if you set up plates to let the front wheels rotate freely. Put two linoleum tiles or plastic sheets and some grease in between. Removing the front bumper or rolling the car up on blocks of wood to get ground clearance to adjust the tierod ends without having to lift the car up will make life easier.I did the strings alignment on a W123 (without rotation plates) and it worked great because access to the tie rods is easy. On a car with low ground clearance may be better to just go to an aligment shop. But a lot of alignment shops suck and just take your $100. I've had 50-50 luck with alignments being good or complete waste of money.
>>28681762>I'm just curious if this would be sufficient for a home wheel alignmenthttps://gyraline.com/
>>28681761...Yes? You can measure/adjust toe with toe plates. That's what they are for.
Ive done it with a single tape measure and the result was more precise than the shop.
>>28682022Manual alignments often are. With laser alignments they'll just adjust everything until it's within range. Even if that means one side is a slightly off from the other "green is green"
Is KTM Super Duke or Ducati Diavel better for someone who usually wants to go at sane speed but sometimes wants to go fast?

I didnt even know Lotus made SUVs and Sedans known wtf. Are they good?
>>28680354Lotus is dead, they were bought by a Chinese company and now what Lotus used to be is completely gone. The Evira is the last true Lotus that will ever be made, these other vehicles are just rebadged electric shitheaps from China. Once the Evira is eventually discontinued, all Lotus will sell is chinese EV's.
>>28681937But Lotus is not dead. Lotus has always been an engineering company that simply advertised their services by building the best-handling cars in the world. Yes, the ad campaign has been shrunk to "it's totally not an Evora with a bodykit, we swear", and they had to put their name on Chinese SUVs as a part of the deal, but it's not a gutted brand like MG, they are still there doing the engineering work. Just for the Chinese now.
>>28681967Engineering means nothing if it's built using shitty chinese materials in chinese factories with no quality control standards.
Anyone who buys thing unironically need to lunch or castrated
>>28681967Lotus is fucking DEAD, they just laid off like half their main factory.Nobody wants a ChingChong HK97 at 4000% markup

Does 2025 Mini Cooper S count? Not top of the line, but it still absolutely shits on something like 1990s Golf GTI mk3.
>>28682017Look up the weight of the 2020 models of the cars you listed.
>>28681961do you actually believe this? Is this your first car? Wheelspin doesn't mean fast
>>28681637i recently picked up a 2024 f55 cooper S and love it, i got to test drive the 2025 f65 S as a loaner for a few days while the car was getting its inspection, and honestly they neutered it a bit. They pushed it over 3000lbs (fat) and removed the paddle shifters and got rid of the really fun switches on the interior. The car is definitely more utilitarian nimble city commuter than angry little hatch. What really made me fall in love with it was how it feels like a 2015 car, before it became an iphone on wheels. Full analog controls, tight steering, analog needles and lights, not a screen.
Minis are jow garbage. They know that most buyers are woman so they have tuned the car that way. The current mini is only enjoyable if you read mid high comfortably

ausfag here, Just copped one of these from a dealer interstate, gen two post first facelift (droop eye?). What am I in for? 2018, 99K kilometers. Comes with factory 22 inch wheels which seem a bit shit for offroading but it's basically a nissan patrol but cheaper than comparable patrols.
>>28680378damn that things ugly as fuck
>>28680391yeah it is pretty ugly, looks like a whale. Has presence though.
>>28680378Built for getting confiscated and subsequently destroyed by the police

This is like comparing a third grader's art project to the Mona Lisa because they're both paintings. If you can't tell the second pic is better then I'm sorry for your complete lack of ability to perceive beauty, and likely a lack of soul entirely

>>28681141Autistic>>28683152Golf R if you're not comfortable behind a wrench. You can find a Mk7 S3 or a pre-facelift 15-17 STI for $15-20k. Type Rs are way too expensive but they're good cars. Would sooner do a 22-23 Elantra N. Personally it would be between a 18-21 7.5 Hardtop GTI, S3, or a pre facelift STI if it was me. I chose the STI because it was stock but it still had some issues, namely needing a new steering rack and shifter bushings (a bitch to do on that car). The STIs are the best bargain ATM for a performance car since it's the cheapest but also the least reliable without getting into the exploding engines bit. Just shitty seals and rubber.

why would I get this instead of a ZR1X with equivalent performance, but sustainable across a whole day, with a lift-out roof, and with a historically shorter order delay?

A 45 mph speed limit would save 40,000 lives annually.
