A 10 speed AT??? Is it secretly a performance CVT or something? That's a lot of gears to play with for a ride to the grocery store...

Unfortunately cars today are sold based on amount of cameras and amount of gears in the AT. The more, the better. Most buyers no longer care about the engine, steering feel, etc. I read about a survey recently sent to BMW drivers and the majority of them had no idea what engine (amount of cylinders and size) their car had!

If so, not being sure about the engine, or even where the engine is hiding under all the plastic shrouds, isn't that surprising...

No assistance, no ********. VDC for stability under harsh conditions. Awesome car. I'd love to see Nissan with a new design, new engine, flatter stock handling, but everything that made this Z hot.

So I was reading about the Toyota Mirai just because I am an inquisitive guy and found some interesting tidbits that MAY be of great benefit to the upcoming Supra and GT86.
http://www.compositesworld.com/news/...y-carbon-fiber http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...on-fiber-foray On the flip side, if Toyota were making their own carbon fiber, why the hell don't they use it in the Lexus RC-F??? |
