They're still doing over a thousand km's to the tank so it's not like they're coal spewing beasts like brotrucks. I don't think anybody except for Europe and emission cucked states really give a shit whats coming out the exhaust pipe.

So they didn't really (have) to cheat they just did it to score as many brownie points with the EPA as possible? Seems kinda retarded. you'd think if you're in first place the last thing you'd do is cheat and cost yourself billions of dollars but i guess VAG has the money to wipe their ass with and are pretty bored of Le mans by the looks of it.

Kinda wish they used that money they lost buyout/invest in smaller underdog companies who were doing cool stuff before they ran out of money like Mosler or Panoz. or do more crazy never-done-before shit like a mid-engine'd diesel rotary super car with the rotary designed from the ground up by VAG or just something.

kinda pissed away billions of dollars and hurt the reputation of diesel cars in North America.

Fucking veedub why did they cheat?

If it's what you want, fucking go for it, the VK45 is a nice engine

They are unreliable trash
Direct downgrade from your IS300

Well it's not gorgeous for a start.

>>16496839
do it you're an adult, gotta know those consequences

>>16496839
that's a V6 auto isn't it.

a beater/project for 1500 isn't bad depending on condition

I'm hungover so I'll keep this short; it looks nice but it's a cheaply made shitbox that's worse than all of its competition. Every owner I've talked to just shits on it constantly and wishes they never bought it

>>16496844
What would you recommend?

its a total shitbox.

How much are you paying?

Leather, hands down. Maybe not authentic, but smelt great nonetheless.

please respond

There's nothing controversial about it.
It's well built, reliable, has great engine offerings, and makes a great noise.
But it also doesn't stand out in any conceivable way.
It doesn't have hordes of fans, a modifying scene, or aftermarket support

No one talks about the Mercedes S-class either. Doesn't mean it's a bad car.

I needed a good laugh. Thanks m8

>>16496780
when it's not a 2002+ 4 cylinder and not a CVT, Nissans are fairly reliable.
Unfortunately 80% of their best sellers are CVT equipped FWD 4 bangers

Downsides:
Owning a Beetle
Being gay

Otherwise, yeah, it's a decent alternative.

At what age does one outgrow wanting their car to be shittier just to be different?

>>16496656
I've got a buddy with a fucking sleeper ass bug. Looks stupid as fuck but its funnier than shit when he roasts things in a beetle.

What a comprete faggot

>>16496671
I also didn't mention Watkins Glen, Road America, Daytona, Sonoma, or Indy.
America has tons of awesome circuits, I just picked my personal favorites.

>>16496638
I love Seca but I'm biased because it's where I went to racing school and so I'm super comfortable there.

Europe is probably Spa, and Japan is probably Suzuka, but I only know them from games.

Nostalgia.
Names with Engines

>>16496344
Names are easier to remember and differentiate

>>16496344
Japan's Silvia name is so much better than Europe's 200SX name.

Most "spirited runs" around here will stop for gas if they're going that long. It's not that complicated.

Besides, if they're just doing like 10 over most cars could still just be cruising in a high gear. 1-3 hours is a relatively short drive...

>>16496313

> also this thread is for people with higher HP cars

How much horsepower and how shitty is your car to not be able to run a couple hours even at high speed?
