The 1.5L Turbo in the new Civic doesn't have an engine cover

>autism

To many electronics running in engines nowadays that it's just a clusterfuck

that is a refreshing change of pace.

Alfa used to show really damn proudly their engines not even that long ago.
Not sure if they still do that but probably not

The most annoying thing is when cuck reporters open the engine bay and complain about the bay being "cluttered" and then rejoice when the engine is COMPLETELY hidden behind plastic covers.

Fucking cuck reporters enable this shit.

I have no idea if the alfa V6 is shit or not, but damn is it pretty

>>16898227
Such a small and shitty engine there's no benefit to cover it aside from hiding this ugliness

>>16898565

Those funtimes are over.

Alfa engines look like every other now. Just like the Alfas in general.

Basically they're telling you to not bother working on cars yourself and "look at the pretty engine cover!"

Half of the car is computer anyways so we can't do shit in the garage.

I know Mazda is supposed to be a bit more enthusiast oriented but I still didn't expect this

Audi at least used to have pretty small covers on the engine itself.
The rest of the engine bay is a sea of black plastic shells though.

genesis coupe had a very attractive engine bay, so does the new genesis cars like the g80 if you take the cover off

ford focus.

it's hard to see in this pic but the engine bay has a big cavernous hole behind the engine, making it easy to access the engine from both sides.

AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
ALL IS LOST

>>16902044
that's some fine ass cable management compared to most other new engines.

apparently they really gave their best because no cover.
but why? wouldn't some half assed management with cover to hide it be cheaper?
