Sherman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 General discussion topic of cars, woo! Figured this might be a good idea... for just talking about them, and some questions.. etc. Do ya'll have Honda AND Acura where you live? Or just Honda?

Chris Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Just Honda here in the UK. I thought Acura was only for North America, USA, Canada, Mexico...? Isn't it kind of like Chrysler and Dodge. In the UK we have mainly Chryslers, you rarely see a Dodge, and Chryslers here aren't even that popular in comparison to other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ah, that's what I was thinking... I say "Acura" often.. and that could get a bit confusing. Here, we have a fair amount of Dodges.. Chryslers are still for sale and such, it's just more of a rare sighting. The most popular ones, by far, are Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Nuh, Toyota's here arnt that big, we just have mainly Fords and Holden's (GMH). Holden's are the best, they just came out with a new Commodore called the VE, and it's the best drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 I meant here Out of every new car sold, 1/3 is a Toyota (statistically) in the United States Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Wow, that's alot of Toyota, so what does everybody think about the Hybrid cars , do you think they will take over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 No way, too expensive and.. ew. If you want 50MPG, get a Honda CRX. I drove a Toyota (lol) Prius last weekend or so, terrible. I had to punch it to get anywhere, and even then it was slow. :/ I think I'm just used to the torque monster (Okay, 250 isn't that much.. but it's much more than this thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Just Honda here to I'm afraid. Like Dazza said our main ones are Fords (the best) and Holden (pure crap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Holdens=Pure Crap ?? I love Ford's but Holdens have got a lot better cars then some of the other crap over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Just Honda. BTW, I saw a 'wild' Vanquish today That's the first Aston Martin that I ever saw on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've never seen an Aston Martin in person. Nor a lot of exotic European cars. I see rice, normal cars and Mustangs alllllll day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlsberg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 there are more Toyota's here in India. Honda has some brilliant models like-- this is honda city ZI- this is honda civic- and this is the local brand maruti suzuki- and another one- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 ^arent those everywhere?^ I want to get the 2010 WRX STI when it comes out (when i can drive legally) and then put some evo 10 stuff on it, then get a tighter suspension, better engine, and better power steering. THEN I WILL PRAWN ALL NUBBIES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlsberg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 those car are the quick selling cars in india! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 STi's are overrated. They're quick, yeah. Just.. overrated. Plus evo 10 stuff wouldn't fit, I don't see why you would want it. Heh. The impreza aftermarket is huge though. I love how stuff is for cars, we have so much to choose from. Ricers = suck. Who agrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlsberg Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 i agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well since I'm in the US, we got both Honda and Acura ... and I wouldn't drive either. I also wouldn't touch a Chrysler or Dodge (except a Cummins Ram or a Jeep Wrangler) because of their poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 That's the old Civic. This is the new one: Type R: I've been to the 'Auto RAI' not that long ago. I'll post some pictures of the cars as soon as I uploaded them. Auto RAI is a car show btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) STi's are overrated. They're quick, yeah. Just.. overrated. Plus evo 10 stuff wouldn't fit, I don't see why you would want it. Heh. The impreza aftermarket is huge though. I love how stuff is for cars, we have so much to choose from.Ricers = suck. Who agrees? And they have names that not only mean subaru technica international, but sexually transmitted infection too... And i'm loving the EVO X so far, i think the official pics were released not too long ago, i'll do some hunting... But i'm not liking the big wad of plastic strapped on the front. EDIT: @ jace, isn't the new civic the one witht he 'lights' going right round to meet in the middle of the hood?

Pandora Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm positive that's the new one. The RAI had that one and I live just next to some Honda shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Mike - You're just jealous of reliability! All the cars are starting to look terrible, imo. Some still look good.. some look bad. Evo's are nice looking though, besides yeah, the plastic slab up front. Mitsu beefed up the Lancer a little bit. And Jace, you might wanna mention that's the JDM/EDM(?) civic and not the USDM. They look quite a bit different around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Not only the styling of vehicles is going to poop, but they way they are built. Everything has independent suspension. What ever happened to leaf springs and solid axles and a frame? Now the newer trucks have nothing on the older trucks ... And damn, I'd love to have one of these.

Sherman Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Better handling, lighter. Though I do agree, for hauling leafs are a lot better. Then can withstand more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Here's some 0-60s I took a week ago. Like usual, the car is heavily weighed down ... maybe next weekend on my way back to college I can get a video of the Taurus with just me in it. I also had on the winter tires and those made it slower. I aimed the camera at the wrong gauge and right after I stopped the video I hit a snow drift going 70 In this video I actually backed off somewhere above 90mph but I started swearing at around 87 because I saw a police officer.
