I look forward to the 85hp 1.2L motor.

Looks much better, at least.

They could at least turbocharge it!

[PoorManQ45]

why?

So it can get out of it's own way.

[Dattebayo]

85hp is pretty good for only 1.2 liters. Not as good a ratio as the Honda fit, but were talking about an American brand here...

[HashiriyaS14]

I think it looks cool for what it is.

There will be a larger-displacement engine, or a turbo option, for the United States.



Yay 4 Captain Slow reference.

Care to elaborate? I ride a motorcycle with 18hp to the wheel, so I'm not understanding you...

Really PMQ? You're too stupid to realize the weight difference?

It weighs more then 350 lbs.

Looks better than the previous ones, my wife had '07 Aveo sedan when we got married. It was junk but it came with a 100k warranty which got well used before 12k miles. When we traded it in, the dealer had already had to put a oil pump, a new cylinder head, new camshaft, new engine, new oil pump, new transmission. In that order too.

[themadscientist]

my .660 gets 40+hp. Step up chevy, old painless is waitin.

[Dattebayo]

SO it gets 40 hp or it makes 40 hp? I am confused...

[themadscientist]

I know, I know. Hey, how about a sparkler?

[ThatGuyRoger]

does it still have that horrible half moon shifter?

[Dattebayo]

I know, I know. Hey, how about a sparkler?

Gimmie! Who can resist a sparkling beaver?

[themadscientist]

If her, I mean it sparkles, what? I need to investigate. Something like that must grant wishes!

[PoorManQ45]

It weighs more then 350 lbs.

the point is that there are bikes that have 100+ hp that weigh the same.

its all relative

don't forget all the accessories that are gonna leach power from the motor too.

[sentrastace]

still ugly, still slow, no thanks.

[AZhitman]

its all relative

Not really.

Modern bikes: 50 - 120 hp, 300-700 lbs (rough guesses).

It's not "all relative". The power-to-weight ratios of cars ocupy a much broader spectrum.

I'd venture to say that some cars are so underpowered, they're unsafe.

With that said, it's a handsome car.

[wingFeather]

The concept had a turbo. I like how it looks, and would like to support it but someone said it was built by Daewoo... so no thanks.

As for fuel economy, the website says it gets better highway MPG than Fit, Versa & Scion. Looks to be less expensive (except the xD) with a better warranty, too. Good news for people wanting a new budget car IMHO.

I guess I'm going at this the wrong way.

what happens if/when the pumps start running dry?

everything I see you guys talk about is using resources in excess...

[IBCoupe]

PMQ, what?

[PoorManQ45]

PMQ, what?

you guys keep saying you need more power!

how much is enough? it seems that there is never a thought on fuel availability with you guys. it's all about having a bigger e-penor!

[Razi]

My bicycle gets .5hp to the wheel.

[IBCoupe]

Or, maybe, it's about the thrill of the drive. I'm not going to repost what I posted in the other thread to your identical post there. Just go read it.

[Dittoz7]

Looks like a knock off Sirocco.

Shut up, Granny.

Live through a few fuel crises and then lecture us.

We've got gas.

The problem is that when the resource is abundant we become complacent. This causes alternative fuel research to slow down drastically.

I really hope things don't change from the way they are, in terms of fuel supply, but if they do, it's going to be much worse then the 80s as urban sprawl is at an all time high, and rising.
