US motorists

The VW golf GTtdi has to be the best balance of economy and performance. I'm thinking of getting one for a beater.

yep, from technical point of view its the best, however I would have still gotten 307 because it has better looks. Rather crap that PUG now fked up looks with that ugly POS of a nose, which means my next car is going to be Porsche 911 Carrera 4.

I don't recall the Porsche having a diesel engine?

Now this is a diesel engine.



Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

They'll probably end up being bought by Toyota/Mitsubishi/Volksvagen/Renault/BMW/whatever. And then these companies will dictate what Americans drive

No the American public will dictate what Americans drive, just as they do now. I believe it's called a free market.

I believe it's called a free market.

It appears now that the American public does not like to pay free market prices.

It appears now that the American public does not like to pay free market prices.

Then they won't pay it. That's why it's called a FREE market.

How does invasion of Iraq fits into FREE market?
