Lets see you do this in your Kia diesel 4x4!

[video=youtube;Nw_AYY5AvpA]German engineering is on another level light years beyond anyone else.

Bollux. They've hardly changed the internal combustion engine in 100 years, only refined it.
When the oil runs out they'll be stuffed.

Before.

When is vegetable oil going to run out?

It's a Diesel engine.

When is vegetable oil going to run out?

Never.

Nor will Gold, but it's quite expensive you know.

I know, I bought loads of it last week. Gold that is.

I'm shorting oil at the moment too. Reckon it's heading sub $90 a barrel.

If that trades pays off I'm buying an X5 as a treat for myself.

Diesel 4x4 1/4 mile time faster than a Sierra Cosworth.

German engineering is on another level light years beyond anyone else.

No wonder the cops can't catch the dope dealers.

The point of the thread is the Germans thinks, I know we'll build a 7 seat 4x4 diesel that weighs more than the moon.

Oh look, with our engines and chassis technology it happens to be faster than a Sierra Cosworth and uses less fuel too. Hey ho.

Where as a company like Kia do the same thing and it's slower than a milk float.

Germans are like 20 years ahead of the game.

Am I missing something? I thought the whole point of a 4 x 4 is to use it off road. If you want something fast, economic and comfortable then that would a two wheel drive saloon.

Audi S3 is 4x4
Audi S4 is 4x4
Audi RS4 is 4x4
Audi S5 is 4x4
Audi RS5 is 4x4
Lambo Gallardo is 4x4
Porsche 911 Turbo is 4x4
Nissan GTR is 4x4
Mitso Evo is 4x4
Suburu Impreza is 4x4
etc

None of those are designed to go off road. What's 4x4 got to do with going off road? It's about traction and being able to drive on winter roads.
