Honda's engines vs Nissan vs Toyota?

I would say Nissan, Toyota, then Honda. The reason i would rate Hondas V6s last is that i've had time with their old 2.7 to the 3.0-3.2L(haven't driven the Odysse 3.5, but i've also had time with a NSX 3.0 however it was in a manual),.. and they ALL lacked torque, i don't care what they're rated...

Whoah...Audi S4 Avant or the new Volvo V70R???

Nah, i don't think its even a close comparison, to be honest, the V70R seems to me like a baby S4 Avant almost, 40 less hp and 50 ft/lbs.

I saw a 2003 Accord

Test drove one last week with the I4/auto and I'll admit it look pleasantly striking(in your face styling) at first sight, however, after some 10 minutes of snooping around, in and out, it started looking worst and worst(ugly). I won't say much about how it drives except that the whole time...

2002 Entry-Level Luxury Sedan Comparison Test

For those keep saying how 38K-40K is too much for a VW(Passat), I don't see much haggling when it comes to a 45K Acura RL which only has a 3.5L V6 and is FWD. Same with a 38K ES300 which is a trimmy Camry with fwd... or a 40K Toyota 4runner LIMITED(for soccer mom's its crude luxury at the least).

2002 Entry-Level Luxury Sedan Comparison Test

The W8 is all-wheel drive which would explain why it consumes more gas than the other cars. As to the disappointing 0-60 times, again the AWD robs more power and is heavier(but its also more robust than the others too). I've always felt that 0-60s are kinda stupid in the luxury segment, what's...

GM says they will match Japan quality

The M3 needs a alittle wider track(suspension tweaks can only do so much)..to ultimately challenge the vette on its own term which is pure sports car road-holding tenacity.

About the Jetta being a Cavalier-class car, the Cavalier is a one trim car, the Jetta has many(1.8T, V6, 2.0). The baseline 2.0 Jetta with the same option of the Cavalier can be had for under 16K not much more than a Cavalier, moving up the scale doesn't have to mean a LARGER car...

The term is used to label accountants but these days I'd imagine it includes marketers as well, they're the arm chair CEO who thinks they know whats best for a company by the amount of money they can save.

He's right though, the gas pedal are usually much overboosted(for various reasons that is besides performance as it really doesn't make the car any faster and ruins pedal feel). The brakes are well overboosted too.

Need a car under 20G that can destroy a Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo 2k2

Saw a 968(92' with 100k miles) for $10K awhile back in the classified, anyways lots of speed for cheap and should still run door to door with a new WRX.

Give me some advice - thinking about an Integra

How about a truck(say a early 90's toyota 4x4), good reliability, not much style though.

Why don't we have 4 day work weeks, 3 day weekends? (POLL)

iirc, in economics a model called the "utilization maximum"(sp) helps to predict the efficiency of a economy based on a few things like productivity, technology, labor force etc... However, in modern times, the size of the labor force(or perhaps hours of work) is becoming less and less paramount...
