Sorry double post, but could someone in the US let me know if the ST and RS versions of the Focus are even available in the US?

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense. Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. 
I don't know, I think Tesla could make it's case against nearly every one of those manufacturers. (To be fair, Fiat has only owned Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge for a couple of years...)
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The Hennessy Venom GT is made in texas and beat the Bugatti by .63 mph Not that this shit even has any bearing on how good a car is but... It's based off a Lotus Exige. British car. It's assembled and tested in England. Could technically say, it's English made. To call this car "American" is a joke, frankly. And no, it's definitely fucking not, made in Texas. So quit the bollocks. Look at the list of fastest production cars and tell me how many American cars you see there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fas...ction_cars Also, just to be pedantic: Quote:In 2014, a Hennessey Venom GT was recorded as exceeding 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h), but as the run was in one direction only, and only 16 cars out of a planned total of 29 have been sold, it does not qualify under the Guinness Book of Records or this list's criteria as the worlds fastest production car. ![[Image: Yv7FHSD.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i.imgur.com%2FYv7FHSD.jpg) (March 25, 2015 at 10:22 am)SteelCurtain Wrote: I don't know, I think Tesla could make it's case against nearly every one of those manufacturers.

I like Tesla but no fucking way in hell are they comparing to Lamborghini's, Bugatti's, Ferrari's, Porsche's or Alfa Romeo's. No car nut will ever put them in the same league. Why? Passion. Flair. History. Tesla just doesn't have that I'm afraid. Tesla is a different approach and has it's own great attributes, but they're totally different companies. Hell, Tesla is different to most every other car manufacturer out there, which is simultaneously it's biggest plus but also, in my opinion, detrimental when you want to compare because I don't think they can be.

Good times. ^_^ The New RS Focus is a bit of a let down though, nothing like the 09 model.  RE: CAR BRANDS

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

To install a rapid charging point for your average 60kWh Model S costs twice as much as the car. 16 hours average charge on mains electricity to full battery without supercharging. 
I've always had the impression that american cars were these big gas guzzling tubs... Very wide, very long... not at all equipped for the european city environment - crowded, few parking spots, the ones that exist are about 5m long, so your car better be smaller than that.... plus, taxes. In some places, your taxed according to how much pollution you generate, in grams of CO2/km. The more fuel, the more CO2...
Did I read right when I saw some car that did 8 miles to the gallon?... that's like... (google).. 29.4L per 100km. DAMN! Anything that goes above 8L/100km (below ~30mpg) is wasteful! Some time ago, I was perusing a magazine and an ad for a Hybrid Lexus took over two pages... it was a thing of beauty.... then I looked at the fine print... remember, this is a hybrid car, one that's supposed to waste little fuel... 10L / 100km (23.5mpg). LOL! The Prius does around 5L/100km (47mpg). Is Lexus still the high end Mitsubishi? |
