24:25 - After hearing all the feedback from enthusiasts, Acura is proud to unveil the the Integra Cross, featuring a naturally aspirated K20 producing 182hp and 153lb/ft of torque to pull the lightweight 4130lb vehicle from 0-60 in 10.2 seconds.

Discussion at 12mins. Also there's dillholes with money buying all the new cars that they don't even want and selling them 4 months later for $8K over MSRP 1h36m: my buddy and I have the same agreement. I get the CTR he grabs a GR Corolla and we compare. Assuming we can both get them, of course 1h47m. Turn all those dealerships into branded CPO car lots and keep the maintenance department. Maintenance and used cars is where the majority of the dealership income is from anyhow Diesel discussion at 3h5m. The EPA has clamped down so hard on diesel emissions that the benefits of it are lost. Once upon a time you could get a Jetta that got 52mpg and had more torque than any other 4 banger on the road. But then the EPA clamped down. Prices for diesel doubled, particulate filters became mandatory, DEF got introduced, and emissions tightened. Now diesel cars and trucks make less torque per liter and gas milage suffers. It's simply not worth it to make a diesel car anymore. Too many hoops to jump through with no benefits

[@batape1965]

Enthusiasts are forever griping about "lack of engagement". But Mark, you used to own what is arguably one of the most engaging cars ever: the Ariel Atom. And IIRC you sold it because in your words "it got old". When I hear people complain that they "want to feel in control!", I think to myself they should take up wrestling or triathalons or something where success or failure is 100% on the individual. Even in a car like the Atom, the car is doing over 95% of the work. I understand that people long for the sweet spot of cheap, fast, lots of feedback, great handling etc, all the while getting over 30 mpg. Those days are never coming back.

Thanks for commenting on the dct/6spd with the Elantra. If people can't drive manuals, they should just buy one and then they will be forced to learn. It might look weird stalling and creeping off the lot, but who cares. Maybe buy a logitech G29 and forza to get the idea of it or ask somebody at a car meet or auto x to teach them. It's too bad parents don't teach this to kids anymore.

[@danr154]

Thats what I did and ngl.....eh.....not sure it was worth it. Its like learning latin. I dont really care and its a skill thats usefulness dwindles a little every day. Also I live in mountains. It just ends up being more shit I have to manage and worries me that it will slow my reaction to an emergency situation because I have to operate a steampunk lever and 3rd pedal all the time. Also I just hate the inherent lack of smoothness, makes me embarrased to have anyone in my car because Im not perfect at it.

[@AnonAnon-qi4ts]

@@danr154 what an interesting viewpoint. I guess I never considered that it isn't enjoyable. Now that I think about it all my friends and girlfirend who grew up driving manuals drive my cars and they say it takes them back, but they would never buy one now. Same thing with, low cramped cars.

I think the 10/10 rage for mild inconvenience is more of a cultural thing. When I lived in Australia this was pretty normal. However after 6 years driving in Japan, which has some of the stupidest road designs and traffic flow patterns (think single lane two way road, so narrow a single car completely fills the only lane and meeting incoming traffic requires reversing) I don't remember a single incident that involved more than single short horn toots. I think the west is just entitled. Other countries have more patience and understand the other person is just trying to do their thing too.

I missed the chance to drop a super chat when you guys were live but what I was wondering is what is up with Honda? Our local Honda dealer, one of the largest in eastern Nebraska, has less than 12 cars in stock to purchase. Most of what we see online is inbound or pending. Out of all of the dealers and brands in town, Lexus, Toyota, Chevy, Hyundai, etc., I have seen less new Hondas in stock than the others. Is it because of chip and parts shortages or are manufacturers trying to change the model where you can only order online, or is it both. Anyway, this was a great podcast and thanks guys!

A $20,000 PTS to cure my PTSD.. On a sided note, Mark I appreciate you bringing up about how there are wedges being driven in society by everyone based on their opinions and allegiances. If someone be-littles other people for not siding with their allegiance, they dont really care enough about the matter of allegiance in the first place - they really just care about finding something to feel superior about because they have wrongly been defining their self image based on having some sort of advantage over other people in this world just to find something to feel good about themselves. I am part of the #savethemanuals, but whenever I see someone belittling auto drivers, I just think what an idiot. That person doesnt really care about auto people trying and buying manual transmissions, because all they are doing is pushing people away from the cause they claim to care about. The same is true with politics and everything else.

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

Just bought '22 g80 right before they switched up to '23 m.y. and it's amazing! was cross shopping it with ES 350 and the problem with that was that currently you can't place an order. You can only buy what comes from the factory, which is either base with prem. pkg. but w/o sound, OR maxed out with all additional options. Base ends up around 50k otd, while ultra luxury at 60k - ridiculous amount for the fwd on shared architecture... So went with rwd g80 2.5 advanced at 58k otd and it's just a level above, especially the road presence! Thanks to your tech review, even though I'd disagree on your 4 cyl. take.

If by chance you start looking again for a hauler to replace the X7 mr geese then i highly suggest that you check out a low mileage 2016 Touareg, Q7, or Cayenne with the 3.0 TDI Diesel Engine. Since it's the last year they were sold in the USA due to the emissions scandal, you can likely come across one that was sold years after they were produced. I've seen a few bought in 2018 and with the 10 year 121k mile warranty from the original in service date you can find one and have good piece of mind that the fuel system, emissions, turbo, EGR, and long block will be covered. I've got five diesels all from 2015 that I'm very content with.

I'm regards to why people get so aggressive on the road, a big part of it is because cars mask body language, and when you can't see body language, you can't communicate properly. Most people just assume the person who had "wronged" them assumes they're in the right.

Something that has been embedded into me about how to act on the internet or in a car or whatevrer is this: Don't ever do or say anything that you wouldn't do or say if a person could reach you.

It's a fallacy there; you got it the wrong way: _'Why do those powerful people waste their influence on divisive crap?'_ - They have that power and influence because they do that. They are enslaved to the easy decisions they made. If they tried a different approach, they would lose all power and be helpless. - External power is borrowed and can create an enslaving imbalance. The biggest, most wealthiest crooks are also a nemesis for us. They are our collective champions, champions of the rot we live and empower. - As the 'genius' Einstein once pointed at: A bad person has no power without the many lending their support, going along. - This is why one of my most conveyed spiritual teachings is: *Corruption is a grassroots movement.*
