This is the 2nd thread I've seen you say you hate domestics.

Can you give me a good reason why? Not like "Just because". I'd like to hear an actual reason?

 

god damn that's an ugly motherfucker, I don't care if it's fast

 

try 1.3......

 

It looks to much like a luxury car. We need more sporty looking v-8's. Im geting tired of the Corvette, Mustang being the only options.

 

Speaking of Bentleys...

I saw a Continental GT Coupe driving around today. Now THAT is pure sex.

 

New M3's

 

Move out of the past… They now offer a 70/7 warranty like a lot of other manufactures. A company won’t offer that type of warranty if there selling crap in a box because if they did then they would loose there shirts. I don’t care what you say that’s simple business science. They do a statistical study to see where the “G” spot is for profit to warranty ratio.

In additon at the track I missed shifted from 3rd into 2nd rather then going into 4th at redline. My engine buried the tack at 8000rpms and staid they’re for a second before coming off it. This is on a engine that already has a very large stroke and still it ran like a champ afterwards, when a lot of engines would have popped.

Ok, I've had it with all these weenies knockin the neon for it's supposed lack of build quality etc. I took the liberty of doing the following research.
Here are my findings.

I decided to start with the most recent model year that would be in the National Highway Transportation Safety Administrations database. For those who don't know, they are the ones that decide that a recall needs to be announced on a year/make/model of vehicle. Let's begin:
I've narrowed the search to the neon, focus, civic, impreza as these particular owners have the biggest slammers, let's compare:



2003 Dodge Neon: No Neon found in database for this m/y
2003 Ford Focus: No focus found in database for this m/y
2003 Honda Civic: No Civic found in database for this m/y
2003 Subaru Impreza (WRX included) recall found

Quote:
Make : SUBARU Model : IMPREZA Year : 2003
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 02V282000 Recall Date : OCT 28, 2002
Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 172564
Summary:
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY AND PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION PARKING ROD. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LEVER IS PLACED IN THE "P" (PARK) POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION PARK MECHANISM, THAT IS INTENDED TO HOLD YOUR VEHICLE, MAY NOT ENGAGE.
Consequence:
THE VEHICLE COULD THEN MOVE/ROLL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARKING ROD ASSEMBLY. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2003. AN INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE SENT DURING NOVEMBER 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SUBARU AT 1-800-782-2783.
Notes:
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).





Now let's look at 2002

2002 Dodge Neon: No Neon found in database for this m/y
2002 Ford Focus: No focus found in database for this m/y
2002 Honda Civic: 1 recall found
Quote:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 01V329000 Recall Date : OCT 17, 2001
Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 295
Summary:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS, THE AIR CLEANER BOX COVER MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, AND A BROKEN PLASTIC PIECE COULD TRAVEL INTO THE INTAKE CHAMBER.
Consequence:
IF THE PLASTIC PIECE LODGES IN THE THROTTLE BODY, THE THROTTLE COULD STICK IN A PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION. ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER CAN ALWAYS STOP THE CAR BY APPLYING ADDITIONAL BRAKE FORCE, OR BY TAKING OTHER ACTIONS (I.E., SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, TURN OFF THE IGNITION KEY, ETC.), IF THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN THE DRIVER IS EXPECTING IT TO SLOW, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE AIR CLEANER BOX FOR DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE DEALER WILL LOCATE AND REMOVE THE BROKEN PLASTIC PIECE, AND REPLACE THE AIR CLEANER BOX LID. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON OCTOBER 25, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
Notes:
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Summary:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND LIGHT AND MEDIUM DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS. A SWITCH LOCATED IN THE PLASTIC COVER OF THE WIPER MOTOR GEAR CASE COULD MALFUNCTION AND OVERHEAT, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF INTERMITTENT WIPER FUNCTION, LOSS OF WIPER PARK FUNCTION, COMPLETE LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION, OR IGNITION OF THE PLASTIC COVER MATERIAL. SWITCH MALFUNCTION IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE INTERMITTENT SETTING OF THE WIPERS IS BEING USED, OR WHEN SNOW OR ICE OBSTRUCTS THE BLADES FROM RETURNING TO THE "PARKED" POSITION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT AT THE FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY PLANTS: ATLANTA PLANT FROM 2/11/00 THROUGH 7/31/00; CHICAGO PLANT FROM 2/14/00 THROUGH 8/4/00; KANSAS CITY PLANT FROM 2/26/00 TO 9/4/00; KENTUCKY TRUCK PLANT FROM 2/18/00 TO 8/31/00; MICHIGAN TRUCK PLANT FROM 2/23/00 THROUGH 8/3/00; NORFOLK PLANT FROM 2/21/00 THROUGH 7/27/00; WAYNE STAMPING AND ASSEMBLY PLANT FROM 2/25/00 THROUGH 8/15/00; AND WIXOM PLANT FROM 2/15/00 THROUGH 8/8/00.
Consequence:

Consequence:
THE WHEEL BEARINGS COULD PREMATURELY WEAR AND CAUSE A NOTICEABLE NOISE. IF NOT REPAIRED, THIS CONDITION COULD PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE THE WHEEL BEGINS TO WOBBLE.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. ADDITIONAL BEARING SEALS WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO ENSURE A SMOOTH RIDE.

i'm also very sorry i offended you and your good friends at chrysler.

after going through all the shit i went through with my talon, i still will always have a negatively biased opinion of chrysler. sorry.

 

Didn't the Talon's have a Mitsubishi motor? Helps if you know your own cars.
