I got quite a few brand new Camrys in the last few Uber rides I took, and in all of them I got car sick very very quickly. The ride quality was truly horrible... I hope they fixed that? I think the...

I sat in an Uber that was a 1.5L Turbo today, it actually felt very fast. Not a surprise, given the engine is very torquey and can easily make a bunch more power with some small modifications. The...

Haha I had a feeling this is what you were thinking. Why not a Lexus LS460 or another big luxury sedan, maybe a Mercedes E wagon, Audi A7, BMW 6 coupe? Or as other people suggested, Maserati Ghibli?...

Everyone seems to pick SUVs, why not a large sedan or wagon? They have a lot of back seat space as well as trunk space, and there's usually a little less wind noise than on SUVs.

I think the 7k rev limiter on a 6 cylinder is the main reason the sound is not quite as crazy as other cars. The next lowest pitched "supercar" if you can call it that is one of the 2GR Lotuses at...

Wait 40 cents? I feel like it's usually 10 cents more for 89, then another 10 cents more for 91. If the difference is bigger than that, I refuse to use that gas station.

What part about "V6 or I6" wasn't clear? V6 or I6, the weight is pretty similar. Usually the engine is in the high 300lbs range for a 3.5L engine, mid to low 300s for a 3.0L.

H4 vs I4 is a big...

That's why I added 100lbs for the turbos and stuff. The shortblock should not be much heavier in I6 or V6 configuration.

No source, no press release, and contradicts the SFR news.

But it IS the lightest in its class by a good shot, and that is very impressive because it has a heavier engine than many competitors too. G37, C350, Guilia, are all 3700lbs. IS350 is 3600lbs.
