Feel Really Bad

Shit. I feel sorry for the lowly 3rd gen owners who didn’t pull the trigger on a 2nd gen.

 

We can relegate them to the mountains of Kansas.

 

Speaking of which, I gotta tell you guys about my uncle mark’s bus-to-RV conversion currently located in Kansas. Man, the stories about dongle drama, month-long searches for an arcane spec of aircraft rivets, and explosions are something else.

 

I would consider a 3rd gen if dealers didn't ask $40k for a 2020.

 

I skipped the 3rd gen all together. Just the trans and engine did not cut it for me.. 2.5 gen fanboy here and still happy with it 8 years later.

 

Ha

 

Good luck going up a small incline on a 3rd gen without the engine struggling to provide the car enough power.

 

If you think that is bad have fun with the 4th gen engine lmao

 

Good one

 

326 hp/465 lb-ft… I don’t get it, what’s the problem?

 

278 hp/265 lb-ft < 326 hp/465 lb-ft

Not sure how you're going to snake around this one...but go on.

 

Feeling bad?
You should be jumping for Joy!

Think of the myriad of additional 'Part out!' posts you'll be able to dish out.at random.

 

He so funny much original.

 

not everyone is getting the hybrid engine. Also for those hoping the hybrid delivers those numbers are misleading.

 

The best part is that even without the hybrid system, the new engine puts out more hp and torque at lower RPM than the current engine.

the hybrid numbers are not misleading.

 

How are the hybrid motors misleading? Or did that come from your ass?

3rd gen motor options:

• 3.5L V6
  • 278/265
• 2.7L V4 (Base Engine)
  • 159/180

4th gen motor options:

• 2.4 liter i-FORCE MAX
  • 326/465
• 2.4-liter four-cylinder (Base Engine)
  • 278/317

Even the base motor of the 4th gen shits on both 3rd gen options. Not to mention that massive improvements the 8-speed transmission is going to bring to fuel economy and every day driving.

 

24 = 278hp… and its also a turbo to get to that 326 option.

Why are you getting butthurt

 

does the electric motor work at peak ICE output? i dont think so.

 

Part out replies getting to you ? Thats unfortunate.
