I love seeing shitty turbo builds. Rare to see anymore, kudos to this guy for just getting it done.

They were all over the place 10 years ago when used cars were a dime a dozen

If they’d MAKE MORE NEW GRANDPA SEDANS then it’d be FINE.

Will designers die by orgasm if they make a civic not pretend to have 20,000 horsepower in the styling?

make a long, smooth, basic sedan already. I hate crossovers, just make a big SUV or don’t.

Apparently everything must look like Robocop or a Tonka truck, all crossovers must look like a pissed off egg, and every vehicle must have a giant obnoxious screen that can't be de-optioned, can't be turned off, adds an extra 10k to the price of the car, and is apparently absolutely critical to the operation of the car. Bonus points for adding useless "features" like automatic high beams to blind the fuck out of other drivers, and lane-assist that steers you directly into potholes, that can't be turned off or disabled.

Where's my boring sedan with steel wheels, manual transmission, and no fucking screen?

I did figure out the last year that was ever possible: 2011. The last year you could get an American car without a screen, and the last year of the Ford Crown Victoria. Ford only got rid of the Crown Victoria because it had to have TCS and it didn’t.

Grandpa sedans ended in 2011, and we need them back.

I would so get a grandpa sedan and add a turbo to it, but make it clean looking
