ummm yeah they are actually thinking of making it 4WD as well as a hybrid...I am fine with it being a hybrid only if it remains front wheel drive and only available with a stick. If it becomes AWD then simply put it’s not a true Type R anymore in my eyes. The FK8 showed the world that FWD could be just as capable as all or even rear wheel drive. Adding all that extra weight that comes with AWD will only serve to dilute that heritage.
We’ll see “, but luckily I got mine to hold onto in the event everything holds true.
Auto trans and hybrid drivetrain were already tried on an Acura.I would so much rather them try this with an Acura instead. Next you’ll tell me they plan to offer an automatic option as well...
That's a dumb comparison, Versa is a piece of garbage. Prius is actually one of the most reliable cars available. A more apples-to-apples comparison of hybrid vs conventional can probably be found with the Rav4. The hybrid Rav4 costs $800 extra compared to the non-hybrid, gets 15 more hp, and uses 40% less fuel.A $24k Prius is in the same class (size) as a $13k Versa with the main differences being one gets maybe 35% better mpg but costs double. Pay 100% more for 35% better gas mileage, higher long term repair costs, no thanks. Leave the type r as is please.
Prius to Versa is dumb. Rav4 to Rav4 is a more direct comparison.So a Prius which is a compact car is comparable to a rav4 and my comparison was dumb?
It's not.Prius to Versa is dumb. Rav4 to Rav4 is a more direct comparison.
