DAT VTEC DOE

@Prince Artemis  
Complete with the decals adding 5hp each

CIVIC SIMULATOR 2003

@Prince Artemis  
Lol pretty epic. The life of Civic owners: the simulation

@SeraphimDawn  
I agree.. he is working full time on youtube so that could be a possibility.  
The Pacifica crossover was quite common. I even have a little brochure I ordered in the mail when I was in middle school. :)
 
Ah I’d love to see a Mercury Cougar. Totally thought those cars were like super fast when I was a kid

@RainbowDash69  
Here’s a Chrylser Crossfire.  

 
I still see some old people driving around in those Sebring convertibles.  
 
1998
 
And didn’t know the Pacifica was a crossover at one point.  
2008 model  
 
I actually saw one the other day.
 
My aunt in law had a 1995-1996 Sebring coupe as her first car.  
 
It was pain in the ass to get into the rear seats. But overall, it was an average ride.
 
 
I really think RCR should review the 1995 Cadillac Seville STS.  
The Kia Cadenza.  
Honda Crosstour  
Suzuki Kizashi  
Pontiac Solstice  
Oldsmobile Alero  
Or the Mercury Cougar 1999 or 1968 models.

THE BEST
 
THE BEST PART 2

Trackhawk is confirmed y’all! and the Wrangler pickup is gonna be an official model, even after years of modding…
 
 
@SeraphimDawn  
Chrysler cars were so cool when I was a kid, even if they were common. I’ll never forget how hyped I was to sit in a early 2000s Sebring Convertible in a small town parade

@SeraphimDawn  
Apparently so.

@Prince Artemis  
OMG!  
He’s actually reviewing that?
 
@RainbowDash69  
They were suburban staples back when I was a kid.

@Prince Artemis  
he hit a home run with that car. the video perfectly explains what goes through my brain when I drove one back a few months ago! :)
 
also, those fog lamps are just terrible.

@Flying Pancake
 
Wow, You know the Aerocivic. I’m glad to see it here. The owner Basjoos, over at www.ecomodder.com, had a clear plastic cover over the engine too but it was fogging up in rainy weather plus he thought it might look odd if a police officer stopped him. While I think he said it was legal he thought “I’ll not bother with it.”
 
Here’s a thread all about it, there are 51 pages of replies now:

@RainbowDash69  
It keeps fooling me every time.  
 
I see a lot of them on the road.

@Flying Pancake  
Dang, that’s awesome. a 1939 Maybach inspired all that! the people in the 30s sure were headed in the right direction (too bad they weren’t trying to be hypercars)
 
well, GM has a huge contract with the military already so it would be nice to see them at the forefront of new technology
 
 
@SeraphimDawn  
ah but it is still a hatch! it’s sneaky like the A7 and Panamera!

EDIT: Sorry, double posted again.

@RainbowDash69  
Not sure if it’s been on a YouTube channel, but it’s got it’s own website, aerocivic.com, where they explain it in a little more detail.
 
It’d be really disappointing if Chevy were to only do an Equinox like that instead of the ZH ₂. Assuming the ZH ₂ does well in the Army’s evaluations, it’d have a heck of a selling point. I’d hope GM wouldn’t waste that opportunity.

@RainbowDash69  
It looks like a sedan now.

by the way, this is probably the closest we’ll get to “military sci-fi” vehicles:
 

@Flying Pancake  
Oh that Prius must be from one of those youtube channels? I remember seeing one with a giant rear setup like that. it is fun to read about aerodynamic design, I really wanna get in fluid dynamics research when I get outta college. (I’m an engineering student now) it’s so fun to see how good a car can get even if it looks insane/ridiculous
 
Hydrogen cars are very inefficient right now, but if enough people take the “leap of faith,” the price will be comparable to cheap oil. The only difference will be the lack of pollutants! there’s a lot of possibilities, there just needs to be more demand. I think demand will come very quickly once people notice the climate start to change. *puts on tin foil hat*

@Flying Pancake  
You and me both

@SeraphimDawn  
The liftback/hatchback/Kammback really should have been how it was from the start. I can’t think of a much less functional configuration than a miniature sedan, particularly when you’ve got batteries taking up trunk space.
 
@RainbowDash69  
Weight reduction matters, but if you really want to improve your fuel economy, you need to focus on aerodynamics. That’s how this old Civic can cruise at highway speeds and return 85-95 mpg:  

 
I’m not sure about hydrogen cars’ efficiency, but I hope they eventually catch on, if for no other reasons than that they’re better than electrics, and because I really like the look of the Colorado ZH ₂:  

 
I’m a sucker for sci-fi military vehicles.

@Prince Artemis  
haha :D
 
seriously though, the use of composite plastics (polymer with carbon fiber tubes inside of them) can save a lot of weight along with using hydrogen fuel cells. I’d be jealous if I lived in California seeing those fuel cell cars and the pumps all over town

@RainbowDash69  
The only way I see that happening is if a car was made of paper and powered by the engine from an push mower.

@Prince Artemis  
true.
 
also, people were very optimistic about 200+ mpg with “hypercars” in 1998
