The classic/fave car thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

I've always been a Golf fan the R-Series are supreme cars, a lot of the performance end Euro cars stack up well, I even had a toss up between an R-Series Arteon and a 3.0 L 407 (Renault Engine) a few years back, both around 230kW(300bhp). Pity they are both about 2000kg.

But I've got to say, you need a lot of combustion engine to match the torque these new hybrids can deliver. I've driven a few hybrids recently and I'm shocked by the get up and go they have given the low fuel consumption, I can't see any option for the likes of Golf or Renault but to head down that hybrid road.

Think you will find that VW HQ are putting their faith in Cupra and a Sporty EV Hatchback might be appearing in Aus sometime this year.
Hopefully Renault dont enter the EV/Hybrid race, we got enough rubbish on the road as is although they did increase their sales numbers this year by around 25%. Being a member of the Ateco group doesnt fill me with a lot of hope either...
