Yes...and the kids with more money or credit cards than sense will be having their way with them in short order. The Civic "R" is pretty cool, but more than likely will not get imported here.ukjason said:

I was comparing the s7 to his noble. If I had to match an american car with his seat, it'd probably throw out the dodge srt-4.ALEXIS_DH said:
for my own personal tastes, I would totally love to have a leon cupra r here in the states, and i would take it over most escalades or excursions for what I do with a car every day. The way gas prices are going, I'll bet more americans will start to think that way too. At least the ones in cali paying $3.50/gal
Recall that a UK gallon and a US gallon are different too.....
try 0-60 in 6.9 according to this page: http://www.carpages.co.uk/seat/seat-leon-cupra-review-part-1-06-03-05.asp . and for what it's worth it's just another VW Group product. £18,380 is ~$35k USD, and that will buy you a quite snazzy Audi A3 3.2 DSG, or an Evo, or an STI (the i is now upper case as of 2006)...ukjason said:

Wait - I started to listen to the BBC everyday.
Wait I drive a gas guzzling SUV with 4.0 liter enging producing a whoping 215hp. It gets 12.3mpg hwy, and 10 while towing a boat. Damn us Americans and our American cars.
Oh wait it was made in Solihull, England.

My car gets 30mpg...and pumps out a whopping 120bhp. Dy-noes-mite.
And this thread makes baby Jesus cry.
Dumb question for the brit boy that I've always wondered (and google could never solve):
What side is the shifter on? Lefthand side would drive me nuts.
if the leon cupra r were to be sold in the US, i think its price would be closer to the wrx. that its is price range here and in uk, but our taxes suck. wrx is 35-36k here.Toshi said:
the cupra R in seat, is kinda like the M in bmw, or the S in audi. it carries a signnificant premium over a non R.
an sti/evo is 52-53 grand here. :hot: and last year, the US spec sti (the 2.5L) was 63 grand by grey market import.
there is turbo leon 1.8t, 180hp same engine, different ecu tuning. that retails for 26k, sans the 18in wheels, sans brembos.
that one i guess would be pretty competitive in the US, it would probably retail well under 20k.
Yes I am a Rover whore, but my Rover's chassis has gouges from rocks, so at least I ain't a yuppy.blue said:
British cars have the shifter on the left, the clutch on the left, and the gas on the right, the brake is still in the middle. It is really odd, but I gues they think the same thing about our cars.
Blair rhymes with Flair.the Inbred said:
I don't know about this... cars are such a status symbol that often people spend huge amounts of their income on them. I was on an indian rez in Montana and even though everyone was dirt poor many of the cars were shiny, big American trucks costing upwards of $30k.BurlyShirley said:
We drive bigger cars with bigger engines because (until now) we don't have to pay as much for gas over here. Plus unlike europe we have way more of a car culture and cars have become ways to flaunt our wealth. Different cultures and our ability to pay for huge cars is why we drive them. For example I was laughed at when I suggested to my friend that he should get a Civic instead of another SUV. Clearly efficient cars are gay.
But my car is only a 1.6 liter. And it has 53 horsepower. But this is probably one of the stupidest threads ever. The original poster is a bot (which is short for ROBOT).
I've got a 4.7L V8 that makes 265 hp...and I'm not even american....
s who happened to catch the thread about council housing, this is what I was talking about.
