no 4wd

2019-06-12 20:46:38 UTC  

well yeah the audi q7 v12 has insane torque

2019-06-12 20:46:51 UTC  

I meant than the suburban

2019-06-12 20:48:00 UTC  

oh lol

2019-06-12 20:48:02 UTC  

weird

2019-06-12 20:48:19 UTC  

@LOGiK Sure it was a v12, and not a v10? The Tourareg had the v10 TDI

2019-06-12 20:48:30 UTC  

probably gotta do with gearing

2019-06-12 20:48:33 UTC  

@Fitzydog yeah, it's a v12

2019-06-12 20:48:54 UTC  

Huh, weird. You'd think they would just put the same engine in both

2019-06-12 20:48:58 UTC  

the v10 is a great engine though

2019-06-12 20:49:14 UTC  

it's got gear driven cams

2019-06-12 20:49:24 UTC  

👌

2019-06-12 20:49:30 UTC  

I've heard it's expensive to fix if it does break

2019-06-12 20:49:43 UTC  

probably, most vw/audi stuff is

2019-06-12 20:49:59 UTC  

I'll stick with a 12v <:shap:497652686603288576>

2019-06-12 20:50:15 UTC  

the reason I don't have a phaeton is the maintenance costs

2019-06-12 20:50:33 UTC  

phaetons are ridiculously cheap used though

2019-06-12 20:50:43 UTC  

If you can't afford the maintenance, you can't afford the car

2019-06-12 20:51:15 UTC  

honestly I kinda want one of the lotus 430s

2019-06-12 20:51:58 UTC  

Wow, didn't know that was a thing

2019-06-12 20:52:10 UTC  

Yall euros have really niche models

2019-06-12 20:53:49 UTC  

I think ours came with one gas engine choice, and MAYBE a 4motion package that wasn't common

2019-06-12 21:02:57 UTC  

Niche is relative, we just have options for every budget

2019-06-12 21:03:04 UTC  

and every situation

2019-06-12 21:03:07 UTC  

and every nation

2019-06-12 21:05:08 UTC  

Yeah, that's niche lol

2019-06-12 21:06:10 UTC  

well, relative depending on the viewpoint

2019-06-12 21:06:33 UTC  

obv. a 316i wouldnt sell well in the US

2019-06-12 21:06:41 UTC  

but across europe, yeah

2019-06-12 21:06:49 UTC  

except germany

2019-06-12 21:07:05 UTC  

cause they dont tax their cars as heavily

2019-06-12 21:07:33 UTC  

Well, I'm coming from an American perspective where most cars have a single engine choice

2019-06-12 21:08:35 UTC  

Our trucks though, they have tons of configurations

2019-06-12 21:10:19 UTC  

I.e. The Silverado.

Thats got two different sub models this year; the new model and last year's.

There's 7 engine choices between the two of them

2019-06-12 21:13:24 UTC  

the thing here is that a lot of places have emissions taxes or an equivalent

2019-06-12 21:13:32 UTC  

which obv. also isnt the same everywhere

2019-06-12 21:14:07 UTC  

e.g. here in austria i would pay 35k for a gt86

2019-06-12 21:14:10 UTC  

in germany 30k

2019-06-12 21:14:17 UTC  

and obv. in the us its 23k or w/e
