TDI doesn't really tickle me elmo for whatever reason. Plus, I have a feeling it would get pricey in a hurry.

I drove my wife's V70 2.4T the other day, and forgot how much I like the low seamless torque. Hi power, hi revving cars are plenty fun (my 240Z rarely gets shifted before 6K, and often 7).

If I were still in junior high, and still had my drawing chops, I'd be doodling something like this in my spare time...


Low, wide, rowdy, exposed pipes. Almost demands a V8 with that treatment.
