@vt3c You've done well, but I don't think anyone could convince me to spend 30k on a diesel.

I have been in this car dealership for 5 minutes and no-one has tried to sell me a car yet. 0/10.
-
@vt3c Go on then, tell me why I should buy a CR-V.
-
@vt3c Good, but now I'm sitting next to an Accord. Try to convince me to buy that.
-
@vt3c 2013. It's the Gen 8, ES GT trim with the 2.2 litre diesel unit. It's a 4 door.
-
@rotation And it costs Thirty Thousand Pounds.
-
@vt3c Aah, now you see, you have to convince me to drop my old Accord for a new one.
-
@vt3c Ferengi... You should play one in the new Star Trek movie
-
@rotation What if it were a boat, would you spend 30K on a diesel powered boat with 2.2L on the engineblock ?
-
@vt3c 8th gen 2.4s with a manual box are ridiculously rare. Which is a shame, because everyone says it's a cracking unit. Thankfully, there's quite a few 7th gens around, with a 2.4.
-
@critialcloudkicker Even less likely. I live far too far inland to get a boat.
-
@vt3c Bigger engines are more popular in North America, because petrol is cheaper. I think the only Euro model with the K24 is the Accord.
-
@vt3c You'd think they'd put the bigger engine into the CR-V because of its weight, but the one in the showroom's fitted with an R20.
-
@rotation Aww, that is too bad. I mean... Inland weather is always too hot and dry, even when it is raining, and that is my personal oppinion ( oh and inland people trying to tell that a 50/100 on the hygrometer is humid weather, I think they are kidding themselves ) Gotta love living in the Netherlands. Grachten and canal's and vaart/drainage and moat's everywhere :)
-
@critialcloudkicker My problem with living so far inland is that there's less wind, so if it's warm, opening the windows does nothing.

@vt3c With a LOT of minnesota looking like this http://goo.gl/maps/n4vck , Yea I could spend vacation there and get a home-y comfortable feeling... Offcourse everyone would have a Minnesoteian American accent.
-
@vt3c Presumably they see it as a RAV-4 rival rather than a proper off-roader.

@rotation I have not actually thought about that. Oddly enough most of the inland regions are blood red on the tornado risk map right here http://www.insurancerescue.com/images/tornado%20risk%20map.jpg ... Also what is a "special wind region" ?
-
@critialcloudkicker no idea.
