Yeah but not in the US, which is what they are talking about in this article. VW Group outsold Tesla in the market they are focused on (Europe).

Yes and timing chain. I’d rather have the 2.0 gen 3 or later over anything modern Toyota is putting out simply because it has all of the tech refined (reliable) after generations of modernization AND it puts down serious power.
It has been studied extensively that direct injection engines benefit from either using high quality premium fuel or using fuel additives like jettronic to avoid walnut blasting.
I’ve opened up many 2.0 TSI of multiple generations in my time at VW/Audi and have seen first hand. That’s why I bought my A4 Allroad. It has multiport injection and that cleans the valves (especially with nice fuel as I stated). My wife’s Tiguan is not so lucky.
If you have studies, please cite them, but sweeping statements about big oil don’t do it for me.
Here’s Consumer Reports: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/top-tier-gasoline-worth-the-extra-price-a7682471234/#:~:text=The results showed that on,chamber than Top Tier gasoline.
I run premium gas just to avoid carbon fouling on my direct injection engines and I put more roadtrip (interstate) miles on in the summer so I tend to run premium gas then. Rev it up nice when it’s warmed up for a little bit of a nice Italian tune up.
So they may not be totally full of beans.
I don’t know, maybe I’m too young or something but I think they are absolutely crushing it with their entire lineup. I’m just too poor to enjoy any of it for myself.
Man I’m the opposite. I love the fender and hood aggression carrying into the headlights a little. Otherwise I get the old egg-shaped Ford Taurus vibes.
It’s been long enough that maybe that is back in style again, though.
Your V60 is still young!
Or his admin?
It will be nice for almost every country to gain supply chain independence with this tech, to be honest.
Looks like it worked
And NBC would not be doing their job if they weren’t promoting the push.
It’s shaking up the landscape for sure. All those OEMs have increased pay and many have exceeded the increases of UAW.
