So, theres a few of us here who no longer have Japanese vehicles, so, lets see what you've got! I have two VWs; a B6 TDI Passat wagon and a Bora 4Motion V6. Both cars are very cool, I love them! The Bora has a surprising amount of squirt (150kw) and handles really well (I put Bilstein B8's in it.) The Passat is less lumber-like that I thought it would be. Its still very 'soft' in how it goes about things, but thats what makes it a perfect family car. Its totally unexciting. I'll post pics soon.

Electric Turbo Interested to see this: The use of a 48V system also allows engineers to fit on an electric auxiliary turbocharger (eZV) that could spin up to 70,000rpm within 0.3 seconds to deliver an immediate throttle response and zero lag. Full article: https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/next-gen-mercedes-engines-bring-48v-electrics-and-the-return-of-the-straight-six-46903?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=msn-australia&utm_campaign=taboola_alwayson_desktop and how long will it be before we start tearing out our exhaust gas energy turbines and installing a 48v electric one? It could be a game changer.
