cintron Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 blah. turbodiesels = no throttle responsiveness.perfect for sensible, torque-hungry daily commuters who want cupholders and plush leather seats.pointless for anybody who wants a real car, but i say bring em over here in droves. I want the price of high-test to drop through the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
