2wd for gas milage

[Mile High VX]

Yeah, but I don't like that answer! I want 32mpg!!!

Get the new Kia...

Any body here ever look into hydrogen generators for our trucks, or any vehicle? I have read a little, but all I can find seems to be someone else trying to sell me their kit for SEVERAL thousand dollars, or sell me a do it yourself kit that I doubt will work or would wind up damaging my engine.

Oh yaeh...that was a good one...

Get the new Kia...

Nah, probably the baddest new gas sipper coming out is the brand new 2012 (being released Summer 2011) Hyundai - VELOSTER!!! It gets 40 MPG from its 138HP 1.6L 4-banger, has total front-to-rear panoramic moonroof, with base price starting at $17K. It has a 1-door (coupe design) driver side; a 2-door (sedan design) passenger side, along with a rear hatchback door. Check-out the new Hyundai - Veloster on the internet, it's just plain bad@*** from every angle!!! A true VX'er type ecomomy car.




Maybe VT-Maverick will post a "link" for me, since I'm not that computer savvy.

So Riff, I know you hate 4 doors but what about 3?

So Riff, I know you hate 4 doors but what about 3?

Thanx for the "links" (and they are excellent choices, too). Well; I still hate all 4-door vehicles, however the Hyundai - Veloster is an exceptional 3-door that I could find room in my heart (and garage) to live with. I understand their market strategy is tailored towards the small beginning families (or single mothers) with a single child. That's why the 3rd door on the passenger side for easy access to a child safety seat, because everyone knows that the right-rear corner seat of a car is the safest location for child protection. The Hyundai - Veloster has some very unique features for a starting price of only $17K. I can't wait to see and test drive one later this year. Very cool indeed.

dude, i love it. If only i had 17k to start with.

That's why the 3rd door on the passenger side for easy access to a rifle , shotgun & pistol cases, because everyone knows that the right-rear corner seat of a car is the safest location for gun protection.

It is kinda cute...

Wow, Hyundai and Kia are just kickin' our American buttinsky! This and Rowhard's new Kia whip! Wohoo! Have you guys seen how their quality scores have just gone through the roof! Whoodda thunk it just 10 years ago?

Very cool lines, looks pretty good.. ..is that TWO hood scoops???
Front's just a bit bulbous for my taste, but that may look different in person.

Oh, so that 3rd door is for my, um, Italian hardware? I see! Nifty!

[Riff Raff]

Wow, I just noticed how the rear tail-lights of the Veloster closely resemble the same shape/size of the front head-lights of a VX. Hmmm, rear-facing snake eyes. Very spooky comparison!!!

L-Dub--- x2 on the gun transport. Excellent 3rd door idea, my friend. Maybe with some slight modification, the Veloster could be a mini-sized Zombie Hunter vehicle. Time to ponder.

VX-KAT--- The 3rd door would be great for all of your eBay items that you buy & sell (and possible more cats), LOL. Yes; I too am flat amazed at how both Kia & Hyundai have risen to stardum in the last few years, especially with their 10-year/100K mile warranty. A lot of bang for the buck!!!

Oh, most definitely...

In person it looks like this:



Ha-cha-chaaaaa...

[CoastieCosta567]

If I'm not wrong, Isn't Kia an American car, domestic I mean?

I did read an article like 2-3 years back, that Kia and Hyundai said they wanted to start to compete with Lexas and Mercedes-benz, they said that they didn't even want to have a pit stop with Honda and Toyota, but go straight to the gold mind.

That Veloster looks a little like the Nissan Juke. I still like that little car. Contemplated getting that but went with the Lincoln MKX since it wasn't much more than the Nissan. Now that gas is headed towards 4 bucks a gallon, I almost wish I would have gone with the Nissan since it gets 30 where I'm getting 20 in the Lincoln.
Oh well...

[circmand]

looks like the Murano to me

[vxfocus]

ok everyone,i took the front diff,carrier and drive axles off and whent from 13.5 mpg to 16.68 mpg.been thru several tanks of gas and it seems i get alittle better mpg each tank.
so it may be worth it for the summer month to get the better gas mileage.

That is a tall list of work to jump 3mpg!
