I drive an automatic v8 from 2012. In my, poor, defence I use it as a daily drive to and from work in awful traffic and don't use it on a track or for any sort of racing. I just like to 'cruise' around in it. It's got a sequential shifter, which obviously isn't as responsive as genuine manual but at least allows for some adequate control over the gears when I want.

That is just plain wrong. I don't know how anyone could claim they are overall better than manuals. I can understand why you would get pissed.
I would have bought a manual if I could, but I got this one second hand and it was a bargain considering the work that had been done to it. If I had bought the manual equivalent and done the work myself (well, taken it to a shop to get it done) I would have been out of pocket an easy $15-20k.

You could argue that in certain situations that automatics could be better than manuals. I'm thinking more of higher end performance sports cars where automatics can get amazing quick shifts.

Automatics definitely have their uses, but claiming (like in >>12246) that they are overall superior to manuals, I think, is wrong. However, I guess we are getting to a point where technology is allowing automatics to catch up to manuals with their sequential shifters: either in stick or in flappy paddles. I still believe that a manual gives you more control over the car and regardless of how good an automatic gearbox may get it will never let you skips gears, such as downshifting from 4th to 2nd.

The station wagon is a symbol of American pride over the many victories, in the early 20th century. A carriage for the family seeking to explore and reap the spoils of the great American countryside, in an unforgettable era of invincibility.
The hatchback, however, has none of those honors. If it were symbolic of anything, it'd be of the strict vice, and decay of western society. A meager vehicle for one who would only ride with one another beside him, if he rides with company, at all, as he hums foreign tunes, whilst thinking of foreign tales designed to sell the trite ride he tries to pride himself in. At the very least, it conserves the foreign oils bustling within it.

Just like big American cars, small hatchbacks rose in Europe out of environmental necessity. 50s American cars are big with big engines because the country was big with big, long, straight roads. European cars, especially small hatchbacks, were that way because most people lived in or near cities and the roads in those cities were tiny because of how old they were. Small hatchbacks are quintessentially European. AFIAK, kei cars have never been exported and have had little to no influence over European cars.
What about rally, the purest and most European form of motorsport? Do you think that that is degenerate because they use two door hatchbacks?
The geometry of a D pillar doesn't change anything other than cargo space and your attempt to sound enlightened falls flat in the face of your stupidity.

No.
You see, what matters is power, because power is constant through the drivetrain (assuming no friction losses), while low torque can always be converted to high wheel torque through gearing.
So if your diesel produces 120hp at 3500RPM while your gasser produces that same amount of power at 6500RPM they both have the potential at going equally fast.

OHC allows 4 or even 5 valves per cylinder for more power and supports neat stuff like VTEC while pushrod engines are cheaper, easier to work on and perhaps a little lighter because of less camshafts.
OHC and DOHC is great for inline engines, but anything with two cylinder banks is going to get complicated with such a system.

>rally cars have always been small
Yet you do not state the reason for them to be raced with hatchbacks, specifically. The real reason for that being that rally races themselves were cultivated in the age of the hatchback. As society moved to more conservative vehicles, so did the racing community come to center around them. That's another story, though, since station wagons weren't mostly used for derbies, all of the time.
>I didn't notice it until after I posted it
Yet that was much too late, and I'm not the type to pass out on a quick insult.
>only larping retards do this
Men and women got married at much earlier times, in those days. Not only that, but there was definitely less social anxiety in the air. Fresh off high, they'd strike up a household, if they didn't go at it, long after, and back then, it was "til death do you part". Very conservative times, unlike afterwards, where many couples would attempt to hold back on starting a family with how the economy was, sometimes having only a single child, or maybe two if they felt excessive. Not too many eight-child households, in the future, if you know what I mean.

They were not. Pics related. It likely happens that as time went on, people realized that small sedans/coupes aren't practical, so manufacturers started making small hatchbacks. I assume it's a mostly European thing, since you see a lot more sedans in the US.
>As society moved to more conservative vehicles

>in those days
We also sent niggers to different schools, institutionalized the insane, and killed communists, in those days. How society functioned 50 years ago doesn't apply to how it works today, regardless of whether the current condition is good or bad. If you are 25 with a wife and three kids, go camping on the weekends and do road trips every summer, it makes perfect sense to drive a station wagon. But if you don't do or have any of those things it doesn't make sense, and there is nothing wrong with driving a small hatchback to take advantage of the cargo space, fuel economy, and driveability.
You know how the original Beetle was the official do-it-all car of Nazi Germany? You know how it only had two doors? You know how a family put their three kids in the back and went on trips?
>hold back on starting a family with how the economy was
You say that like it's a bad thing. Having kids is stupid if you know you can't afford it. What creates an environment where such conditions can occur is a completely different topic.
Multiple kinds of car are useful for the same purposes. However, small sedans and coupes are significantly less practical than small hatchbacks, so if you need a small car (whether you live in a city, need to save on gas, or whatever else) the most practical option is a hatchback.
Sometimes you people say things that make me question whether you are serious or not. I honestly can't tell half the time. You must either be joking or retarded. I'm more agitated by that than by the specific topic of discussion.

Except it isn't exactly enough room for gear, unless you're just roughing it, or going alone, which again brings me to how lonely hatchbacks are meant to he designed.
>I wrote nothing to imply anything of the sort. It is true, though, that most early European small cars had only two doors, and that remains to this day
Which brings us exactly to the point about western society becoming one of loners, from the four-door folk's wagon, to the two-door import.
>they were not
Read: cultivated. Not created from. As the age of hatchbacks came into being, so did the race cars begin to take shape with the era.
>the whole time you've been talking about how cars and society have been getting more degenerate
Conservative, as in purposely low, for the sake of caution. When salaries don't pay up for the pump, you've got to start thinking about a smaller car, and a smaller family.
>if you are 25 with a wife and three kids, go camping on the weekends and do road trips every summer, it makes perfect sense to drive a station wagon
Exactly. You should be driving your loner from the start of your time on the road to the beginning of your family, which is earlier than you think. Inheritance basically ensures that your old car won't go unloved, since eventually one of your offspring will mature to use it, in your place. The hatchback of course being of no relation to the station wagon, at this point, which is what I had addressed, to begin with.
>you know how the original Beetle was the official do-it-all car of Nazi Germany
>you know how it only had two doors
>you know how a family put their three kids in the back and went on trips
Germany was a different kind of country, back then. Its heavily-ingrained and compact culture makes for entirely different needs, when concerning transportation. A world comprised of small towns, and industrial parks, with little room between makes the station wagon wholly unnecessary, in such a homogenised realm.
>having kids is stupid if you know you can't afford it
That mostly comes down to idiots no longer having so many safety nets, when concerning things like credit scams, and general usury. Thus, the regular peasant who does not know so much makes for an economic trend. That, with the concurrent emissions standards and oil crisis spelled a deep change in the way people move about.
>multiple kinds of car are useful for the same purposes
