She ain't purdy, but she'll do. If I was that car and I was parked next to the M3, I would be so depressed and hate myself so much.
Yup. The only real downside I can think of is I can't put donkey piss in it. 91 is required.

Is this a turbo or something? The 91 octane requirement is rather surprising for a jelly bean.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 9:13 amYup. The only real downside I can think of is I can't put donkey piss in it. 91 is required.

It’s like a Lexus thing for some dumb reason. The Land Cruiser needs premium and the 4 runner runs on regular … don’t ask me why. Official explanation states it’s because they are global cars vs US specific cars being tuned for donkey pissD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 8:23 pmIs this a turbo or something?

its a luxo car thing. even the infiniti 'needs' 91 min. 11.2:1 compression. gotta get that HP bump from somewhere for the luxo version. If you buying 70k vehicle you can afford 40 cent more a gallon for fuel.

Yeah. The Lexus gets a turbro 4 popper with 240ish horsepower. Rage 4 gets the N.A. 2.5 liter 4 popper with 200hp.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 8:23 pmIs this a turbo or something? The 91 octane requirement is rather surprising for a jelly bean.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 9:13 am

It’s the most unrefined 4 cylinder I’ve ever experienced. Blows my mind how that engine is now the base option for the NX.
I'd say worth the extra $0.5-1 in that case... I've driven manmy 'yota products with that 2.5, Rages and Cammies mostly... it is underwhelming at best.
