JF1GG29 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Good choice, but is it offered in a manual? I'm hoping ford would put RS technology in a larger, more luxurious vehicle. Also, like the Chevy SS Let's face it, if the Levorg does come over, it's probably not going to be packing a manual transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferdude1087 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Getting a manual is super tough, esp in the 30s as a sedan/5 door AND awd.

Think it has a 2.0DIT engine too EDIT: nm its AT only Someone at my office recently picked up a Regal GS (or it's someone who just moved over from the other plant), not sure who, though. That was one of the cars I came across when I was looking at LGT reviews before I bought mine, seems like they're pretty closely matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk The review I saw said the Regal had a bit of an edge in the straights, and that the LGT made up for it in the twisties. Stock for stock they might be close, but anything past that, I kinda doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 4 or 5 people from here, IIRC. Nice to sit in. Lots of room. If I didn't have some track aspirations, I'd probably already have one. As it is, it's still on the list. But pretty far behind STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad that cars are heading to fewer cylinders. They should have created a 3.0L Inline 6 SkyActiv to fit into the new Mazda. Called it the Mazda 6 Miata or something. Output would maybe be like 215HP and 230TQ but in a light car. And still get like 35MPG avg. Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
