I want a car that will cause oooohs and aaaaahs when I go down the street. I want it to have a good engine so i can upgrade it to have a lot of hp. Room for my dad and my 2 brothers.

Steve Wozniak has some insight on the Toyota Recall fix, BMW spills some news on the next generation M3 Competition Package, and McLaren MP4-12C GTR renderings by jonsibal.com. Hosted by Derek DeAngelis.

Which is better? Which has more horsepower? Which one is better to customize? Please include specs if possible. Oh, and please don’t put answers like, why don’t you get a _____ instead. Thanks in advance.

I know the Lotus Elise has a 1.8 L engine made by Toyota. Is it the same as a Toyota Corolla?

I was wondering about Lotus,since I know that they have been using Toyota and Mercedes Benz engines in their vehicles. I just want to know if they need get permission and pay Toyota/Mercedes Benz or not for the use of their engines,do they?
Why does Lotus just design their own engines for every car that they built or is it to save money?
