I couldn't help but laugh at the new Daewoo Lanos commercials, where they show the car driving up a dam, **boasting** of its 106 ft/lbs of torque. I guess 106 in the torque department is something I think they should **admit to** rather than brag about......

Keep an eye peeled for that commercial.... its really funny.

On a more serious note: are there <b>any</b> major current production cars with less torque than that?

LOL

Kia Rio's clocking in at 96 hp/98 torque... Lowest I've found so far..... I can't seem to find these stats in C&D or R&T for some reason .... Prizm's are now clocking in at 125/125..........

Anything lower?

i think the 3-liter metro's are lower, dunno how much
pimp ride right there

 

[Ebaines]

Do they still make those?

With its 1.6 litre engine it dominates the road. And with its 106 ft/lb of torque it conquers heights...

I was going to post re: this commercial earlier but you beat me to it. Those crazy Koreans sure are some dissollusioned people.....those are some great numbers

No chevy bought Geo.

 

[Ebaines]

Yeah, but Chevy kept on making the Prizm, so I wanted to be sure

It still busts me up laughing

Hehe, yes i saw this commercial a few weeks ago. I too wanted to post that, it is pathetic but funny. Especially when they say its 1.6 liter engine dominates the road and they show a picture of it pulling away from a group of motorcycles. LOL. And i think the kia rio has the lowest horsepower of any car being made, atleast that i know of.

Korean's may be shitty auto manufacturers but the women are great in bed. Talk about going the extra mile.

Actually, Geo was the name that Chevy used for their re-badged imports. Chevy did not buy Geo, they just dropped the name.

Geo Metro = Suzuki Swift
Geo Prism = Toyota Corolla
Geo Tracker = Suzuki Sidekick

Where did that just come from. LOL..but nonetheless I must try it with a Korean one day and post it on the board. HEHE.

But back to the topic at hand..as I was reading a couple of months ago or so the Geo Prizm or either the Geo Metro was officially the slowest car to do a 0-60 run fully stock. LOL
