nah but some motorcycles are. Carbs are no longer used because of the cleanliness of EFI and poerformance gains; less pollution, higher gas milage, more power, why would anyone still make a carbed car? The Honda engineers tried to get the carbed cars as clean as the EFI ones and if you've ever seen a carbed 3rd gen you know what a mess it is, it would be almost impossible to get the emmissions of todays ULEV EFI cars from any carbed car.

Geez I think even some of the new John Deere lawn tractors (and maybe some others too) are fuel injected. I could be thinking of something else, but I think that's what it was. I know the new Honda AquaTrax waverunner is fuel injected (and it's turbo'd, and has more HP than our 3geez)

i don't know why any one would still make a carbed car. i thought they were all POS's as your name implies.Originally posted by POS carb

Lawnmowers still have carbs.
I think carbs pretty much disappeard by 1990 on production cars in the us. It was cheaper for the manufactures to go fi then add enough emissions controls to a carb to meet emissions standards. They still make carbs, holly and weber are still around to mention a few, they just don't sell them with cars.

ive seen some 4th gen carbed accords...
The following companies still make carbed engines:
Volkswagen
General Motors
Can you guess the model?
Hint: answers to Volkswagen and GM are trick answers.

how GHETTOOOO! I would not buy a new car that is carbed!!! nascar cars are carbed
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but YEAH carbs are still sold with new cars, just not in the United States.
The Hindustan Ambassador (an Indian car) for example is a badge engineered Morris Oxford, a car that was introduced in 1948!! Drum brakes all around, manual steering, and a carbed pushrod 1.8l four banger which I believe is slightly newer than the original design dating back to the MGB in 1962.
Where?? Even DX'x were FI. Civics maybe...Originally posted by mike89lxi

No, all Civics 89 and up were FI to my knowledge.
Good bye to the 1989 DX Type R. Hello 2001 LX.

BTW. The answer to my question regarding Volkswagen and Chevrolet still making carbed engines.
Volkswagen
You can buy a brand new original Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico with carbs.
Mercruiser Marine uses GM engine blocks to make their V8 boats (which can still be bought with a marine version of the quadrajet carb.) It's not really a GM but oh well.
Do you mean with the new body style or old?
Carl
The original Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle is still built in Mexico....
