I tend to agree with you. I have loved Lexus for many years and the 90's cars while much more basic and simple really appeal because they have a presence that is understated, yet classy. It really just looks like a longer Toyota Avalon, and the redesigned interior with the big touchscreen sticking up over the dash in…

I think it looks too much like all the other Lexes-us?/Lexi?/Lexus’s?/Lexuses? with the grill and the tail lights. The brand has become too diluted with so many similar looking (for the non car person) grills and tail lights and even side shape. I think they need a name change and a design tweak similar to what…

Even though you’re objectively correct, 20 year olds who didn’t exist yet when the Mk4 was on sale (and have certainly never driven one) will be quick to tell you that it was the best sports car ever and had 5000 horsepower and was the fastest car to ever exist. 

For me the new Supra feels too much like a pure “sports car” (maybe because its based on a roadster) and not so much like the last gen where it was more like a large (for the time) GT/Grand Touring car. It is like they tried to make the new Supra into a pure sports car when the last two previous gens were more like…

Yes I am also getting some Nissan Leaf vibes from it as well. Maybe that area bellow the C pillar and the sides a bit?

It looks like a rounded off Leaf.

It doesn’t call to me. I guess it is practical. I am sure it is fine.

I guess I just want it to be interesting and it isn’t 

I owned a previous generation Impulse, loved that car and was plain weird in all the right ways. I quite like the generation here and agree they were pretty cool. I always liked the partial covered over old school round sealed beam halogens. The main issue over the long haul was build quality (still better than GM…

Forgot to mention it also had its suspension tuned by Lotus.

90's Isuzu Impulse AWD Turbo. Even when new most people didnt know this car existed, yet for the 90s it was a AWD Turbo with 160HP, comparable to the Preludes and Integras at the time but with AWD.

I get what you mean. If 100 miles was all they could squeeze out of this thing, then they should’ve started with the PHEV. I’m in the camp that thinks that 250 miles of range is TOO MUCH for many people who buy BEVs. Yes it’s nice from a peace of mind perspective, but from a macro battery allocation perspective that’s…

You didn’t offend him, he’s just douching for stars.

Sorry if I offended you RustyBolts, from your comment I understand that I was stating the obvious to you? I did not mean to offend you with it as that was not my intention. I was just trying to say that for me the range is the only issue. My thinking was that others may not like/take issue with it for the looks or the…

I tend to like quirky cars so I like the way this looks. The price isnt as expensive as a Tesla and to me I would rather have this over a Leaf, Bolt or Mini. The only thing that ruins it for me is the range. Mazda CLAIMS that it is because most people dont drive that far, however I think thats more of a excuse. If it…

Honda S2000. Not saying its a bad car but I think WAY over hyped. Sure you get lots of power out of a 4 banger and props to Honda for that but to get ANY type of useful power out of it you need to get close to red line. If you daily it the novelty wears off quickly, especially in traffic.

We need the planes from the 5th Element. Everyone just gets knocked unconscious for the flight.

Sometimes you get shamed directly and a lot indirectly. Mostly from haters or those that are flat out jealous. For example I saw a guy at a car meet with an automatic miata and a group of teenagers passing by said “nice automatic” to him in a condescending way. Mostly its behind their back like “Ya he has a XXXXX car…

Whose shaming anyone for driving an automatic? I don’t think I’ve actually every read a post on here where someone has been seriously shamed for not choosing the stick version of a car. Maybe I’m missing something.

If a car has one gear it’s always in (even when it’s reversing or stopped) is it even considered an automatic?

I like to go back a few years or imagine I’m a generation older than them. What do you mean your car has an electric starter, you should hand crank you car, it helps you know if the engine’s spinning properly. What do you mean automated advance / retard? It belongs on the steering wheel. Hand brake - should be outside…

Hot Take: Its 2021 why are people even still embarrassed or shaming others for driving automatics? Look at the world we live in, an electric AUTOMATIC car can go 350+ miles and can beat most gas powered cars in a drag race, yet we are shaming those who prefer automatics? I mean think about it we are living in the…
