It would be silly to use anything else than the 100% new OEM bodies being churned out right now. Except maybe the Ring Brothers' carbon bodies. And both of those 'feature' the very poor panel gaps of 1960s design.

I read that as Miata with a Miura body. Someone in Japan's already done that...

At the *very* minimum, San Pellegrino 250ml glass bottles.

Important enough to merit two of your replies?

Mate, do you know what's happening to the Plus 8? I thought that (even more classically-styled car) was supposed replace the Aero 8.

I like the new R8 and I like this.

That V10, the AMG 6.2 V8, the Bentley V8, the Aston V12... Lots of good noises in GT3.

Yup, them and some Russians(?), if I remember CBC correctly.

Magna Styer is Austria's engineering powerhouse that's been busy building, among other things, the G-Wagen for Mercedes-Benz since 1979. Their latest concept is the MILA Plus hybrid sports car that's fast, green, and easier to produce than the BMW i8. So, let's make it happen people!

I prefer gently facelifting a beautiful car like the R8 rather than mangling the design just for the sake of something new (see: 458 -> 488).

My father was intrigued by the ATS Coupe until we both struggled with its CUE infotainment system at a recent auto show. He's also coming from a software/tech background, to give some perspective on our disappointment. Instant deal-breaker.

How are you going to rectify what is by far the worst feature on an otherwise…

Looks doable. Apologies for the potato shot. Hard to imagine this lives in Toronto.

Here in Canada Mazda's rust worse than literally any other. As a result you end up seeing a lot more old BMW's on the road.

I still want an ND MX-5 within the next couple of years - just need to keep that sucker garaged!

Yeah, this is the more interesting car for sure.

As an British, slightly underpowered take on the Ford GT, I'd swoon.

That is some really beautiful surfacing along the doors and fenders. Fantastic.

I thought I read it but the Google isn't helping.

100% chance.

I really like this pitch.

I feel like FDs, just by nature of being impossible to maintain, will continue to have a cult like the Triumph Stag and other mechanical lemons.

Based on? They're cheap to run, some have well designed engines, and the largest aftermarket/ OEM parts inventory of any 'fun' car.
