Exactly! And we need those people around so that I can buy their barely used vehicle a year later! They get a better price than a dealer would offer them, and I avoid instantly losing 25% on my investment. Win win for everyone. 

I agree, different circumstances will always arise, you just have to be able to adapt the best solution. 

That’s what I’m thinking as well. I hope they announce the STi Subaru version sooner than later. 

Look, the heart of the issue here is that I have my way of doing things and you have yours. Your examples in favor of leasing / buying are seated in laziness / lack of knowledge. Again, there’s not anything inherently wrong with that; we have our areas of expertise and desires, and most people just don’t want to deal…

Obviously you didn’t read my whole post. "Someone has to buy new so that I can buy it used a year later!"

Buying used doesn’t have to mean buying used. Like I said several times, buying a year old car or less, is basically new, and it is easy to tell by just talking with and reading the seller how well they treated it.…

You can read my other responses to commenters about this for more explanation. 

No hand waiving, just giving my opinion.

^Uh, I mean BRZ. Dash-fail. 

You make some great points. By the way, like I told a commenter above you, great choice on one of the twins. I’m looking to get a BRZ to dedicate to the track here pretty soon. 

Anyway, I do completely understand your desire to buy new, and it makes sense. Personally, I would do the extra work to find one less than a…

I don’t have any problem with this at all. There are always exceptions to the rule. While I would certainly look a little harder to find something a year old or less that can be proven not to have been abused, I completely understand you wanting to buy one new.

I’m glad you’re looking at a BR-Z, I am strongly…

I said that twice… But hey thanks for letting me know!

"Depends on the car, depends on the situation."

Holy nutsack, Mr. Peanut, that was terrible. 

"If Mr. Peanut is gunna be up here duwing the Macy’s Day Parade, I needa check it out and make suwe the view is perfect. Yeah, thislookpreddygood."

Honestly, I can’t fathom purchasing a new car from a dealer, so whenever I see articles like this about how great the price of a new car is, I can’t take it seriously. Whether or not I’d actually want that car is irrelevant - for the record, I definitely have no desire to drive a Fiesta.

Anyway, there are two reasons I…

Definitely one of my all-time favorite race cars, ever. That Martini livery… oh goodness, so sexy.

Sorry sir, but I believe it is you who does not understand what you just read. 

I don’t doubt it. Since Fiat’s involvement Chrysler has really been bringing their A game. The new Ram trucks are fantastic, the Cherokee is pretty sweet - notably the SRT - the Dart is alright, I guess.. if you’re into that kind of thing. 

I fully believe they took that input seriously in the development of this new…

Completely agree, on all points. Jalopnik, I’m afraid, is lost. 

Thank you. I couldn’t have said it better. I cannot believe some of the comments I’m reading on here that are so blindly in favor of this ridiculous and extremely damaging measure. 

Yeah, simply because of my username I am going to be called a lot of bad names for this. But I don’t care, because you are all insane. 

Now, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? We need to "pay for our addiction?"
