That’s a straw man argument, but I’m not sure you know it, so I’ll explain:

If you think that this:

Right, I know. But I just couldn’t bring myself to pay tens of thousands of dollars for something that might make me wince whenever I look at it. If you don’t sometimes turn around and admire your own car as you walk away, you’re doing it wrong imo. But to each their own.

I’d love a Mustang GT with AWD

Hi, that’s me (40yr old with kids).. at least near enough. This thing is fucking ugly. Yes it’s not powerful enough. Not much more is needed.. probably another 50-60 hp.. but more is definitely needed. But even if the power was right.. I couldn’t bring myself to buy this ugly hunk of fake vented plastic.

Samesies. I’m in the market for a new fun car and was waiting for this reveal.. at least I can (break my pencil in half with the pressure while I vehemently) strike this one from the list.

I wondered who the contrarian was going to be and didn’t think it’d be you

Right there with you on all points. I’m on the verge of buying a new car as well, and I’ve been holding off for the WRX reveal. I was hoping for a weight-to-power ratio between 9-11 and some new good looks.  Yeesh.

Wow good points.  It’s really striking when you list it out like that.  I really liked the bugeye back then, but couldn’t afford anything but a 10 year old Accord.  Now I can afford a new WRX... but I hate everything since the bugeye, including this vented, plasticized garbage.  Guess I’ll buy a Mustang...

The only WRX I like the look of is the bugeye lol. I guess sign me up for the “almost nobody” group.

If this ugly thing was a hatch, you’d buy one new?  I wouldn’t.

The question is, why isn’t this bridge under constant 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week video surveillance? I would love to be enjoying watching those new cars get smashed up in a decent video right now.

Ok. But find me an E38 7-series with a well done LS and Tremec swap.

I feel like you didn’t read the stated requirements? Lots and lots of storage room and doesn’t need to be sporty as they’re gonna get another car for sporty stuff. The Blackwings are cool for sure... but they’re not what this guy asked for.

The Yukon Denali is the Escalade without the chrome lipstick.  Best pick.

Underappreciated Raider fan comment

What is the difference between “highly” illegal and just plain illegal? 

Name checks out.

The get-off-my-lawn tone of your comment made me smile :D

I’m American and yeah it makes no goddamn sense and is entirely an abuse of power
