So excited for this car. As Baruth pointed out, this is a car that flies in the face of so much that is wrong with the sports car segment. This is a reasonably priced, good looking, and ultimately useable sports car because Mazda has not turned it into a bloated, overpowered, or turbocharged caricature of what the…

Ha, those are lovely.

Wait, you mean you don't want to drive a lifted piece of farming equipment? What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you hate America?

God these things are cool. To me, they are the manual 159 wagon of the aircraft world. Practical when they work, and an absolute nightmare when they do not.

Nice! I love the new American spec Prelude! God bless park assist!

Also, a WRC+ viewing app. NBC coverage is shite.

Silly F1, innovation is for WEC!

Lexus drivers give zero fucks about a number of attributes. Sigh. Aesthetics are one of those attributes.

Fat & Ugly. Yet I see these things with alarming regularity.

A few years ago, I would have felt bad about an M3 being mistreated in such a manner. Now, post model bloat, flame surface styling, absurd level of nannies, and idiotic nomenclature has meant I cannot find any fucks to give.

“Herp derp, I will show these dang kids what real Murican muscle can really do, her derp who needs corners, her derp, Powaaaaaa, her derp, dangnabbit, my axle is gone!”

Exactly. I love European exotics but let’s be honest, their visibility is not one of their selling points. Good write up as always, Patrick.

Yeah I respect that decision. I certainly count myself as part of the tifosi but I have to admit I prefer Ferrari’s earlier models. For me, a blue 308 GTB is as good as it gets.

Lightweight ? Check. NA? Check. Manual? Check. Who would have that a retired chap with great passion for a cool hobby was capable of making such a wonderful piece of automotive nirvana. Well done ! No wonder Murray prefers an SCG 003 over those “hybrid monsters”.

Christ. In the “land of the free”, Mr. Koala would be locked up for such audacity.

Looking forward to it. BTW, despite all the “Honda kids” and their “big exhaust jokes”, the old Civic is a remarkably adaptable platform. I am not surprised that this little screamer has enjoyed some success. Sticky tires, excellent brakes, and a relatively lightweight platform are superior to sport chronometer…

Grammar nazi? Nah, just a chap who reads comments carefully. No worries mate. Enjoy your coffee.

Um no. I am a car guy just like you! The styling is sleek and I betcha that baby is grounded as fuck.

Good point. All the more reason we should ban it.

What?! This is not funny at all. This is just reckless. My goodness, if that is not a self driving car then what are you suggesting? You mean to tell me someone is inside of that cockpit making rational judgments about where and when to turn, accelerate, and overtake? What are you a barbarian?! This type of behavior…
