A: either it is a nice car with a bit too dear a price...

86 should be better than it is. Supra should either be FAR better, or markedly less expedition.

Which is it, do you want pure handling, or do you want practicality?

There are many turbo vehicles anymore, but that doesn’t guarantee that they are sporty. Some are sporty, some are merely a V6 alternative.

STI, Civic Type R, Golf R, Kia Stinger, and Veloster have more than two side doors.

The fact that I forgot about it... is comment enough.

We can get a limo. My treat. A nice stretch job with a TV and a bar...

Even if I take your premise on the BRZ model, they don’t offer anything else, either... and Subaru performance isn’t known for being a Lotus alternative... it *WAS* known for AWD Turbocharged high-value, high-traction speed and rallying.

There are many that costs 80K and up... Jeep Trackhawk/SRT, Range Rover Sport, and other 6-figure things... BMW slapping M-badges on anything with an X-prefix... Jaguar and AMG following suit...

I think everyone may have forgotten that the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio exists. Or where to get one, or how much it costs to buy, or repair.

Yup, a shortened, 3-door, simplified version of the RS5.

Where do I begin...

Useless rich toy of the week... or are they coming out every day now?

Typing faster than thinking. Yes. Telelever front control arm. Of course Paralever and Paralever Evo are referring to the parallelogram-type, anti-torque-jacking rear suspension.

I bought a manual Subaru Legacy years ago... and it got canned almost a decade ago.

I didn’t even think SLK had a manual in the US as recently as 2015...

I stand corrected. I was thinking that the 2010-12 Camhead boxers (similar to the ‘09 and earlier OHV Hex-head 1200) were labeled 1250 even before the conversion to the water-cooled engines... You are right, they are labeled 1200. The later 1250s are the water-cooled engines.

A BMW R1250R hex-head (pre-watercooled) converted to Duolever/Hossack front suspension from the K-series, and clothed in sleek R1100S bodywork including the underseat exhaust with Ducati 1098 silencers (some have a shape resembling the hex-head BMW engine valve covers), and updated with a R1250GS LED headlight, and…

Sure, and I actually miss Mercury. If they had build the MC4 concept as a Mustang alternative, and some other mainstream compelling cars that weren’t just mundane versions of cars that Ford and Lincoln were also selling, they might still be around...

No such thing as a cheap porsche.
