I did this shit when I was 18. These guys look twice as old and just as stupid.

Are we sure this goober’s teeth weren’t missing before the crash? 

He doesn’t want to hear it because that comes from people who don’t buy new cars.

I really don’t understance why guys do this.

My wife and I spent around three weeks in Vietnam, making our way from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi. Did HCM to Hoi An, then to Da Nang, then to Hue, and finally Hanoi. It was an amazing trip. Despite three weeks there, and numerous cities, we feel like we barely scraped the surface, and can’t wait to go back. Amazing people

I mean, when The Olds are the only people who have enough spare change to buy new cars, of course every automaker is going to try to get Your Mom (literally, your mother, I’m not making a Your Mom joke for once) into a new car.

I’m bored to tears with fluffy articles leaping to absurd conclusions, but a window into of automotive mass-production is fascinating. Especially when it’s reverse-engineered from BMW’s own published information - not guesswork and hearsay.

I leased my BRZ new, but my current fun car is a used S2000 so I totally understand what you mean. It also doesn’t help that the kind of car I like (high-revving, analog and raw) is in short supply in the current market...

I have an RX-8. It’s not a first-gen RX-7 by any means, but owning one makes me think it’s incredibly unlikely that we’ll see another rotary sports car from Mazda.

Car enthusiasts don’t understand business.

Same! And I loved Hanoi, so any excuse to return will make it that much easier to go back. 

Jalopnik: Where Journalists are bored of their own reporting!

FWIW, I bet that internet commentators are a significant minority of folks who will end up buying the car. I bet 99% of the general public doesn’t even know it’s launching. So we’re just the frantic frenzied fanbase frothing for facts. F.

This has become the progression for the development of interesting cars. You won’t see this kind of hype for a crossover or wagon, but how often does an iconic car like the Supra appear? (or in this case re-appear) The C8 Corvette is another pefect example as was the Camaro before it.

I’m curious why this is even newsworthy. It’s been a parts bin car. No one has denied this. Toyota made it clear that they took all the parts and did the tuning.

You do have a point. The hype train can wear you out.

It’s the same argument as “people should stop giving Musk and Tesla so much attention!” followed by “you wouldn’t believe what Musk/Tesla did now!”

So stop posting all these stupid details. You did this to yourselves, if you are the type of person who wants to be surprised then stop digging for leaks. Meanwhile those of us who don’t just live for internet surprises still cant wait to drive this and see if it is worth our money.

Mate, you get a star for “silvia crossover”.
