Upon further review the 2nd pic they gave is slightly better, but even as a wagon fan think the sedan is just so perfect in back.

Gonna maybe stir something up here, (let me preference this with I’m a wagon lover). This, although pretty, sort of looks like the sleakest fastest looking hearse ever.

Bumper 2 Bumper warranties are the best.

Actually a 350/370Z, g35/37 is probably around 10k, however with the easy turbo mods you can do on the 135 that pushed it ahead.

You can pick up nice examples of these for around 10k, which makes it even less of a no brainer. Show me something with more power (and power potential, AND also that handling for that price. All the 135 ones have the M suspension which make it a beast.

Has echoes of Mazda’s future design language in there and that’s not a awful thing.

Ok that.things is pretty sexy- like a Giulia, Jag, Audi (and Maserati as someone said) hybrid. If it drives as well as it look and is lriced ok- dang. Can’t wait to review one this summer!

Woah, ABS would help things.. But a bit of traction/limited stability control wouldn’t hurt. Not sure if it had a locking rear/split diff either.

This seems somewhat solid- if I had 16k, and thought I could handle the beast that is an older Viper, I would go for it.

haha touche.

he is a Aston man now.

Only if it used to belong to Jon Voight.

The newer ones with independent rear suspension aren’t bad!

Ah I just see his car of choice was a Nissan Versa. This all makes more sense.

I don’t even know him and I want to punch him in the face (and I’m not normally a violent man)

Wow. This may we’ll be the perfect performance car! Although anyone who has lived with the WRX STI know if it’s that bad as a daily?

I was going to make a similar point. It is a supply thing, and the supply of this car is very limited, and only getting rarer. Certain cars- that are rising, are solid investments (like art in a way). I thought if anyone got that, Jalopnik would.

Again I do think in some pure sports cars a pure mechanical system makes sense and you are seeing a more mechanical system in the M4GTS for example.

I agree with the premise, let’s not take away handling, for efficiency! Amen, but the only pure mechanical steering car I know today is the Alfa 4C. Hybrid systems, mechanical rack and pinion with power assist give you incredible feel, yet near electric efficiency benefits. Cars are continuing to get lighter, it’s…

Interesting, as I had a Bmw with winter ties up North East (way less power than a GTO- was a 328) & the traction control blipped under even moderate throttle.   My Jetta with a 2.5 & regular all seasons DWS was quicker and more predictable. Of course I hated FWD in the dry. I’m not saying it can’t be driven, but any…
