Yep. It’s called the horshoe theory, where the far right and far left end up resembling each other.

That’s all fine. I mean, I compromised by getting a 135i, since the Cayman only held two people, and my son is going to be growing out of 911 backseats soon. Do I think my 135i is as great and fun to drive as my Porsches? No way. That’s the only point I’m trying to make. David shouldn’t have to apologize for…
Yes, but the same could be said for SUVs, with their easier to enter ride height and even more storage capacity.
I have one child, live in a house, and, since having my 7 year old son, my last three cars were a 911, Cayman and 135i, which I’ve taken camping, snowboarding, you name it. You apparently have too much stuff. Now, my partner does have a mom-mobile, but, she is a mom and doesn’t care about cars, so it checks out.
Why would I choose that over a coupe? Does everyone shop at Costco around here or something??
I’m just here to bring the coolness to Jalopnik and save the coupe, which is disappearing. Wagons are the pre-minivans are the pre-SUVs are the pre-CUVs, and I’m already seeing many readers around here open to “sporty” CUVs with auto transmissions, which is a shame
Nope. I like a trunk without windows that locks.
Whether it’s camera equipment, music gear, or even golf clubs, I prefer the function of a locking, hidden trunk.
Eh, not really. I’d say the 300ZX, RX7 and NSX were all better looking cars. 3000GT vs. Supra is a toss up.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d take a wagon over something like an SUV, but despite being a daily Jalopnik reader for over a decade, I’m just not that interested in wagons, either in form or function.
The Sup-bro has spoken.
That’s a terrible take that nearly no one objectively agrees with.
Hot take from long time Jalopnik reader: coupe>wagon in nearly every case.
Yeah, the answer is E46 and E82 all day. They’re even somewhat reliable, at least for a German car.
Maybe my memory is failing me. I remember the 300ZX winning comparisons when it came out (especially vs. the Corvette,) but I thought that, once the FD RX7 and Supra IV came out 2-3 years later, it was more of a mixed bag depending on the magazine.
I would say that feel, like a good manual, steering rack, etc., but apparently we’re too far past that point to return. The bottom line is that we’re on a crash course towards super fast, super clinical electric cars, so I’m just keeping what I have, as long as gas is attainable.
Surely, although it’s more about finding the right combination of power, weight, grip and chassis. In talking about newer BMWs, something like a 135i/1M is more fun than others, because it has enough power to break grip and its chassis isn’t quite up for the power, so it gets a little squirrelly. Same with the…
