Don’t know what to tell you, man. That “kink” is one of the signature lines on the car. This machine will always make my jaw drop. So pretty.

FCA can merge with TATA. FACATAT! Say it out loud...

Needs moar turbo.

I generally just donate all my time and money to whatever person knocks on my front door loudest. I LOVE SOLICITORS. AND TAXES.

And they squeak if not properly lubed. Many people omit the lubing and end up with squeaky cars. I was one of those people.

Tesra Dorifuto!

Yeah, like Jamie Foxx. Sexxy.

Holy Shit A-Pillar! What’s in there, TVs?

Party bus. Because afterwards.

Came here for this. Yes...it’s so disappointing that MB has just validated the Lexus design. I guess that’s the circle of life, since Lexus started out blatantly copying MB. Too bad they didn’t pick the good stuff to copy this time...

No. Because I couldn’t ever be seen driving it anywhere...except *maybe* the track. As a mid-30s person, I would be seen as a complete joke. The GTI and Focus ST do not carry this stigma. This stupid thing is something purely for the 18-22 crowd.

You’re speaking my language over here. Nice. I get that “balance” is a good thing. I’ve driven a Miata and it was every bit as good as people say. But when you are thrashing around in a turbocharged car and the boost comes on and shoves you in your seat, it’s just a BLAST. It’s not the same. It makes you grin from ear…

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I suppose I really should drive a BRZ before speculating. I just read about “flat power delivery” and “meager acceleration” and I lose all excitement. Either way, I need real rear seats anyway, so it’s not likely the car for me.

How about EcoBoost V6 instead? Mmmmm...tasty.

I really want to love the BRZ. But I know that driving it would be just like driving my old S13 240SX *before* the SR20DET swap. It was a great car, but there just wasn’t any real power. You’d mash the gas, and it just didn’t whip a smile on your face. After the motor swap, I fell in love. I KNOW the BRZ would sell…

Current GTI shifter ball design?

This is basically a BMW Isetta, no?

Gotta bend that shit back straight... That little vent thing is so memorable on these Volvos. Ahhh....the 80s....

It’s never been a good ass. It’s ALL ass. The back is just HUUUUGE.

Oof. Dat ass. Not a good look. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.
