if you want a mazda2 you can just buy a scion/yaris iA. they were sold here through 2020. no hatchback though. i liked mine until it was utterly destroyed by a truck. i climbed out through the rear passenger side and pretty much walked away from it.

yeah. and the thing to be said is “flat blade screwdriver.”

Who are you? Where you going?

.

i’m not the OP but the 2 crits i always hear about the 350/370Z is that it’s a little bloated and it’s gotten stale. the new z doesn’t address these things directly. if the Z is a pig, adding 100 pounds and 70hp is lipstick. if it’s a dated design, re-skinning it and dropping in a repurposed engine and transmission rei…

I suspect all this talk from the Nissan “product planner” stressing driving experience over performance numbers is specifically driven by the Mustang GT’s existence. it has about 50 more hp and in theory can be had for about $10k less. it’s case that every other manufacturer has to make to sell their sport coupes.

they look a LOT better in person than in any photo i’ve seen. i think it’s because the car is smaller than it looks in media. for some people that just means ugly instead of very ugly. for me it looks better, but more expensive than it should be.

yah, which one of these retro 70s circle jerk vehicles is going to be the PT Cruiser of the 20s?

Good Job, Nissan. Of course, it helped that every other available new car in the United States has basically been sold out for a year. Also advanced child tax credit payments, extended and increased unemployment insurance payments, tax rebates, a student loan payment freeze, and an eviction freeze put a lot more cash…

as long as it didn’t run out of gas it could pace one lap just fine.

If you said this car was called the Panini and the only used Porsche that can still be found for under $20k, I would have believed you. 

It wasn’t bad looking, but at the time the US was having an economic meltdown second only to the great depression.

yah at that time people in the US were a lot more worried about becoming homeless than buying cars assembled in Korea.

You’re doing The Lord’s Work. I didn’t even believe you at first. 

omg the hype. i’m still impressed with the self-balancing ability but outside of maybe helping people with tremors or something, the tech has made zero impact on humanity.

i dunno if it’s really Nice but it’s not bad.

i vote NP, because i support a company that is insane enough to set out to eat Aston Martin’s lunch. that’s no way to make money.

also, I think convertible GTs should just go ahead and do folding hardtops. cloth tops don’t look good when they are up, and the added weight…

all 400 of the people that knew what an International Scout was would shit their pants at once, causing a barely detectible ripple in The Force.

yah but fuck them, there are only like 15 hardcore offroaders and 6 of them never buy new. vw is trying to make money. poser offroad vehicles make MONEY.

plus the buzz has a nose. nobody wants a buzz with a nose on it. 

that’s fucking cool. you’re fucking cool.
