And this kind of behavior is precisely why Hyundai and Kia will have a hard time dethroning other carmakers as a credible alternative to the Toyonza mainstream trio.

I assume it’s a line of journalists taking turns to ask questions?

Agree with both of you. I like the original design quite a bit.

Same. I’ve seen complaints about it and I get it, but to me, the new Z’s grill is very distinct looking and a move in the right direction in terms of bucking boring car design trends.

I prefer the other...

Except its absolutely NOT as effective as a real fucking cloth mask. You goddamn imbecile.

Thank you. I think some people try way too hard to find a reason to be upset. Bunch of keyboard warriors with opinions forged by nothing other than a picture and a few high level specs. It’s been what, 20 years since the Integra existed? Do people expect nothing to change with regards to technology, market conditions…

Well put.  The best part is, if they eventually make a Type R version of the new Integra, we’ll all get to be performatively outraged all over again when they reveal it!

Let me address the common complaints, one by one.

Yes, Coachella isn’t a vital service and if you don’t want to be safe just fucking miss it.

Fuck outta here with that nonsense.

You want to be in the presence of a large number of other humans? There are certain precautions you get to take, including vaccinating against virulent diseases.

We’re being bombarded by a maelstrom of chemicals just about every moment of every day. The vaccine at least has been tested out the wazoo unlike about all the other stuff in the environment which has been to varying degrees ... less so.

Don’t want to get vaccinated, don’t go. Simple.

This is the 2021 version of replying “First” to an article.

More people off road their jeeps ( yes I know this is about broncos but similar enough) than sports car owners track day their cars yet there is so much hate just aimed in just one direction.

An asshole, yes, but not the only, or the first in the situation, and also not an asshole to everybody else on the road, just an asshole to one other asshole. I feel that is an important distinction.

Not every brand can be Subaru so if this is what it takes to get the other half of the population into more efficient cars I’m fine with it

I think a lot of individuals in the United States are going to be very disappointed. R34 GT-R prices won’t come down. There’s a lot of factors at play but two of the biggest will be (1) there’s a lot of nostalgia with the R34 and (2) this is the final chance to get into a GT-R prior to Nissan moving the Skyline over…

Has a video game ever influenced an entire market the same way Gran Turismo has? I could say that perhaps Initial D (and the related TV show) inflated the values of late 80s AE86 chassis cars... but Gran Turismo has turned an entire fleet of Japanese cars into unobtainium.

I guess if anything will ever convince me of the reliability of downsized turbo engines in large, heavy vehicles, Toyota trusting the LC’s reputation to one would be it.
