The Ecoboost is almost 6 grand more than the V6, and the V6 still returns decent (relatively) gas mileage. Not to mention the GT starts with only a 3 grand gap from the EB. Now that I think about it, I am wondering if people will buy the Ecoboost like Ford is expecting. I mean us Jalops will, because we understand the…

No problem. We gotta stick together. I got your back.

HAIL HYDRA!

That white/cream interior is awesome looking. also,....come oonnnnnnnn Mazdaspeed2

I think it would work better with the Focus ST engine. A TT V6 would be bonkers, but kinda ruins the "affordable, quality, dependable, minitruck" I'm going for here.

I have a soft spot for Mini-trucks and small pick ups.

Yes, yes, yes....but what does it LOOK LIKE?!?!?!?!?!

The Third Gen Type-S still goes for 20 grand in good condition up here. You are right, it is perfect, and it's a damn shame the next gen was so ugly because it did ALOT of things right.

Quite literally, all they had to do was make an "Si" version of it with the K20 in it. It would have been quick, fun, and STILL fuel efficient. It would have sold like Donuts at a Jenny Craig meeting.

Here's the thing: I think these were just Ugly, not necessarily bad. The TL 3.7 SH-AWD is excellent, it just looks like Howard the Duck. If looks would kill, we would have to put this thing away like Ted Bundy.

We were THIS close to having a real life Batmobile.....THIS close.

I'm with you, Crest. If this was built by anyone else, it would be a best seller. I think these things are great, as I'm sure we will see when they are discontinued or (more likely) moved upmarket and the old ones make it to your local drift/autocross course.

The Solstice/Sky GM twins. Small Roadsters with an available Turbo 4. These things could have given the Miata and S2k a run for their money, IF it had not been for their untimely premiere near the Auto-pocalypse, the interiors were classic GM/Fisher Price bad, and they had No, I'll repeat, NO trunk space.

Seriously, I really like this, although I'm not a huge fan of "Entry Level Luxury CUV/Tall Wagons".

That's what I've been saying. An A3 that feels at least premium is almost as much as an A4. If you are getting it on lease anyway, why not just get the A4?

It's also not a very good buy for a new car. Branding is such bullshit sometimes

Lexus LS

I kind of agree, a little. Part of the appeal to me is the fact that dudes bust your ass about your "girl" car...until they sit in the passenger seat or drive one and then they are all "Oh...that was...kinda fun..I think I get it now."

So...911 or that? hmmmmm....yea...I'mma take dat!
