A sincere tip of the hat to whomever is letting the engineering team run wild at Hyundai, some of the most exciting new platforms to come out in years! I wish other brands would take notice

“...are not afraid to modify their cars to get what they want or make it work better look constipated and/or cosplay like they go offroad”

Y’all, the parsh 944 is like, right in this price range.

come on CP’rs, have you priced out any kind of Cobra replica ever? This thing is about as close to giveaway as you’d ever want. Oh I see, it’s not an “authentic” copy of an AC copy?

ME: “I’m just going to pop over to Jalopnik and read the headlines, then get some work done.”

Plus, it’s a Rolls-Royce! Of course it’s going to be comfortable for you and your family—this isn’t some finicky shitbox, this is a hand-built marvel of craftsmanship shitbox.

Used CLA. Can likely even get a 45 AMG model for that price.

This is an easy one. Get yourself a used Caterham. If I owned a private jet I’d want my pilot to drive a Caterham. In fact if I owned a private jet I’d buy my pilot a Caterham.

Americans, in general, have shown they don’t want that. They want hatchbacks and station wagons that have been lifted several inches and visual ques that suggest it’s capable of going off road (but none of the actual hardware to do so, that would just make it even more expensive and even worse on gas).

WHY? Just Why The Hell would somebody assemble — ain’t going to call it a “build” — this thing.

Now I wanna swap the turbo stuff onto a ‘79 DJ Jeep!

Two doors too many but gahdamn that’s nice.

Not likely. PNW cities only recently started using salt/brine on roads (a study pointing to sand being an excellent conduit for transporting chemicals to estuaries and wetlands hastened the switch). Prior to that, going back 30 years I can recall, it was only sand. As a result, I regularly see early Mazdas, 80's GM…

The 35 is the weak link. The HP30 up front is a great axle, and more than adequate unless you’re going above 35" tires.

Alfa Busso is the best V6. End.

I know I’m going to get flack for this... but none of those really did it for me... If we’re specifically talking “V6s” then EVERYBODY knows Afla makes the best sounding V6... Along with VW and Infiniti/Nissan:

David’s neighbors-

Look at it! $2500!

They should just use Crossovers as rally cars. Mercedes could use the GLA AMG 45, BMW could make an X1M, Audi could use the make an RSQ1, Citroen could make a sporty Cactus, Jeep could make a Renegade Trackhawk, Hyundai Kona N, Toyota HRV GRMN, Ford EcoSport RS. I’m going go hang my self now.

I’m okay with the the move to hybridization, and feel it was an inevitable step. However I absolutely HATE that they’re going to allow tube frame cars and vehicle scaling. One of the special things about rally has always been that the rally cars are built off of factory production shells. There isn’t much left in…
