$12k for a manual swap sounds like a hell of a bargain.

I think it will be more like the new 86: Subaru reliability with Toyota-like power.

Great, let’s ruin another historic Toyota nameplate by outsourcing.

So I want to get in the car and test drive it, then painlessly negotiate the sale, and then get the hell out of Dodge.

I didn’t deny that lightly used AMGs can be found for used GT-R prices, I asserted that they were a poor investment due to insane depreciation and ridiculous cost of ownership.

The problem is that if Honda did that, it would be to the S2000 what the CRZ was to the CRX...

And as for 450+ HP AWD for the Money, as an example you can get any number of used E63 AMG for that money.

If and when a new generation is released, you’ll see those values tank.

Top Gear reviewed it against the Z4 and Boxster in the early 2000's and had it faster than both.

The last S2000 went head-to-head with the Boxster, I don’t know that it could compete with just the Civic Type R engine. Also, the total cost of just this version would easily be under $45K, and still have the same complaints -- no torque at low RPMs -- that the original S2000 did.

Watching Toyota “Yes Men” gush over what is essentially a competitors car in drag. Knowing that Toyota could have done it in-house but chose not to. The attitude sent back by Toyota belittling the actual Supra owners and actual would-be future Supra owners on their opinions about what the car should be.

Moved to Colorado for offroading in 2011 with an FJ Cruiser.

It’s almost like they don’t want to sell to informed consumers who do their prep

You don’t need speed when you can follow the crow’s path.

If you rotated drivers between teams, who would Lance Stroll’s dad pay to let him race?  All the teams?

For as slow as a stock CrossTrek is, I can’t even imagine what impact adding armor and larger tires has.  If I only had a dollar for every instance of “bump it!” within 50 feet of one of these...

Also the NISSAN and MAXIMA badging on the trunk is visible in the first picture in the article. Without that I’d have suggested 3rd gen Lexus GS — it has a similar inset trunk / rear window — but the bright badging on the photo clinches it for the Maxima.
