You are correct sir, lol.

Exactly. It's fucking Robert Kubica! I miss seeing him in a Formula car.

Agreed. I test drove an FR-S and a BRZ and I really liked everything about them... except for the power delivery (and maybe the dead travel of the throttle). I anxiously await a faster factory version. Even if the hotted up version goes into the realm of $30-35k I think it would still be a performance bargain.

I think the way the spoiler breaks up the lines in the back makes it look a lot better.

Not so much that they get hot in comparison to other lighting methods, but LED's are particularly sensitive to heat. Much like a computer processor, heat needs to be drawn away from the die to maintain reliability.

It would certainly be a handful.

correct

Ah, retina burning yellow with chrome wheels, hopefully this gentleman makes some better decisions with his replacement Corvette.

About the same for me. I was once certified for H and I motors, but I think G's are still fair game for anyone.

Make that BRZ a turbo and that would be my ideal fleet as well.

Agreed, their design language is solid, and has been for some time (albeit with a few exceptions). They just never seemed to be able to put together that perfect lineup.

Maybe it's just a fluke, but the Fiat 500 Abarth says otherwise; I wish more cars would sound good straight from the factory. I'd applaud Ford if the new run-of-the mill V8 Mustang sounds like this.

Alice in Chains, 'cause I'm sure that's what Impala drivers are listening to... although it doesn't seem like a bad car for the intended demographic.

Same. I have a 110 crank hp beater car and it's not unlivable. Merging onto 65mph highways with short ramps isn't bad as long as I'm not behind some inconsiderate dumb ass in a V6 Camry who goes 35mph for almost the entire length of the ramp then guns it into traffic giving me no time to get up to speed. Other than…

Mine only gets pressed when I autocross my car. The worst is when I hit the button on the first turn and I have to listen to the computer lady say "Say a command!" for the next 40 or more critical seconds.

Well my car is not as cool and my state doesn't allow 8 characters (dashes and spaces don't count), but I'll vie for third place.

One model year closer to 2015, when hopefully the workings under the hood will have more kick (give us at least 235 hp and 180 twisties please). That will be the autocross killer that a lot of us are still patiently waiting for. But who knows what other competition will appear by then, such as the new Miata/Alfa…

I'm not even sure about that. I had a 2005 Corolla with presumably the same craptastic 4-speed auto they are still selling and it self destructed at 60,000 miles.

I watched that again and I still can't make sense of how the GTI got hit.

I agree with many of your points, especially the blind spots, and yet I still bought a 2012 Abarth hatch. I agree a Miata or an FR-S would have been a better choice for a toy car, but at the time I only had one vehicle, so I needed FWD to deal with snow and a bit of cargo room. The Mini S is a compelling choice, but…
