Which is the problem - because we’re not buying enough for them to keep existing either... They need to have appeal outside of just the enthusiast ranks, in my humble opinion, and I don’t see it anymore for these (the Toyobaru twins), although we don’t know pricing yet - low enough maybe, but otherwise...  

I didn’t say GOOD.  I said “interesting”. 

Suuuurrrreee.  To us.  To most people?  2 door sports car.  Arguably, the 911 is a 2+2 GT car - but no one really thinks that way anymore.  Now it’s “2 door sports car” - “4 door coupe SUV!” >_< 

So do Beanie babies, to some people :p 

Price is the question.  If they’re priced the same, they’ll be cross-shopped - both 2 door sports cars.  

Never was a fan of the V8 personally (not a BMW thing; I own one of theirs with 8 cylinders, but that V8 in particular), and I see a 7 year old M3 with low miles going for near-new pricing.  Which, well, is a bit weird to me.  I’d take either the older E46 generation with the I6 (because BMW, and god do I love that…

Oh, I’m sure at least a FEW of those Jeeps with V8s have exhaust leaks that make them sound more interesting.... Ish?

Cute and fun story, but it’s still a rather overpriced, older BMW...  current car pricing is whack.  

Nissans is not good (subaru’s is better), and also everything is now a touch button - which is not good.  

I did this with a Dyna Custom back in the day - longer suspension, better, better pipes for clearance, and tweaked pegs.  Loved that thing. 

Keeps the board and stockholders happy.  

And yet, they sell...  

Thank you - I’m one of those guys that knows how to do the work, but just doesn’t have the time (or often the energy).  I need places like you that I trust to take the car (whichever one it is) and just solve the problem.  Chances are I know what it is (and if I don’t, not afraid to admit it), I just need the work…

This is what I did when I started in that field.  GTI, then G37XS (CPO), then finally the BMW (as I spent more and more time on the road).  

I’d be in.  

This.  I’m interested.  

I did the SVT Focus, a year and a half later, over this, the RSX-S, the SRT-4, and the Mazda 3.  I wish I’d done the RSX, and at the time, I wish I’d done the SRT.  

That’s new construction though - not existing, which is where most of the inventory is.  

Like I said. Judgmental!
