That’s cool, but this is cooler.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion here but I never liked the way the Z32 looked. IMO, it already started to look dated even when it was still available new, especially when compared to its Japanese contemporaries in its class. To the point of those headlights not being pop-ups, one of the things that bugged…

It wasn’t my car but I was a passenger in one when it died in the Holland Tunnel leaving the city during a busy weekend afternoon. That wasn’t fun.

Without looking at his response first, I knew it would be the rarest generation.

Lime Green Metallic was one of a few “premium” paint options that the S2000 had in Japan. From what I recall, they were also able to order the car with any exterior and interior color combo that was available during that model year, unlike the extremely limited color combos we had in the US.

In regards to the 1st, I assume they didn’t test the vehicles with their optional HIDs if they were offered. The list shows the QX50 as being marginal but I’ve regularly driven an EX35 (first iteration of the QX50 but essentially the same) with the optional HIDs and they’re as good as any of the multitude of other…

It might’ve been a good thing that you played Xenosaga before Xenogears. As someone who adored Xenogears and liked it better than any Square RPG of that era*, it could’ve ruined how much you (might’ve?) enjoyed Xenosaga.

*based on memories playing all those games when they were only available with black labels (no…

One of the JDM parts importers posted pics of the 2008 STI Nurburgring car on their Facebook page back when that car was running. At the time, they usually said if you couldn’t find a part on their site, you could ask and they’d track it down. I wanted that ‘08 Nurburgring bumper since it had 2 sets of…

Because that’s how Jalopnik rolls. Once something is out of production, there’ll suddenly be articles about how awesome it is even if they hated it in the past or didn’t pay any attention to it when it was sold new. This seems especially true if it had a rare combo of features.

Is this another one of those Jalopnik things where old/out of production things suddenly become highly desirable? I never thought the Gallardo looked good but the Huracan’s design flows so much better IMO, especially the rear when compared with the Gallardo.

Making it body colored draws attention to it whereas having it black makes it blend in with the rest of the grille. In fact, I never paid much attention to it until I saw that pic where it was Photoshopped to be body colored. Because of that, it reminds me of the beak.

Doing this reminds me a little too much of the old Acura beak...

I had an STI that would probably fit the description of what you’re looking for. In fact, it was the only legitimately stock (and always stock) STI within pages and pages of F/S ads on IWSTI and NASIOC and was also listed on C/L and AutoTrader. However, all those who were interested and wanted a legitimately…

As someone who’s lost track of how many times they’ve watched the entire series, thinks it’s the best anime series ever made and everything about it is perfect, and just a month ago, was reminded of that when they rewatched the entire series again on Blu-ray, the only reaction possible is....

There’s also a problem with seats being stolen and, to a lesser extent, gauge clusters. If you have a hardtop, there’s that, too. At least these things are more privy to a smash-and-grab than an all out car theft, so there’s that. =/

Or those people would say, “Can’t wait till they’re X-years old so I can pick one up used.”

USDM EP3 Civic Si (2002-2005). If they sold the Type R version in the US, it wouldn’t have gotten as much hate as it did.

IMO, the biggest cause for the demand drop was the same as what happened with the original NSX: they let it languish with “minimal” updates for years and years while the price crept up and the market moved on. Those who wanted one already got one and there was no incentive for them to purchase a newer one after a few…

Yup, PA drivers. There are quite a few of them up in northwest NJ and they are usually the worst (tailgating, weaving, driving stupid fast). I always attributed it to the fact that they live in areas where there isn’t as much traffic (I’ve cut through PA past 80W many times through the years and it’s just devoid of…

Pleasantly surprised by and enjoyed this post. I’ve read a few articles/watched a few video reviews of this thing and they all basically rehashed the same thing as each other (probably all riffing off of the same press pack). Even Doug’s review had similar content to everyone else’s, albeit more sensationalized as…
