Meh. FWD. Automatic. No thanks. Even with a manual the Sera’s slightly more pedestrian cousin the Paseo is only slightly more fun than a base 90s Civic. AZ1, Honda Beat, or an SW20 are all far higher up on my list of “want”.

Unpopular opinion: the 987 Cayman looks way better

So... how do these work? Because if they’re like the Model 3, then they’re garbage. For those who don’t know: The Model 3 door handles have a little 1-square-inch area (the wide part) you have to hit with your thumb which then levers out the door handle proper which you can then grasp and pull to open the door. It’s…

Your username is freaking hilarious considering I went from a Mazda Miata to a Mazda6 to an IS300 and LS400.

I had the sedan version of this. Manual. V6. Definitely the best driving car in its segment and the engine sounds FANTASTIC, with some maintenance caveats.

Last year of millennials here. Can confirm; not a kid. I do find “yeet” hilarious, however.

E46s look equally excellent in two and four door guise. As a bonus, they have aged extremely well.

I have a Honda CX500, which is a 4-valve 500cc pushrod v-twin with fairly minimal mufflers on it. When short-shifting it around a neighborhood it sounds vaguely like a Harley, then when you start to wring it out instead of shifting at 3800rpm it keeps going up to 10,000RPM and is incredibly bizarre the first time you…

I do agree that the Boring Cars Are Good but even then there are Good Boring Cars and Bad Boring Cars. This is why I consistently tell people looking for a used Boring Car to buy the lowest-mile Honda Fit or Honda Civic they can afford. No weird CVT/trans issues (Ford, Nissan), no interior build quality issues (Ford,…

If you consider the switchgear and infotainment out of a Dodge Dart to be exotic then... yeah, sure. I guess.

Yeah, even my 40 year old pushrod v-twin revs to 10k, and it’s a Honda too!

Cool pic; I really wish the cars were staged better :( Hiding the nose of a car behind other cars is never a great technique.

...this is just a minor facelift of the existing car. How does it look any more or less drab? Other than maybe a tweak to the grill I can’t see ANY changes at all in the front 3/4 view.

Looks promising. Kind of getting a Jeep of Theseus vibe here but, hey, much cooler to build it yourself.

I own it. My 1998 Lexus LS400 currently sitting at 230,000 miles.

I love it. I love it so much. Usually these kinds of tribute cars are a slapdash thing on a rusted out late 90s blob of a Monte Carlo with the base engine and an auto. This thing is cool. I’m not a NASCAR fan but I would unashamedly daily drive the hell out of this thing. The DOHC V6 is a fun little ripper making…

Yep. DOHC 3.4 liter aluminum V6. A very unusual motor used in almost nothing and about as difficult to work on as a 3000GT VR-4 due to how crammed into the engine bay it is.

But were they manual Z34s? Those are fairly difficult to find cars, especially in good shape. To me this car would be worth near the asking price without the Dale stuff, so it’s up to you if the extra entertainment value from the tribute shenanigans help or hurt the value.

When I’m sitting at a red wanting to turn right and some dipshit waiting to go straight pulls up so far I can’t see the oncoming traffic.

IS300 Sportcross owner here. Driving through the desert as evening was coming to a close I passed someone in a Honda Pilot on a remote and entirely deserted (other than us) two lane highway. Perfectly arrow straight, no foliage, nothing to reference speed. I matted it around Mr Slowly and continued on my way…
