Wayyyyyyy too much going on in the back. My eyes are jumping at all kinds of shit; vents, intakes, lumps and bumps, and that tiny glass canopy... lol. Front end is clean IMO, but holy crap the rear end needs a cleanup.

Going back to basics, I’d constitute luxury in a vehicle based on quality of interior trim and materials, noise insulation, ride quality, smooth driveability. This may not be a “luxury” item per se, but to me a luxury car needs to also be powerful. Not in your face power, like a Corvette, but “sublime” power like the…

Every time I hear “Ferrari V6" I think this:

Neutral: No. Not for automakers anyway. The auto industry pulled through worse in the past. For better or worse, they need to continue developing newer and better vehicles; evolution demands it.

This is a great (and important) point that not many people realize or know when it comes to EVs. It’s a massive barrier for a lot of people who want to become EV owners but simply can’t afford it (myself included). 

I wanted the 3.6R badly in my Outback, but couldn’t justify the cost. Not many around in B.C. Subaru dealerships at the time when I was looking around, and those that had them put ridiculous markups on it. All for a little bit more power and abysmal fuel mileage...

Yeah, IF you have a garage to begin with.

You know what? These cars are cool. They are so rare that I get excited to see one; supras and the others are kinda meh; they’re everywhere (except the Starion, those are fairly rare too, especially in good condition).

It’s because assets (which is actually debt more so) are too easy to get these days. Cars, houses, all kinds of shit. People dig their feet in so fucking deep into debt that many will never, ever get out.

This comment is fucking real. I was exactly at the same impasse you mention in September; buy a new car or take another chance on another used car. So, I took the plunge; leased a 2018 Outback Touring with all the bells and whistles (except the H6 engine) and, while I enjoy the “care-free” experience (for now) my bank…

Still won’t stop any asshole from dropping it in a Civic.

So does a bicycle. Fuck just point A to point B.  

Man I hope you’re right. If the Bronco comes out looking like this, I’ve lost all hope for the future of automotive design. 

Ditto. Only car people care about a badge and its history. The rest buy vehicles because shiny.

Nope. Took the badge, slapped it onto a shell with wheels. Like Mitsubishi did with their Eclipse. 

There’s no frame to start, it’s unibody. And fucking useless. 

This is the piece we all needed. This is what the automotive world today should take note of. Cars have lost their souls, their purpose. They’ve become bloated, overzealous and desperate symbols of modern Western society. Fuck, replicate, consume, carry all your shitspawn and shitty groceries back and forth in mundane…

Idk, I guess it depends. I’m basing what I said on the population here in Victoria. There is some bit of truth that the older men will prefer the 3.6 more as a powerplant; in fact there’s a whole cult following of them out there that will defend that engine to death, even though it’s slow by modern standards and…

Also true. Personally, I’d love a hood scoop. Big or small. 

Holy fuck. This is like seeing a unicorn...
