Somehow it looks 5 years old already, and I’m definitely getting a whiff of Ford Everest in the rear.

I enjoyed my R35, but I wasn’t sad to see it go either.

Sure, if this was a 50 or even 80 thousand dollar build, but the prices these Icons go for warrants the extra time and effort put in to make the cars perfect in every aspect. Saying “but it would have been hard!” is a shit excuse. 

Such a sad story how they turned an everyman’s supercar-beating legend into just another high-priced car of the same category. The R32s-R34s are the better models.

Yeah, that was a great car.  I drove it a couple times.  He switched to an Altima when they moved that to almost the size of the Maxima.  I think because Mom had to drive more and that Maxima scared everyone when she drove it.

Which is still inaccessible if you do not have the money.

What a really great story, thanks for sharing. Also, doing the math, that’s a mid-1990s Maxima, which is still such a great car.

dammit mazda, why cant you just release a coupe miata to the masses for a few years? 

Almost $30,000 but “just about everyone can own.” You can’t be that out of touch with the financial state of a lot of people. 

My dad wasn’t a fan of Japanese cars for a LONG time. He was a combat vet from the South Pacific and he had reasons for not liking Japanese products that he never told his kids.

Mine never leaked.

I polity disagree here. Hard Nope. I had a 280Z, my father had the 240Z.

Sugar?

Great movie.

Of course... whether it gets done well is even more of a crapshoot than it is in a corrupt democracy (like America).

and an ugly one at that.

Polyphony showing their obsessive attention to detail when recreating an Italian car:

The R8 is one of those cars everyone collectively loves, but is not talked about that much at least in my opinion.

A Ponch !
