@orbit: The original IS was designed by the same engineer that made the AE86 a reality. The current one is a fat pig.

I honestly can't see what it is that Toyota brings to the table here... It's not like Toyota has an already available RWD platform open to shortening and widening...

The red hand marks make it all the more convincing.

The debris from those open rear fenders will be the curse of rally photographers around the world...

While I understand the sheer magnitude of the task, I think the editors should stop by oppo more often. Gems like these are in abundance and don't always make it into tips.

@subsurface1: I don't live in the U.S., so I didn't participate, but thank you.

F1, this is your fault.

CP. Even if it were a 4-door, or had the 321hp engine (I just learned about that one, thank you dal20402) the perceived value of low mileage does not equate to actual value as a vehicle. They're not rare enough to be collectibles (yet), not cheap enough (both buying and maintaining) to be bargain racers (especially at…

@dal20402: Thank you. For the past 5 years since I've joined Jalopnik I've been wondering what everyone has been on about with the E36 having 240hp.

@FormerlyTheGreatestDriver: Yes. We need a #starnomination tag for the trulu deserving. Trudat.

@not_a_virus.exe.vbs: That's exactly why the Patriot flywheel racer I posted above was cancelled. The shielding from an explosion added too much weight.

Ha, I nominated as soon as I read it. Yet I still miss Ash. A bittersweet chuckle.

I still don't understand the door limitation. Add 20lb and give it another door, it's awkward enough to say you drive a sporty Hyundai without having to tell people to "get in from the other side".

I'll take a Passat this one. No thanks.
