That’s extremely low hanging fruit.

I’m flattered.

That’s part of the reason Macross II is shunned from existence and why so many people hate 7.

Except for the fact that they could not even be laughably made to transform in any sense of realism. (I understand we are talking about variable fighters, but all of the rest of the Valkyries you could at least piece together where each part goes. Both Macross II Valkyries are just a mess of shapes.

Macross II was basically banished from reality by Shoji Kawamori as a “side story”

So you’re planning on getting rid of her by day 364?

“proper.”

I deal with it every day by driving a proper three pedal car.

Ok not an N52 but an N54. May I be lashed extra hard down in hell... My point was that it wasn’t an S engine. They put the N54 in a whole bunch of cars, 335, Z4, 740, etc. The fact that it is riding on M3 suspension bits is basically the definition of a parts bin special, i.e. taking existing parts from one car to…

If the 1M had an S engine, I would be with you all the way, but it had a tarted up N52.

For the love of God, just make a BRZ STi and be done with it.

Sure, they don’t rev as high or make as much peak HP as the Euro motor.

“But if you drive it, it won’t feel neutered, as long as you never drive an actual example.”

I think people are bothered that it’s not a “true” M car, but a tarted up 1 series with M3 suspension bits and an uprated motor. (yeah, yeah, body kit and wider hips, etc.)

#4 No third pedal.

Mercedes have been Mercs for at least as long as I’ve been alive. (80’s)

The cgi! My eyes! (Blearch) Oh no, oh no. (Blearch)

I think you’re confused. We aren’t crying out for the return of hand drawn animation. (Redline, etc.) It’s the fact that they rendered Gut’s whole body except his face, instead of digitally drawing it. The mind can still tell what is completely rendered and what is at least partially drawn. Like Gundam Unicorn, you…

It helps that they’re an E39 M5 underneath the skin. Also helps that they’re really, really pretty in person.

I found this on the official website:
