I agree with everything you said, except on one point—the looks. I’m not even a huge fan of the old Integra, but at least it looked distinct and not like a Civic. The quad headlights and other details made it stand out, even though it wasn’t gorgeous.

My mk6 GTi was incredibly solidly built, though that was a few years ago and to my knowledge the last time they still built the GTi in Germany.

I agree with a lot of your points. People on here love to hate anything new. But for me, it’s just the pack of excitement. I’m thrilled in the back of my mind to see another enthusiast-targeted car, not an SUV, with a manual, in yellow. But it’s so bland when I look at it that from the front I couldn’t tell you if it…

There are apps that develop tunes for you based on the parameters of the car you’re trying to tune, which you input.

They get more fun when you get involved with stuff beyond just racing. Explore the gorgeous open world, try to drive down every road on the map, play the online mass multiplayer arcade events, do Forzathon, try and build a car into something it clearly isn’t meant for (e.g. a lifted offroad muscle car), mess around…

Key is to take the *idea* of the show, and run with that.

This is also an excellent lesson in why “online review” culture needs to die. It is A) easily manipulated by fake accounts, B) easily and rapidly affects a business’ overall rating due to what could potentially be one bad salesman/server/single event, and C) is also one of the first things people look at when skimming…

I bet the LC will come back up someday. And I’d call this way more special than the vette. You’ll see way fewer of these on the road, and their elegant styling will age better than the flashy styling of the C8. This thing surely won’t perform like the vette but it isn’t meant to. Plus, an NA V8 in 2021, in a car…

You know, I’m super torn on the C8. I’m overjoyed Vette did something completely different for once, and that they went to the best layout. But the styling just screams cheap American car to me. The rear looks like a squished Camaro, the side vents are awkwardly placed and shaped, and I don’t like the pointiness of…

Niiiice. Those things are gorgeous. And one of the only truly elegant examples of modern Japanese car design, which usually just looks bonkers.

Special, sure. And great proportions! But not pretty or elegant styling. Way too busy. Too much is happening, and very little of it serves any purpose. Lines just come out of nowhere and hurt my eyeballs. But it is definitely eye catching if that’s what you’re after.

I thought Toyota’s concepts for the Supra were great but in production were toned down in some unattractive ways. The proportions are really good for the most part, but there is way too much happening stylistically on the body panels. I also can’t stand that droopy, weirdly angled rear end. I’ve seen plenty in person…

Dangerous situation would be at night, with the other taillight out. You’d just see a floating arrow!

These have actually grown on me a ton over the past couple years, styling-wise. There are few cars I would actually buy in black (due to it being a pain to keep clean), but these look so mean. The dark color hides some of the weirder styling, and all you get is those awesome proportions. Long hood, tigershark lookin…

If BMW can put out the same models year after year with facelifts and power bumps, then this doesn’t bother me.

Unfortunately that’s the way to do business. “New refresh, similar mechanicals!!” doesn’t have quite as good a ring to it.

As others are saying, 4 was a bit like 3, but the biggest improvement was the map. There were a couple cool sections of FH3's map but a lot of it was just huge, wasted space. 4's felt chock-full of detail, better turns and complex roads, etc. 

I found out about this game through a recommendation on the Hyper Light Drifter subreddit, and the more I learned about it the more I saw similarities. In fact, this review’ praises and (few) criticisms are almost the exact same: short but quality-packed, attention to detail, satisfying and creative combat, and an…
