There’s the FF/GTC4 Lusso... which I think is the only performance 2+2 hatch you can still buy new with power going to the rear wheels. Everything else (Stinger included) either has too many doors or is FWD.

My speculation is that they’re trying to distance themselves from the Mk IV as much as they’re trying to utilize the nostalgia for sales.

Besides, if we’re going to bring back styling from a prior gen, go for the best looking one:

I got there, I just don’t find it compelling; if you’re buying a new performance-spec Hyundai, why only get half the go-fast bits? What situation are you in where an N-line is a desired compromise over either a base or a N model?

I mean, sure, choices are good, I just don’t see who’s going to make that choice knowingly…

To that end I would recommend checking out Griggs Racing for the pro-live axle side, and Full Tilt Boogie Racing for IRS.

The short version is that the Cobra IRS was compromised as it had to be able to mount to the existing brackets for the 4-link suspension. IIRC, the live axle has better enough grip under…

Ehh.... the problem is that everything stock in them is garbage at worst and needing to be upgraded at best. The suspension on both ends is trash, the chassis flexes something horrid, the motor needs hard parts to really wake up, the stock gearing is obnoxiously high, the relative position of the controls is bad (sit…

I’ll be flat shocked if Toyota sells the  4-cylinder Supra in the US. Mazda won’t even sell the 1.5L ND Miata here, and they’re pretty much the only company given a pass to make low-power cars.

Who wanted this? I get a fluffy psuedo-sport package on a luxury marque where we pleebs can’t afford the actual performance model, but isn’t the point of getting a Hyundai that you don’t have to compromise with getting the package you want?

Waitwaitwaitwait... you’re telling me it was offered in a kammback?!  Yeah, that’s gonna be the tops from me, dawg.

My knuckles hurt just looking at that.

Except the Japanese made the Toyota 2000 GT.

I don’t like the E-type.  That might change if I ever get the chance to drive one, but as it is I think the proportions look wonky from most angles and the hood is too long.  Your picture is one of the few that makes it look right.  Compare it to the Ferrari 250 GTO which has similar lines but makes them look…

I see them for sale often enough, but it’s always examples on extreme ends of the scale; either affordable but completely rusted out or perfectly restored and with a price that makes Barrett-Jackson cringe.

So why hasn’t the STI been moved from the EJ to the FA?  Subaru already makes a turbocharged 2.4L version of the FA they could use a starting point.

I mean, fuck cancer, but anything that gets someone out of a Highlander isn’t all bad...

To be fair, that’s from GoBots....

They tried it on a rail first, but the driver wanted to do it clean, and the clean version is what ended up in the movie.  There was an interview with the director that talked about it.

they said it would be large and treacherous, filled with danger and excitement.

I really don’t understand why people put up with this. Especially combined with the unprompted updates/restarts. Is there really such a lock on software that’s Windows-only? In today’s browser-based world there’s progressively less compromises to run OSX or Linux, and in increasing number of advantages. Or even…

I wish NASCAR would bring back homologation rules for engines. Open up what’s legal to anything they can sell at least 500 examples of in the body they claim the car to be (by all means run a fiber/carbon body over a tube frame) and get to pass California emissions. I’ll throw in a couple extra hoops that you have to…

Wouldn’t it need to be a Sneak Attack class sub for the first one to be named the HMAS Sneak Attack? Or a Sneak variant of the Attack class? Or maybe this is their admission it’s not very sneaky?  They are converting it to diesel, maybe it rolls coal up on the shoals?
