If your only hangup is price, then consider that the higher-trim Nissan 240SX rang in at about $24K when new. Factoring in the inflation and worthlessness of today's US dollar, I believe this is a very fair price.

It's a common practice — manufacturers want to get on journalists' best spirits and make good impressions, but it's up to the journalists to write unbiased reviews (which this very well seems to be).

Jesus, I want one of these so bad. It sounds like the Toyota/Subaru engineers took everything that I wanted in a car and made it exist. Absolutely fantastic review!

Yeah I went to Exomotive's website and was subsequently unimpressed.

How about a bottle of headgasket repair?

Haha wow...that's just absurd.

First, we never got the Hilux in the US. The official name of this truck is Toyota Pick-Up.

Hang on a second — I'm not going to play DSM fanboi or anything, but they're far from weak cars. The second-gen 4G63T motor was prone to crankwalk (keep in mind that not all motors had this problem), but the first-gen motor is a pretty stout foundation for making a lot of horsepower, and the AWD systems of both…

Wow...that's unfortunate. I test-drove a 2002 SpecV many years ago and thought it was awesome. I finally convened that FWD wasn't for me, but if I wanted to stick with a factory hot-rodded econobox on the cheap, that would have been it.

Americans don't want manual transmissions.*

Why was the QR25 a piece of shit? I thought it made Ward's Best for a few years...

I had an idiot former friend put that same exact carbon fiber muffler on his Eclipse GS-T Spyder. It was hilarious when he was legitimately pissed that I beat him in a drag race with a bone-stock '91 240SX with about 180K miles. I definitely should have beat him from a dig, but he just never caught up. But that HKS…

I measure at the valvestem with my mouth.

However, wire tucks are usually a hidden rat's nest nightmare for the next owner, as all show cars are inevitably sold on eBay for "OVER $1BILLION INVESTED! ONLY ASKING $91,425! ! NO RESERVE!!!1"

Reggaeton is catchy in small doses, but please do something about the chongas!

As long as the maintenance schedule only specifies miles, and not time intervals.

Yeah I don't get it either, to be honest. They're not exciting by any stretch, but they're just fine for daily commuting — I'd have no problem driving a hybrid anything on my 65-mile-per-day commute and rocking my M3 on the weekends. The more wear-and-tear and miles on the car that needs to be filled up once every 3…

I liked the B15 pre-facelift, before the front-end moved toward the bland Nissan design language. Too bad the facelift happened after only one year.

SR20DE Bluebird all the way. I think the Pulsar AWD drivetrain was also a direct swap.

If I had run around 10 years ago saying that Hyundai and Kia were inspiring other automakers in their designs, I would have been locked up.
