I think affordable, lightweight, RWD coupe with a liftback/hatch is a win all around. Fun, on a budget, with some practicality. I'd buy it, just please make it sound alright and you'll really put a smile on my face :) Also, please call it the 240Z (strange request?), there's something about saying you own a 240Z that…

You know what? Here, here! That would work out rather good (assuming the base car isn't riddled with the "Nissan-iness" of today)

Sweet, I'd definitely be urging you to give it a rev lol. How are you likely it thus far (I'm pretty sure I'm buying one as my next car).

Wow, that reverse swap actually looks decent

The best part? It comes in a sedan!

Furthermore, lets vote this in instead of the Ford. Social media campaign commence!

I'm married with no kids and have no "real" use for a wagon, but I'd buy this anyways, you know, because it's awesome!

I would expect that, if the hatchback Type R were to make it to our shores, the base civics would also get the hatchback. There's already been rumours that this might occur (but who knows if Honda will follow through).

$40/k in Canada? Try $25K: http://www.ford.ca/app/en/fo/year/2013/vehicle/cmax.html

Awesome!

I give you Vandura (aptly dubbed the shaggin wagon)! If you can feel comfortable driving this beast, I'd say you'll be comfortable driving just about anything. RWD, V8, no electronic nannies (it was a hoot in the snow), loud as hell. Back seat folded into a queen sized bed, all 4 captains chairs turned around…

This x 1 million!

This whole thread = new backgrounds for me :)

Ok, so it's time to bring the KODO design language to the 3, Mazda? I think so. Burn smiley face, burn!

I'm a nerd, deal with it.

Now, I'm no gun expert, but does it not look like the assault rifle is fake? Pretty sure the "bullets" on the ammo clip is a sticker lol.

I did not know of Adam Corolla's existence until now. Ugh thats bad.

I wonder what the availability will be like with this model in comparison to the Abarth. They are only able to make something like 3000 units this year (from the plant in Mexico).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND!

Honestly, while it'd be nice to have a sunroof I often have a hard time justifying the $1k+ pricetag of them. Just not my priority I guess.
