They’ve both been out since 2008 with various re-dos. People who can afford these things new (aka people in their 30s, crawling up the corporate ladder) don’t want to be confused with a 2009 rental.

I have a neighbor who owns a 2015 Hellcat, which he bought new. Last year, he bought a Demon. He still has them both. I asked him that very question, “Dude, why do you have both cars?”

I guess there are times when a tallboy really is just too much PBR.

Hey, if the Focus ST can do it...

The Niro is definitely going to be my next car. Great gas mileage, not terrible to drive, and has a lot of value for its price. Its weird saying this, but Kia has been killing it lately

Good suggestion. The Kona looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. It’s really small though. 

I've been in one. The backseat is tiny.

She’s in Colorado, Subaru epicenter. So yeah, if you want to look like everyone else with no soul or style. Sure.

Whippet:

Ahem...

Subaru Crosstrek might fit the bill (since she doesn’t need performance).

Lately the answer to most of these has been some variation of VW Golf.

So...
Uhh, yeah.  Golf.

I grant you that it’s a car person’s type of car and that they likely all knew of it, but I wager that’s a relatively small market compared to the number of people that might’ve considered buying a car like the SS. Some well targeted advertising likely would’ve moved more units. (or moved them faster)

Hunan Resources would like to have a word with you...

I always wonder how these bubbles get going, I think of the Porsches I passed up not soo very long ago because I thought the price was too high. This one is getting down to screw it money, and if the motor hasn’t blown by now I wouldn’t worry that much about it. NP. 

This is still one of the absolute best D segment sedans. Mazda deserves more credit than what they get.

That’s all fine and dandy but they better fix and improve their dealer network and quality real fast and increase the dealer count soon because some of the existing ones are pulling the usual Hyundai/Kia shitty dealer tactics. Difficult to sell the regular version itself if they pull shit like this on the customer, I…

This is cool. I'm glad at least the Koreans are doing performance right. But before all this though, they need to iron out the kinks of their sales network. It sucks. I found one on sale within 100 miles of me. With a little over 500 for sale in the whole country. 

Noooooo!
