    Im really starting to get bored with skoda theyre just way to slow like the fabia wich biggest engine has a 110hp wich isnt really much also they have only 3 cylinders wich means they arent as reliable as the older engines with a cylinder more. Id change my mind if theyll make a car as good as the skoda fabia rs again with a 180 hp because that thing was really fast

    I'm not a fan of the new mustang...



    It looks melty and is way too angular.

    Yea, the new Supra is a disgrace to the Supra name. Such a shame. Guess the Mk. 4 and older are going to skyrocket in value now, just like what happened to the NSX.

    Toyota have forgotten how to make a car fun to drive. Their 80's, some 90's, and even some of their early 2000's cars were blasts and extremely fun. Hell, my dad had a 2004 Camry, it was awesome. That generation, Toyota stuffed a 2.4L version of the AZ engine in them, and it had a lot of pep. You could get an MZ-series V6, and that was even more fun. I hate to say it, but I feel the GT-86 only exists because of Subaru.

    Toyota should take lessons from the likes of Mazda or even Ford (who happen to use some Mazda platforms). The Mazda 2 is a spritly little bastard, especially having something like a 1.2L engine. The 3 has great road feel, and I think you can get the Mazda 6 in a stick still.

    Ford's Fiesta, the Mazda 2's big brother, is fantastic, even with the 1.0 EcoBoost. The current Focus feels light on its feet, and they even shoved some chilies up the Fusion's tailpipe by giving it a twin-turbo 2.5L V6.

    Toyota has a TRD Yaris coming out that's supercharged. Damn I hope it's a fun little devil, Toyota needs it to be.

    Personally I like the new mustang. Also think the Supra might be a good car to build off of, keeping its tuner reputation.

    I swear to fuck we're in a tech arms race when it comes to car design. They're really trying to make them look like millitary aircraft. But just because plastic moulding has come down in price doesn't mean we should abuse it. I can't fathom why the market lets them make cars look like really really fat airplanes now.

    Recently I got an early 90's Cadillac De Ville with the HT-4900 engine for a great price, one of the headlights wasn't facing forward so it wasn't ready to be driven at night but I just unscrewed it and the hood holds it in place against the bumper so that's all good now(kinda going to do a bit more to repair that later). Next I just need to recharge the AC and maybe glue the handle for closing the door back together a bit and I'll have the nicest car in my family.

    My point exactly. Skinny tires, soft suspension, and it weighed under 2,900 pounds. That's fun.


    It was also mid-90's, get it right.
