    If you keep it stock, i would choose the subaru, for tuning i would choose the evo, because the engine is way more capable for high hp.
    At least in my country the Subaru is way cheaper to get than the evo and i personally prefer the boxer sound and the looks of the Subaru.

    Subie any day. Evo doesn't sound as good (or look as good).

    Still, both would benefit from a V8 swap.

    I prefer the aesthetics of the Evo, but boxer sound all day long.

    New Countach vs Old Countach?

    personally (even though I wouldn’t fit inside lol I’m over 6ft), I like the older one.

    I'd have to go with the new one, I actually quite like it. Lambo did well on reviving it. I'd prefer both, though.

    Yeah, the new one is pretty sweet, and lambo did a good job, unlike Mitsubishi reviving the eclipse :skull:

    Or the revival of the thunderbird
    or the revival of the bel-air
    or the revival of the 1930-40s design through the Chevy SSR/ HHR or the Plymouth Prowler

    It isn't easy to correctly and successfully revive a car.
    But damn, these companies failed hard with these listed ones.

    I liked the thunderbird revival, kinda. But it looks like an Aston Martin, probably because ford owned Aston Martin lol

    What's wrong with the power wagon? Unless you're talking about the weird concept they made a while back, then I agree.

    Yeah the concept is ugly as sin, but I like the current Power Wagon too. I see a few around here used by loggers.

    People hate on AMC? I find their cars pretty cool, the Pacer being one of the coolest.

    moving this out of the update speculation thread
    remind me again, concisely as you reasonably can, what is actually so bad about them, warranting a need to "supress" information about them?
    surely if they're going to become popular when the "beast" is "fed", that means they're generally a bit better than equivalent ICEs?

    I dunno, do you have all night?

    Unfortunately, that's not how the world works anymore. We have reached a point where people can be very easily fooled into thinking that they "pencil out" in one way or another, even though they really, really don't. (I'm talking "complete demotorization of peasants like us would be physically unavoidable under an ICE ban" levels of don't.) They are also the next stage of the self-fulfilling prophecy where boring mainstream cars result in fewer people wanting their car to be fun, which then leads to mainstream cars becoming even more boring, and on and on and on until we reach a critical mass of "what's even the problem with having the car just drive for me?" That particular process has already advanced through at least a cycle or two already, let's not help it along.
