  1. A little bit of GM horsepower...
  2. I am not sure how a hybrid sTI will go over with traditional STI buyers. What I can get for STI money now....a Mustang GT and a Civic Type R would be more desirable. And I still love the STI.
  3. Having driven them yes, I agree one hundred percent.
  4. The stuff from Benz is vastly better looking. Of course, the same could actually be said of Hyundai. BMW seems to be suffering an existential Crisis as of late... What is it BMW stands for or is supposed to be any more?
  5. More like this...they say at the end of the advert "if you have a party in the back Ford has business up front." Perfect as a lot of people have a party in the back for those with business up front. Nice to see, isn't it?
  6. From a purely subjective viewpoint I really like the feel of a GTI on an autocross course over the feel of a the Focus ST. That being said...I am very sorry that sport compacts seem to be going away...and from a personal stand point...I am really thinking about a Cherokee as my next vehicle. AWD goodness for Ohio Snow, and I love the idea of finding one CPO with the Trailhawk package. And the Focus ST...in the end I will miss it. One of my sons friends had a black Focus ST that he totaled while being stupid...I miss that car. Yes...but as enthusiasts we have choices. I love living in a country that gives me so many choices...
  7. Too many electrics will flood the market and overwhelm it, just like Hybrids did.
  8. If you look anything like your avatar I can see why. And he did a lot of good things as well. Antisemitism is really scary. I am politically VERY critical of Israel...but I also realize Jewish people have been subject to thousands of years of antisemitism. Agree...godspeed and get well my friend.
  9. Ford and GM are learning to get out of the game where they have six months of inventory of a particular car line sitting and needs to be discounted and sold a minimal profit or a loss. For a street car it is a thousand times better.
  10. And hate to say this, but at $40K I can buy a gently used CTS-V also....yes...different caliber of car but...for the money... Also...once you goa bove 30K you are starting to talk Mustang GT and Camaro SS/V8 Challenger money. LOTS of options in the thirty plus range. Which is why i doubt we will ever see a Turbocharged BRZ....and why Nissan has dropped the price on the badly badly dated 370Z. Ford and GM are the best buy for performance over 30K....unless you want to spend a LOT of coin and wind up with something AMG-ish from Benz. They are fun to hoon around an autocross or Rallycross course at an SCCA event. The thing is....Subaru is able to play this one smart because they only build a limited number of these cars which keeps the resale high. Domestics are learning not to be everything to everybody... Which is why I am not so sad about so many cars being cancelled. I like the idea of Ford going one hundred percent in on the new Bronco like they did the aviator...and of Cadillac being 100 percent in on the next gen of V cars.
  11. The one that has grown on me the most is actually the Focus RS, which sadly is no longer produced. The next gen Focus like Europe got in an RS trim would be killer IMHO.
  12. Heck...i would even take lovely American Women with Asian iron.
  13. I usually walk about 5 or 6 miles a day. 100 is a good number for living or driving fast. With luck...I can drive 100 when I am 100.
  14. In my ideal world we would be two teenage boys cruising my old hometown in a Cutty 442 and burning the living PHOKKK out of those old 50 series bias plies on the rear while we were listening to some Rock on the 8 track...
  15. This....if I live to 78 or 80 I will be happy.
  16. I learned that I need to value each day uniquely....you only have so many. time flies...I am 53...will turn 54 in September.
  17. We will see how all of the electrics do, public perception and reception may trail product availability.
  18. Good....so this car might live on if other sedans die out. Wonder what a next gen Conti might look like?
  19. Good for them...and glad they are keeping thew production line rolling. Isn't this built on the same line as the Mustang?
  20. Getting the kids out of the house (youngest graduates this year from high school!) should drop the #
  21. I will have put 50K on the Beetle at the 2 year mark....Leasing won't work for me either.
  22. Now that I really like! I know, right...as compared to the modern dismal strip mall store of today.
