I thought the same when the 2015 mustang came out. Just looked like damnit in photos.

Nissan is even phoning it in on the Altima front. The Camry and Accord received very revolutionary redesigns this past year and it looks like Nissan is just saying “fuck it. Good enough.”. I mean I guess it’s not a cuv so why bother right?

*exitspeed* · 02-14-2018, 06:04 AM

Oh guys look at this gem!!! 09 GXP Solstice Coupe with 25k on it...unfortunately with a auto. So close to perfection.

I know this “look” is both loved and loathed by people on here. But it’s cool a $100k Lexus IS being modded no?

It's exactly enough effort

Generally i'm not used to looking at the general look. It's a notable class from what year they think?

Lebanon Ford Dealer is at it again. This time with a 800hp Mustang GT for $40k. Crazy.

I honestly don't know what I'd do with all that power, other than try not to shit myself on a daily basis on the way to work.

Not voiding the factory warranty is what made the 727 Stang so appealing to me. Kinda like their Ecoboost upgrade package, even with the higher HP, I'm less enthused about this one.
I wonder if the lower HP upgrade will still be available on the 2018 model and allows them to maintain the factory warranty...

More than likely just aim at crowds of people.

Well the new ones do have pedestrian detection now, kinda like a missile guidance system.

I’m not mad at this. A Fiat Abarth 124 GT with a CF hard top.

BOROSUN · 02-28-2018, 08:24 PM

nah , hardtop/coupe miatas are neck snappers. all day.

124 is a forgettable look even with a carbon top.

Wholeheartedly disagree. The ND Miata has some fugly design quirks that really need to be smoothly out in a mid-model refresh/facelift.

The 124 hardtop looks effortless and timeless, IMO. Really classy.

*exitspeed* · 03-01-2018, 06:02 AM

I used to hate the fiat version, but it’s grown on me. I still prefer the Miata. But yeah I’m looking forward to the midlife facelift.

Frfr. They need to smooth out those weird fang protrusions in the hoodline and the rear tail lights need to be better spaced out or redesigned. That's all I can think of at the moment, but that's enough for me to pick the Fiat in a beauty contest between these two cars.

*exitspeed* · 03-01-2018, 03:05 PM

Well the GM CF truck bed thing was true.

https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/01/...erra-revealed/

We’ll have to see how it fares in the real world.

BOROSUN · 03-01-2018, 06:22 PM

i see both cars everyday. my eyes just draws more to the miata.

The RF in that steel grey metallic is my preference. Gonna keep any eye on these until they're more affordable in about 3-4 years.

*exitspeed* · 03-05-2018, 06:27 AM

Ok so a second car is happening this month (end of it) and I’m having a hell of a time deciding. Going to lease, sedan preferably and has to fit three booster seats in the back. Here’s where I’m at in order of what I actually want:

18 Mazda 6 with the 2.5t 310ft lbs. my wife doesn’t want a second Mazda because she doesn’t want to be “those people”.

18 Genesis G80. Dope car. Especially in white (which is the color we’re getting no matter what we choose).

18 CTS. Love these cars. Great lease deals because well, no one is buying sedans.

18 Stinger. I love it, wife hates it. But only because it’s a Kia.

18 XC60. Probably the best auto of the bunch but I want a sedan.

Going to measure back seats today. Don’t trust the websites. I need real world measurements.

BOROSUN · 03-05-2018, 09:25 AM

have you looked at the new chevy ss?

Love that car. Probably the most underrated car that was on the market.

There's so few of them left though that I can't really walk in a buy one locally. There's only 3 left that are listed as "new" on Cars.com and none of them are by me. They're also $50k and ideally I'd like to be in the low to mid $40's.

***Future240*** · 03-05-2018, 12:53 PM

Stinger

Its new, its different and its bad ass. Good interior and the GT is right in your price range.

or CTS to keep the wife happy.

*exitspeed* · 03-05-2018, 02:14 PM

Went and looked at all of them today. The Stinger is the clear winner. Surprisingly all the centers of the back seats were within an inch and half of each other. The Stingers female part of the buckle though was on a longer belt so it actually gave it the most room. It is also the most practical being a hatch. Its a relative bargain and the interior was way better in that car than the rest.

I was most disappointed in the CTS honestly.

Corbic · 03-05-2018, 02:58 PM

Massarati. They have insane leases.

Check out Alfa too
