I want that blue so bad, but after 3 blue cars in a row my wife is making me buy a white car. But if I get her a white CX5 . . . can’t have two white cars.

That’s my plan for ITS or CTR for Massachusetts, 18s probably OZs and 225 Nokian snows. I’ve never bent an OZ wheel and had a couple sets.

If an Integra can be over $50k, a Prelude can be $60k, and have a FWD + rear drive electric hybrid. That could end up being fun to drive. I’d prefer a manual but there’s more of a market for an automatic. If it’s an affordable Halo car it can be a coupe or fastback. But more likely it’ll be a...

It’s a $50k car, back in 1997 I paid I think $21k for my GSR and a Type R was $25k and never went over sticker. I was making $40k out of college. It was doable for young people. I might have bought one if I knew how much better it was than a GSR. Now with the cost of living tripled and salaries...

I think it's less age and more of what kind of shape you're in. I'm 55 and started going to the gym 3-4 times a week after moving to Taiwan last year since there's one in our apartment building. It makes a huge difference in all kinds of things, including getting in and out of low cars, and...

If it had a manual it would be awesome. And if the ITS was auto only I wouldn't be interested. Although the manuals in GTIs are meh.

have you driven one? I'd guess it's rather numb compared to the ITS, but the engine sound would never get old. I miss having a nice sounding engine, last one I had was the 2004 330i ZHP, loved listening to that engine. Longest I ever owned a car too, at 12 years.

Turbo fours. Normally aspirated fours can sound amazing, as Honda has proven. I had a rental Audi A3 years ago, and the quick revvingg little 1.6L 100 hp four also sounded awesome.

I keep telling my two boys they may have to fight boys before they become friends. :D I do get mad all the time about the wealth gap, but I would never blame a Porsche enthusiast, I blame the Federal Reserve. People are very angry these days, and rightfully so, about all the printed money...

So your RS3 didn't have the drift mode the Mk8 Golf R has? That's supposed to make the Golf R more fun. I'm not sure I've driven an Audi since the B5 S4, both test drives and a buddy's heavily modified one. As awesome as that car was modified, stock it didn't compare that well to the E36 or E46...

Look at that, a post where you didn't mention Porsche. :thumbsup: I wasn't really serious, I'd much rather talk about Porsches than Hondas, if I can say that on this forum. :oops: Yeah, I love my Focus, if the US government wasn't a bunch of dicks I'd bring it home with us in 18 months.

***cough*** Porsche! ? i always like these guys’ show, the cinematography really gets you a good idea of what the cars look like and their opinion always closely matches mine. While I’m leaning Type R I totally agree if they’re both over $50k I’m getting the ITS. I Love the previous gen...

Really? Here's what I said. That's why the engine sounds a little better than turbo 4s. But not as good as it should. Toyota left some cards on the table, car should sound better and be a bit more exciting given what it is. You just took the comment and ran with it so you could remind...

Yeah, sorry, didn't know we were comparing 3 cylinders to 6 figure Porsches. I only compared it to the Type R.

If Toyota had given the Corolla hatch a traditional trunk, like a Golf or my Focus, instead of the sloping roof, it would at least have a usable trunk and rear headroom. I hate when car makers gimp the practicality for some weird stylish reason.

Skip to 2:00 min mark to hear the 3 cylinder in the i8 (with all the fake noises turned off). https://insideevs.com/news/453568/bmw-i8-active-sound-disabled-video/ This is half a BMW inline six. The Audi 5 cylinder sounds amazing. We can agree to disagree. Doesn't really matter cause the...

It’s a 4” smaller wheelbase with a more peaky engine, less front heavy weight distribution- so it should be more fun, but is the difference enough to make up for the lack of refinement and practicality? I’m praying for a second gen model with a more practical body style.

OP, I had a '97 GSR in the same color. Wish I had a better picture. After selling this in 2000 for a '95 325i, (I wanted to do track days but couldn't fit in the Integra with a helmet) it was a long hiatus from Honda til my 2017 Civic Sport hatch.

I think it’s changing already. EVs are piling up on dealer lots despite continued subsidies. Ford is losing $90k per EV sold. That’s not a typo. Tesla’s average selling prices have dropped $26k this year. These are numbers that will kill off car companies before 2030. Something has to give...
