SUV's and NEW cars i like.

I'm posting this here because, well it's home.

The only suv(s) i like are the Lexus RX300 , and the NEW RX330, ******* nice machines. Also the BMW R34 or whatever it's called. I like how the 350z 's look, pretty ******* cool IMO. The RX8 is alright, i'm not jumping through hoops about it, rotory and all. The NEW chevy RETRO truck with the retractable top looks pretty sick, i even think the new beatle (vw) looks cool.
and of coarse the Autounion( audi ) TT's are my favorites.

imo, the beetle is a p.o.s. the other cars are just ok, the rx-8 is the best one out of the cars you named.

They're way more relaxed in this forum compared to the others methinks.

At any rate, I absolutely love the S2000, having seen one prove it's sporting nature at the AutoX course this weekend.

The RX-8 is nice, but Mazda better get the power issue solved. There's no way that car is even making 210 hp, let alone the new revised 238 hp.

I really like the new Echo hatchback. It looks neat, and should be quite capable around town and on the autoX course.

And of course, there's the Mazda6. That thing's just plain cool looking, plus it has the guts to back up the looks.

i hate SUV's and mos the people that drive them. seriously, peoples IQ drops to 2 when they get in the drivers seat of an SUV. first 3 thoughts that enter their heads are 1)"i got the bigger engine, i'll just pass you even if you are doin 20mph over or i'll die tring" 2)"bigger is better, my vehilce is bigger than yours there making it better" 3) "get out my way or i'll run you over, it won't hurt me b/c i'm in this huge ****** tank" i swear it doesn't matter who they are. i let my friends dad drive my car around the block, he drove it nice and said some good things about it. and i thought he was a very good driver. he got in his SUV to follow me and my friend across town. he was never further than 10 ft from my bumber, always had it floored and took turns at speeds that would just about tip the damn thing over. he ran red lights, speeded, ran out infront of people, cut people off, probably didn't even know there was a turn signal indicator in the thing, and of course almosted assholed me 3 times. i don't like SUVs. it's like the Tank for the people. they think nothing short of a 55 caliper gun round is gona hurt that thing.

My dad owns an SUV, i keep telling him to trade it in and not have such a monstrosity in his driveway. If you have ever listened to teh radio commercials in GTA:3 they talk about the Mibatsu Monstrosity! It is hilarious things like :
We lost little Joey in the thing for an hour!
or
I need a vehicle that can pass the Arctic Tundra for my 2 blocks drive to work... it just makes me feel better!
Quite hilarious. My environmental ethics class had to put a ban on anyone saying SUV because the class would never end with everyone getting on their soap box about global warming. I added to the talk back in that time, but i also had a TOyota Corolla back in that time too. Now i own a car that has just the same gas mileage

SUVs are road bullies.

The new T-bird is a good looking car, and a refreshing change from everything else.

I raced a NA 350Z yesterday on Academy @ Colo Spgs, I was beating his happy ****. The driver looked like a fairy. The car looked good to me, in my mirror. LOL

I agree on the SUV front. Of course, in my suburb, all the little rich bitch moms have to drive the BIG SUVs (Navigators, Suburban) and they straddle two lanes at 10 mph under the posted limit while talking on their cell phones. Don't get me started...

New T-bird is sweet! Pays homage to the past yet unique and fresh. I'd take on in a minute!

Ok I join everyone about the SUV hating, accept for 3 acceptions.
1. BMW X5
2. Any land rover
3. The Porsche Cayanne. Cause every car/Suv ought to handel like a sports car, and have a 4560 horse twin turbo V8

Cars,
My abslute favorite (setting asside all rotary cars) is the Corvette Z06, in a nice bright yellow.
The car I am most likely to buy though, is the Rx-8, or the Subaru STI.

But then again I receantly bought a morotcycle, and I am about to need something bigger. Soo I guess a that throws a huge monkey wrench into the whole list.

No mods, I heard him hammer down, and he was pushing some high rpm's, I was in 3rd hammer down. Couldn't tell you my rpm's since my tach isn't working. We only got up to around 65-70 in a 45.
[edit] All with 170k+ miles on my engine, and a slipping slutch. :P

I'd go with a new WRX STi. Incredibly quick, and all wheel drive is nice. That or an RX-8. I would wait to see if a TT came out on the RX-8 first though.
