Cheap, good looking, real motor, very good transmission, excellent ride quality, comfy, quiet, and you can load them up if you want. Yeah not much to complain about there, just the size they're kind of barge-y.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 2:34 pmCame loaded with 20" great looking ramz

I haven't seen a in several days. How do people live here?
Lots of French cars, some German cars, and almost zero AZN or murican cars. The only murican stuff I've seen has been a purple PT cruiser, a fiesta ST, a couple of base fiestas, and a couple of mondeos (fusion). The fusion looks yuuuuuge over here compared to the normal cars. Lots of Audi A1s for the semi- folks too. Zero EVs, few hybrids, lots of little diesels. Many of the scooters/bikes are still 2-strokes too.

Can't sell americans car's in Communist Europe when they slap a bunch of Tariffs on them making them incredibly unprofitable, including their BS carbon/engine size tax structure.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:58 pm I haven't seen a in several days. How do people live here?

Oh, I also saw a Renegade on the road and in a showroom that was joint between them and Alfa.
There are no lots, only showrooms from which you can order a car... and some new stuff is under 10k EUR. Gas is 1.7 EUR/L which must be around $7/gal. ownershit would be but at least it only displaces 1.3 L for tax purposes.

Truks are essentially cost as much as say a Huracan there and in Europe (as well as in most countries) you need to have a permit to own it if you use it for work or as a farmer, not anyone with a DL can purchase it regardless of how much money you have.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:58 pm I haven't seen a in several days.

More Supra. Sorry if this is a repost. For sure want to test! -- https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/20 ... type-drive
Feels Right
We were fully expecting the Supra to be much like a modern BMW, which is to say plenty capable but a little numb. Instead, there is a smoothness to the Supra that we haven't felt in a BMW in years. Turn-in is crisp without being too heavy. The claimed 50/50 front/rear weight distribution—there's a spec—lends itself to tuning for minimal understeer, while an electronically controlled limited-slip differential ensures great traction on corner exit. The transmission's logic in Sport mode makes shifting with the paddles an exercise in vanity.

Non-homologated racekor/tracktoy.
I think it's neat to see Porsche doing something like that.
I still don't see the R8 resemblance.
Thanks for the deets on the car, i enjoyed that post.
Yeah the R8 comment was , once I focused on the roof line etc it wiped out the R8 look. I think because its fattened up, and the front clip is shaped the way it was that I kind of slant eyed a low, wide r8ish crossbreed or something.
