I was thinking 500 Abarth :lolol: they are both horrible vehicles that give you a woody for some reason.
Gives me a :flaccid: but I'm admittedly an fca hater

I just want a 500 Abarth to start and rev and drive around town to hear the exhaust. Nothing else.

Terrible seating position.

Yeah, when I looked at the Frontier, I gazed around the showroom and said, "Fuck. Just about everything in here is at least a decade old."

Isn't that all you really do with a car on public roads anyway? I'm worried about reliability, otherwise I'd consider buying one.

And honda is making the Civic Sport, Civic Si, Civic Type R, Acura NSX. Plenty of A spec acuras etc...

Why rain down the hate on Honda when they have more "sportyness" in their lineup, outside of the Sole Miata as a beacon for Mazderp.
At least Mazda has a beacon?

Why the hate for Mazda? Good steering feel across the board, taut handling, above-average refinement in the current crop of product, and nice designs? The only thing they've been missing is outright power. But that's not Mazda's ethos.
I am more than slightly interested in the 3. With a set of wheels/tires and swaybar(s), I’m willing to bet that it’s pretty fun.

Reliability on the Abarth 500 seems pretty decent in later years, and they're stupid cheap.
One of these cars does not have the hood open :trollface:

I have to open my hood at every stop on those trips and still consider the Corvette to be pretty robust.

That’s because the hood can’t hold back all of those freedoms.
