Looks like a Viper with a Taurus nose photoshopped onto it.

Fun thread. I don't really follow anything outside of here closely. I will have to get back as I see the contenders pop in from y'all.

For me though, so far:

Jimny, GR Yaris, 135i five door from 10 years ago

I like cars you'd actually buy more, myself.

Jimny is my number one choice as well because I want a :jeep: but am too :scrooge: It is a fun little thing. We were supposed to be renting one on our Iceland trip back at the end of March :pouroneout:

GR Toyota is coming here... BTW Let's see who will actually buy it. 267hp 3 cylinder... AWD... probably 30-35k if I had to guess :doe:

At those stats it's pretty darn compelling :iono:

I find the utes are :disgust: personally, but different strokes and all that. Also, everyone here is really going :dedong: on the :mk6: roots wanting elongated versions of cars we've all already owned. I would rather have a regular GTI than a diesel or wagon version :wrong:

I don't really see the point of a R wagon, but I get it. My mini for example domes in a 4 door version that has AWD, but it adds 700lbs. :disgust:

:dat: I don't want the extra weight and just don't haul the illusive "things" that most here seem to. I don't recall ever really needing more space than my Corvette has in the four+ years that it was my only vehicle.

As a kid growing up in Turkey, I had some fond memories growing up in wagons. My grandpa had a fiat wagon that's RWD, loved riding in the cargo area. One of my dads friend had another Fiat wagon but it's fwd, took a road trip to Greece one time with an assload of luggage. In preschool, we were all transported by the same fiat wagon my grandpa drove along with probably 7-8 of us in the trunk area, and in elementary school each kid that rides in the same "bus" well 6 row passenger vans, have turns riding a Peugeot station wagon for 2 weeks? that was owned by one of our gym teachers.

like this

But to be honest, I never really had any reasons to own a wagon on a regular basis, with the exception for an alternative to an SUV that can carry lot of luggages/cargo and stuff with the compromise of still having a fun car all in one package.

Having lived here just over a year now, I’ve realized I don’t want a Canaro SS and actually wish I could buy a cheap hot hatch like a new Fiesta ST or Clio RS.

So.. this.

That's a FWD open diff big 4 door sedan, not a little AWD 3 door hatch. We don't get the fun small cars here.

I’d legit buy the Euro FiST. Or possibly an A45 AMG if they were sold here.

Presumably in the corolla hatch, cause big ol betty or 6 foot chad couldn't fit in the Yaris

A lot of these are attainable, :doe: . Polo's, R's, Fists, Pug 208's, etc.
