7 grand for a set of 4 rims isn't actually all that out there on cars in that price range. A set of 4 wheels on some Ferrari models can be twice as much.

This inevitably happens to all market leaders at one point or another. You could kind of see it coming when they killed the Integra back in 2006. The company in general has lost its focus on what made them great in the first place.

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/253666/vws_baby_roadster_is_coming.html 2 door MR roadster with a TDI? I guess the platform is going to be shared with porsche as well, with a new 918 coming out. Either way, should be pretty freakin' sweet.

Lazareth posted:http://jalopnik.com/5660934/scion-fr+s-is-the-new-toyota-ft+86 Soo much fail. $25 grand for a "spiritual" successor to the AE86? Toyota, much like BMW has completely lost the plot in regards to what actually made them successful in the first place.

Crustashio posted:I'm not up on US prices - how much would a WRX 265, or genesis 3.8 cost compared to that? The biggest problem is a $25K MSRP puts it squarely in V6 Mustang territory, which is also RWD.

I'm not even talking about the Genesis Coupe, which would also be competing with the FT-86 in that price range.

I kind of have a feeling that if they made it a liftback the chassis would flex like mad.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:I get the stability control thing because hey, that's lifesaving tech without an easy substitute for most people. You can make arguments for stricter licensing requirements and people learning better car control, but let's face it, this is AMERICA god drat it and people got a right to drive whatever they want whenever they want and all of those ideas are D.o.A. Stability control is also not that expensive to implement. It's not just because this is America and people have a right to drive, it's because it's American and you have to drive to get anywhere unless you're lucky enough to live in a major metro area with decent public transportation. Once the ability to drive isn't an economic necessity for 90% of the American populace then we can start legislating stricter license requirements.

Cream_Filling posted:Sorry if I came off aggressively. Certainly didn't mean it that way. I have a strange fascination with Australian cars because they represent the potential evolutionary outcome of the traditional big American car if that line hadn't been killed off in the 80s. Also, the forbidden fruit angle, since all most Aussies do is complain about them as cars for fleets and rednecks. Nah its all cool.

grover posted:No, that's what I want to see. Instead, we got a Giulietta that's larger and heavier and with softened suspension. There are worse cars out there, for sure, but is it too much to hope for the manufacturers to roll out actual light weight compact sporty cars with perky engines? Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I'd love to see more manufacturers come out with small sporty cars like the Miata and BRZ/FR-S, but with inexpensive powerful engines like you can get on a $23 Mustang. Is that too much to hope for? Or will we forever be given econoboxes with body kits? lmao if you think stuffing a 300HP motor in a chassis the size of a miata/brz while maintaining the handling qualities that make those cars fun to drive is even close to possible for the amount of money those econoboxes with body kits are going for.
