The only nice car, but expensive like hell!

SlikNik · 12-31-2009, 06:41 PM

The Uncle Bens Rice Classic line is too funny

lemansz20 · 12-31-2009, 08:03 PM

The R8 spyder is just gorgeous, man I wish I had the funds for that car.

I don't care how great that LFA is, I would never pay $400 grand for a Toyota.

If I had $400K to drop on a car I would seriously consider the Lexus. Or maybe five GT-Rs heh heh.

Forget the R8 spyder. No roll bars means no track days.

I heard the Fiesta (and more Fords to follow) have a new and pretty good feature. On the turn signal lever it has and extra function. Tap it and you get 3 turn signal flashes automatically, latch it and it works like normal where it signals until auto-cancelled. On a car like the Z that 3 flash thing would be nice for passing.

This feature is far from new. The German brands have done this for years.

I actually think it's ugly, JMO.

IMO it looks good, just need to see it in another color probably.
