fav. new car

[INTMD8]

I'm sure the trans is lightning fast, just don't want it  

Manual trans isn't the fastest but I enjoy them the most.   (especially with a Ferrari engine)

Ive been looking at Porsche 911s as well (now those are well worth the $) but as far as I can tell, its impossible to get a true manual now. they all come with the PDK 7 speed.

You can still get a manual 911.  For a while they only had PDK in the GT3 but are now available again in manual. (Though GT3RS I believe is still PDK)

I think my favorite new car would be a truck.

This is a hell of a thread resurrection, but my favorite new cars are:

Miata


Gt86


Lexus LC (probably my favorite new car of 2018


Colorado ZR2


M2


F type


Zl1 Camaro (I was put off by the ridiculous styling initially, but after getting to flog a 16 SS on some canyon roads, id say the alpha platform is the best handling pony car in the class (in my opinion.)  The chassis tuning is phenomenal.

Dude, so much yes on the FRS/BRZ.

[JR]

They are fantastic, aren't they? It's as close as we can get to a spiritual successor of all the great, lightweight rwd Japanese coupes of the 90s.

Some of the earlier ones have dropped down to 15k or so on the used market. That is a lot of fun for a small amount of money.

My only complaint is, I wish they had made it a hatchback instead of a coupe, but I could get over that. They are wonderful.

I think they are a really neat car but never really liked the Subaru engine sound.  Would prefer a high rpm Toyota engine myself

[Fitz73Chrgr]

I'd really like to have a new GT350 or the upcoming GT500.

I'm too much of a blue collar guy to like any foreign cars.  There is this one that's pretty quick:

[alfaitalia]

Lucky to have that choice......in the UK unless you want a Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Lotus or a Range Rover there are not a lot of mainstream cars built in the UK...Even the ones that are have Honda, Nissan or Toyota badges on...LOL!

[seaweed]

If i had enough money i would buy a new Tesla and change the drivetrain to a 440 sixpack and straight 3" pipes.
But for now im just out looking for a 2011-2015 Durango to come in my pricerange.

[Charger_Fan]

Right now, my favorite new car is...well...my NEW car! I wish it was an SHO, but I couldn't swing that much dough at this time. It's a 2017 Taurus Limited model.
First morning home...


About 3 weeks later...

[Mytur Binsdirti]

One of these might be fun...

[alfaitalia]

I don't recognise that badge (US only?)...what are they?

[INTMD8]

It's an NSX. 

I would rather have an old one myself.

[alfaitalia]

Got it.............they come with Honda badges here! There are £143,000 here. Cant see that much cash in them to be honest. You could by a thoroughbred (Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini) for that sort of money. I would rather have a Audi R8 V10 and change rather than that Hybrid nonsense!!

You forgot Morgan.

[alfaitalia]

Lol....deliberately!

The problem with the new Lexus' is that there's too much grille.......




And it looks like Darth Vader's mask.....

[JR]

I agree the Lexus corporate face grille is terrible on most of their products.

But most of their products had the grille added later as an afterthought. The LC was designed with it from the start. I don't mind it on this car. A dark color works well with it and hides the grille too.





Plus, this interior is amazing.





I love this car. The ultimate in Japanese quality and perfection. And built from the start to be a Grand Touring car, not a hardcore performance car.

Think of it as a Japanese Aston Martin. Or a Grand Seiko watch on four wheels. I love this thing.

Of course, I'm 100 grand shy of over owning one.

My wife's 2013 ES350 has been a great car.

Even with the mega grill it is a pretty car. Agreed on the interior. My biggest gripe is the gearing.  I got rid of my IS-F because I couldn't stand the trans. (8speed)

This car is a 10 speed auto with 4 overdrive gears and a 2.94 rear end.  Ugh, no thanks.
