Looks like a dog taking a pee.   :lol:


Seriously the Koreans are building some respectible cars nowadays.

Whoops, I was looking at the car pic in your sig when I posted that.

But Korean cars have no SOUL!  The name is as inappropriate as the Mitsubishi Carisma, a car severely lacking the attribute which it was named after.

I really don't care what the rest of it looks like.  I simply can't be bothered.

I have a question. What makes a car have soul, or soulless?

Yeah, it would've been cool if they called it the Seoul.

Both are not the best in their class. Both are notable cars. Both have record sales, and at one point have owned their respective markets.

Then you'd have idiots that's confuse North Korea with South Korea, and sales would tank.

If you don't know when a car has soul and when one doesn't then you need to drive a few more cars with soul.

It's more fun than an Enzo to drive through the twisties, because of the thrill of hanging for your life from the high level of body roll that makes you feel like you're going to skid off the road.

Yes, the Camry is a bore to drive. I'm the resident Camry troll, but yes they're boring.

Camries seem to be made for drivers that want minimal involvement and with newer models, relative isolation from the road.
So yes, they are boring.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Either it's the picture quality of one of the spy shots, but this looks like it's going to be a bit on the tall side for a small car... This is coming over to the US right (since it probably is targeted at the Scions)

NomisR

Speaking of Scions though, anyone notice the Scion hype has died down tremendously?  I haven't seen a lot of the new Scions out lately especially the new xoB.

I guess people got over the that it looks different hype and decided it's just another box.

They're pretty practical though. I know a musician who has one and I couldn't believe all the crap he could haul in it.
