Your Car Of The Year?

[2o6]

I've been examined by a mental health professional, and they could offer no official diagnosis. However, any 500 other than an Abarth seriously needs to get lowered in price because I sure not paying $20,000 for something my $11,000 Accent can outperform in every area savr forbthr quirky cute styling dept.

The 500 starts at 15K.

Yeah, STARTS. And do you think the dealers stock any base
models? One or two, maybe.

[Onslaught]

I don't see what the 500 brings to the table. And it's really not "new."

Dealers probably have plenty of base models.

It's new in the sense, because it's the first City Car for the USA. (aside from the fortwo)

The first? I don't think so.

Second just means the first after the first.

Before you talk out of your ass anymore, I should tell you that I've already searched for a 500 that isn't massivley inflated in price. Last time I looked, they were ridiculous. $17-22k. No thanks. I'll wait until the novelty wears off before I look again.

Also, J-LO just came out on the AMA with her stupid Fiat 500 product placement. I won't buy one unless she has a wardrobe malfunction.

[Eye of the Tiger]

You know I love the Cinquecento, or at least thr idea of it, but the Veloster is something I could really live with.

[Laconian]

If only it drove like something more special. The reviews have been a downer, because I love the way the thing looks.

[Laconian]

Also, my contribution: Acura TSX Wagon. It's revolutionized the way we think about sport and wagonry.


Just kidding, I STILL haven't seen a single one outside of ours!

I don't usually partake in dishonest test drives, but I might have to see this for myself.

I do it all the time.

It will wreck basically any cars from your home country around your famous racetrack...

Nice. I should buy one so I'll get some respect, yo!

Having spent an entire day at the LA Show, and had a good look a everything, here are my thoughts:

My natural bias would be to nominate the Abarth 500, as I know how much it is........

However, the production car that I most liked, without question, was the Audi S7. Just what I am looking for - discrete mods over standard but with an engine that is probably nearly as good as the V10.

Lower down the price bracket, I did like the new Passat, more than the European ones, surprisingly, as they are just terminally dull.

I nominate the Kia Rio for "most improved" car of the year. It is a revelation compared to the old one.

You are one strange individual.

It's fucking hideous.  Like I said, it's in the list of the top three worst looking cars on sale today.

Oddly enough, the magical styling isn't even in the top 10 reasons why I choose it as car of the year. Other people seem to think the styling is the primary feature of the car, which is something I will never understand.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Well, I finally found a near-reasonable price on a 500. $14k and change. Blows my mind. Still have to have an Abarth Essess.

Isn't it just a very expensive Elantra with a stupid body on it?

It's a sporty Accent.

I like the Veloster in person, but not in pictures.

Yea its def got a presence that pictures don't capture. It's a good looking car.

Even worse.
