I think we should add the S2000 to the list.

Did you really just try to shorten the S5's name by putting x5? :lol:

I don't care for the miata because they are always so damn slow, I want some punch in the right pedal.

Yeah I'd want a turbo or V8 swap.

I've never heard of anyone say anything bad about the Porsche Boxter or Porsche Cayman.  I don't think anyone who posts on this forum owns one though.

I really haven't seen anyone rag on Accord sedans, either in 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder form.

Although not talked about much, I've never seen anyone dislike a Toyota Tacoma.

I can agree to those.

Faster than A5/S5/RS5

S4 is solid though. Hoping they go with a hot V turbo on the V6 next go round, just cause. Not a fan of AWD either but it's a good car, can't take that away from it.

Boxsters I like.  A Cayman, for what it is, is admirable enough.  As for the others mentioned, most people don't talk much about their refrigerators either. :huh:

Never been a fan of the A5/S5/RS5 or the R8. x5's back seat is useless, and it doesn't look good. I am also thinking it might be HEAVIER than the x4, making it completely redundant.
Doesn't look good?  Yeah, ooooookay.



QuoteI saw an R8 at one of my old jobs. It was too wide. I also think it's too heavy. Struggling to come up with a reason to get one over a 911.
Too wide?  It's only 2" wider than the 911 and 1.25" narrower than a Ferrari 458.

No. No. Nothing like a plus sized Outback. Everything like a minivan made uglier and less useful, while having no tangible, or intangible advantages.

I had a 987 Boxster S.  It was a great car.  Sharper handling, quicker, more comfortable, better protection from the elements with the top down, et al than my Z4.  But I don't see myself choosing a Boxster over the Z4.  The Z4's just more fun, rawer. 

Saw a new Boxster today.  Damn, why are small cars so big now?  It felt like it towered over my car when I pulled alongside.

Only problem with the Audi lineup is that they looked great 4-5 years ago and they still do, but it's no longer fresh and exciting. They desperately need to move on.

We do have two subforums devoted to mainstreamers and trucks.  Someone or another makes a disparaging comment about a Camry, probably the most appliance like of all vehicles, pretty much daily on this forum. 

The Accord, on the other hand, is almost never disparaged although some have commented that it is getting rather bloated through the generations.  Still, for the most part, it's a pretty much universally respected car. 

People talk about pickup trucks all the time on this forum?!  I've never heard anyone say anything bad about a Tacoma.

The ability to piss off random strangers just by your presence is always an intangible advantage.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
