Why didn't our brand appeal more to you young enthusiasts?
>>15207754
lol but I'll respond, mostly because you were all rice and no beef.
Gotta have the beef to back up the rice. Also, had the TC been FR it would of been much more praised.
Also, you should of tried to be a little more than a boardroom brand.
>>15207754
You took the car that was the supposed successor to the Celica and put a Camry engine in it.
I'll bite
Most people saw scions as shitty ugly econoboxes.
You needed to do more to appeal to enthusiasts. Make some cars with drivetrains aside from FF, use better engines etc.
I'm aware the FRS was FR, but the rest werent.
I'm looking to buy a used sports car that's stick shift. I'm 25 and been driving a 99 Toyota Corolla for 9 years and I'm tired of having it.
Any suggestions?
I was looking at a cool looking eclipse. But I read in an article that said it's predominantly a car that women drive. The newer bubbly models look girly but the older models looks cool.
Was also looking to get a Mazda rx 7 or 8. They look kickass.
But I've always wanted an Audi. Maybe an A4 or a cool S4.
Ford mustang was my #1 choice but my gf just bought...

Get an aw11, op

Good car if you wanna say you don't have a miata.
Aftermarket isn't huge, only reason to get one would be if you can get one of the higher trim 4 cylinders or one with a v6
>Rx7/8
rotaries are fun, however your MPG will be on the high side 15 mpg. If gas isn't an issue, I'd pick this.
>Audi
Don't buy euro cars unless you have money to fix them. Parts for euro cars are across the board more expensive than a comparable japanobox or american...

Nice I'll look into some of those cars thanks

Do non-Americans really spend this much time thinking about Americans?
That's weird.

Looking for a daily driver, and these just have everything i want. Might even get a sedan instead of a coupe.

nope, buy it outright.

Why not just buy it outright?

What do you think is the cheapest car that could outrun a 2014 police charger is? They drive them where I live an always wondered how fast they really are. I'm not a fan of dodge so I don't know anything about them
Could they outrun a 04 stock cobra on a straight highway for instance?
The police chargers with the interceptors? The ones with the Hemi/AWD Charger do 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
I think the Cobra is like 4.5 or something close, but with the police package they'd probably get you after a while.
>>15210586
That do 5.5 to 60, slower than my 370z by a long shot
>>15210586
Yeah. 4.4 0-60 for 04.
Revisited this game and Zero today. Cant believe how bad they aged.
>i am so autistic i cant get past Zero's lack of realistic cars
>the fact that every civilian car on the third game is a yellow van gets to me
>the fact that every car its a car with top tier rollcage/reinforced chassis in monocolor with, sometimes stock body kit, sometimes top body kit, makes me think the devs didn't bother to make cars unique in their own way

That's what I was going to recommend.
In the meantime, Genki is working on a new installment, but no word on a release date yet.
>>15213580
No. No they aint. Done a little bit of reserach. After their twitter post a year ago saying that they might try to create a new game in the saga if they get enough followers there was no official statement. Then again, i dont read japanese, but if they actually came out and said "we have decided to start making the game" it would be more famous than old games news sites saying that Genki is thinking about it. I hope they are, tho.
Is the 360 game that good? i am autistic for realism and good driving...

Anyone has confirmation from Genki about the new game?

unless you want your door panels dinged by dumbasses in the other parking spots, it makes sense to park in the middle like that. Why the back end is so far out I have no idea
