Oh gosh no, kill it please....soon they will come out with a Prius competitor.

Yes.

I agree with everything in this post.

the only Asian cars that strike me as very attractive would be the Mitsubishi Lancer, Acura NSX, Lexus LFA, and Scion FR-S

German cars, on the other hand, are amazing

That Merc is meh, but the i8? Yes please, it gets a flippin' 93 MPG (I could be off a few MPGs), top speed of 155!

Let's be honest, that's a loving HOT car.

I mean, mines not NISMO but I agree.

NISMO really doesn't change much, just better break pads and it's supposed to be lighter, with a little more visual spice on the interior.

The valve timings are a bit different and it results in a few more horses. The exhaust is a little better quality, it's a true dual exhaust instead of a Y pipe, manual only, bigger brakes as you said, bigger spoiler for more down force, stronger sway bars for faster cornering, different rims, and a whole bunch of other little things. I'm personally not a fan of the body changes, what I am a fan of is the Aero body kit for the 370z.

that acura is really gross. and imo the tc looks far better than the fr-s
the lancer looks. idk how to explain it. it looks like a family car trying to be a performance car
and I just don't really like any lexus cars

That Merc is meh, but the i8? Yes please

I hate that
it's like, BMW is trying way too hard with that car and it just turns out ugly
the BMW below that one, however, looks great

I think the i8 is lovey. So is the FR-S/BRZ. I really like most Asian cars. German cars look too.. idk, normal. They're all pretty much the same thing, smooth/sleek looking sedans or coupes with a few stylish hard edges. Asian cars just seem more creative to me, like the 370z is just about the smoothest car on the market. It's hard to find a single hard line on the entire body of the car. The LFA has this cool geometric design thing going on with tons of hard edges that make it look like it's made out of triangles or something cool. The FR-S has got this cool, slammed look. It's got an aggressive face with a lean body that looks like a cheetah waiting to pounce. Then on the German side you've got the M3, which looks good and all, but it also looks a whole lot like a generic family sedan with a door removed. Idk, I just like sports cars with a more distinctive look, and there's definitely good looking German cars, but I still like Asian cars better.

I don't like Lancers.  I like these cars too.  Probably the SL63 best of them all, but my most favorite German car may be the Mercedes C 63 AMG

Yes. <3

Ha, this really col thing happened today. I was with my friend in his GT-R and the road we were on opened up into 2 lanes, so he took the empty lane and GUNNED it. Right as we gunned it we passed a Mercedes convertible filled with teen girls our age. So, we're going at like 100 down this road over like 2 miles, weaving through traffic without going under 90 (speed limit 45) and finally we hit a red light so we stop. Five seconds later, that Merc pulls up next to us. The girl driving looks at us, gives us a sassy look, and flips us off. All I gotta say is any girl that could keep up with what we were doing is a good driver.

I hate when people (especially parents) are concerned with cylinder count rather than actual power. My rule when I was getting a car was 'no v8s' (it was assumed that larger cylinder banks were also restricted) so what I ended up doing (somewhat unintentionally) was getting pretty much the biggest v6 you can that turns out a stuffload of power. Neither me nor my mom knew how powerful my car actually was until after we'd purchased it.

Walking backwards here...

No Mustang 5.0s, they are too dangerous and too fast.  Let's go get a Jaguar XJ220 (V6 engine)

i dont like mustangs to much. everyone and their grandma has one.

I agree. The only Mustangs I even blink at are Shelby Cobra GT500s.
