Nope. Has to be tuned to run on 87 octane because it would be used for irresponsible things if I were to built it within the next 20 years.

But where's the fun in that.

i say get an avalon, and just put the rwd camry powertrain in there. that way, you can shred tires, in comfort

But R35.

 

In filling up and getting the fuck outta dodge  

besides, i'm sure an r35 powertrain can still fetch for close to 20, maybe even 30 grand in 50 years time.

I mean, it'd be the world's wildest police chase for like.. a few blocks.

What could be better than say a Lincon Town Car with an LS7, possibly a super charger or twin turbos. I want to be able to light up a cubin cigar in the back while doing the quarter mile... In luxury B)

LT4.. Though I've always liked the idea of buying a Town Car with the 4.6L and throwing in a supercharged 5.0.

Just give it time. That won't be a problem.  

and what if human driven cars are banned 50 years from now, even project cars? what are you gonna do then? because i doubt the gov't will let us keep our gas powered cars.

no, figure out a way to make the cars look dangerous. So we can drive ourselves again

[RevoltTrain]

Gonna pick up a set of these when I get my aero wheels. I can't wait

True... Or make them think it's electric and self driven but really running e85 with a 6 speed manual

i'm probably gonna hack into the computer system driving the self-driving aspect of the car, and program it so it hits other cars while driving, without me. like it will spontaneously just start itself up and drive onto a main road then start hitting other people. and i have to make it so it's untraceable, since i don't wanna be held liable for it.

good luck with that...

with how they want to program the cars to talk to each other and stuff so there's no stopping at intersections anymore... it'll be impossible to drive at all one day

 

that's still a good ways off though.. I hope

so it seems like the camry has been redesigned from the ground up for 2018, even though it's the beginning of 2017. http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/01/can-the-camry-be-cool/ 

it looks nice, but still no manual (toyota dropped the manual on the camry for 2 generations now) and fwd just makes it more boring.

Looks disgusting, like pretty much all Toyotas now.

i heard like fully autonomous driving is like a good 20-30 years away. sounds like a long time, but really, it's closer than you think. i'm not ready to give up driving. it sucks how people think driving is more of a chore than a hobby. i think it's the carmakers' fault for creating such boring cars.

idk, i kinda like it. though the fwd and no manual option put me off.

I didn't like it either... the body design is fine but I know it's gonna be an "Affordable" car so it's gonna have a lot of cheap materials on the inside and in general just feel "cheap"

 

Newer honda's bother me with this too... they just don't feel right

 

plus it'll be boring. there's just nothing fun about driving a camry... it's just "a car" with no perks. Sure the V6 gives it more oomph but it's kinda meaningless

It will be ready but not many people will use it full time. Our country is too built around our roads to make it mandatory. 

i'm pretty sure it will be mandatory, since i'm sure our county wants to show the world that their cars are the "safest" so they don't want humans interfering with this sense of perfect safety. but i'm totally not on board with self driving cars, at all. i wish i can protest against these companies advocating it, since i'm sure it's mostly the lazy people who hate driving want self driving.

really the only good japanese companies that make fun and pretty good cars these days are nissan and mazda. well, nissan is iffy. they just need another affordable rwd sportscar to succeed the silvia (i really desperately want an silvia s16  to happen) and i think they' can be acceptable in my book. mazda is definitely very good, regardless of what time period. mazdas today nailed the styling aspect, and their interiors don't look like cheap crap compared to toyota, and they make every car fun to drive, even their largest cx-9.

The top one is the grill I want to buy later this year (in black not chrome) but for comparison how do you guys think the mesh will look with the Aero wheels and the center caps I posted?

Well it being fwd and not having a manual was given. I'm just saying that I think it looks terrible and try hard. Toyota's designing prior to the current decade was conservative, which worked because it fit the cars. With the recent generation cars it seems like Toyota decided they have to be hip and cool. Then took it to the extreme with aggressive body lines, ANGRY HEADLIGHTS, and quad outlet exhaust... which likely is 3 dummy tips and one actual tip.

Yes, but you also operate almost on teenage angst between the two extremes of "thats totalleh fucking edgy as fuhck breh" and "TRIGGERED OMG FUCK THIS GUY AND HIS PRIVELAGE"

 

150 years, maybe. 50, not a fucking chance in hell.

nah, when it comes to car, i'm actually very old school. but i'm pretty trendy when it comes to the real world. i'm pretty old school with cars because cars are changing real hard in the future, and it's not for the better.

i think i'm kinda with you there. i think toyota's targeting the wrong demographic with these newly redesigned cars with their hip edges. i think if they smoothed out their lines, and didn't try as hard to style, like with the latest corolla, i think they could sell more cars than intended. but i still think my 2010 corolla looks much better than a brand new 'rolla, purely because toyota didn't overshoot the looks of it. it's a bit conservative, but it actually still looks pretty good for its looks, without looking too much like a grandma car.

wow, @JoaoPRSousa was actually right, we did end up blowing up this thread in a short amount of time. though i don't think alwaysfsx started this. looks like i might've started this oops
