Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I'd disagree, the 2500 looks much much worse. The 1500 is the regular civic, and the 2500 is the civic type r for styling. 

If you insist

literally just why...... i used to like the silverado HD trucks. now i'd be more than happy with a tundra, even if it's less capable than one. at least toyota hasn't gone full on ugly with their trucks yet. their cars have been radically styled, yet the utility vehicles have avoided it. nice.

85hp on a 600CC bike is a lot! derp I know how to read.

 

That RAM grille is bad, but that Chevy grill puts pretty much everything I've ever seen to shame. Still glad I like Ford (and glad they just updated their trucks a couple years ago, so I have another year or two before I have to be scared).

The RAM still doesn't look bad to me. Neither does the Shitrolet 1500.

if I go evo again, it'll be an 8 or 9... only way it'd be a X is if I come across a deal thats literally a steal... also no compound turbo, nothing crazy power wise, but definitely MCS suspension...

I really want either an Evo 9 wagon with the 5 speed manual or a Ralliart Lancer hatch with the SST from the evo x generation which is basically a not as powerful and not as aggressive evo hatch

as much as i like wagons, and the lancer evo, i actually don't like the wagon that much. i think the back is just too  boxy for a wagon, especially when it's kinda curvy up front. If it's a bit more rounded in the rear, it'd probably be a more attractive wagon.

So I went to the Tampa Bay international car show last month to look for a future upgrade to my 2014 Lexus GS 350 F-sport pk. After looking around the whole place an sitting  dozens of cars I was hard pressed to find something that was more comfortable then what I already own.  The only cars that I found to be somewhat decent becides Lexus's offerings were the Mercedes S550, Kia stinger, Kia K900, and Genesis G70.  I was very disappointed with all the other cars that were avalable at the show all the seats and interiors felt hard,  cheap or boring.  So my question is has anyone been in any modern car that was comfortable, sporty, and loaded with good tech?

I usually like both hatches and wagons, but those are both pretty ugly. I’d take a 9 before a 10 regardless though lol (who wouldn’t)

To be fair, you drive a nice car. You've just got to lower you're standards--like me. Mine are so low that I think even a Corrola interior is the bees knees. 

Thats the thing though old Chysler Sebring had a nice interior that was comfortable and  allot of older cars had nice soft leather and cloth seats now they are all hard and made out of ruff textures.  I Have been in several Audis, BMW, Mercedes and im not sure if it was becouse I was in a base model or what but the interiors did not impress me what so ever.

Lexus interiors tbf are already nice, so you are kinda having high expectations already. but really a modern car that would fit these categories (to me anyway) would be a v6 camry xse, mainly the newest ones. sporty for a camry since 300hp in a camry ain't a joke, has tech that makes it feel up to date, and has pretty soft seating too. and you have the reliability as a bonus, since that is the reputation toyotas have.
