[QUOTE=BF;53025946]I just saw this mesmerising picture of the homologation Panoz Esperante.

But this, it embraces the aggressiveness; it's maddening. What a fuckin car.

Their cars just keep on getting blander with each generation. The 1series almost makes it out but still lags behind. Audi is getting boring aswell, but the A3 line is always perfect for me. Even the sportback looks great, and the sedan is gorgeous. They should had made a coupe version, like the 1series had before, to pair up with the A5. The compact series are a sad stain. Better performance because of less weight, but ugly as sin. Not even the moat hardcore M pack saves it.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;53032857]That's the reason I love kei cars, they're so cute with how small they are.[/QUOTE] I own a Kei car, though I didn't know it classified as one untill now. It's a Suzuki Jimny.

The only difference is mine is black with slightly less fancy trim and rusty wheel hubs. It's a pretty decent car, but it does almost feel slightly toy-like at times, almost like it's not quite a real car. It's got a 1.3L engine which makes it nice and cheap to insure, but it's hilariously slow and underpowered. The suspension is a bit stiff, and it's quite tall and leans a lot in the corners. Despite all its flaws, I still love it.

I used to own a Subaru Domingo [t]https://puu.sh/fkzR7.jpg[/t] It's not classified as a kei truck because it has a 1.2 liter engine, but in Japan they had two versions, the other one came with different bumpers and a 600cc engine and are called Subaru Sambar which is classified as a kei truck

Kia really should have done what some of the other Asian automakers have done, and launched the Stinger under an entirely new badge.

Especially because almost all of them were stating how 'oh this is the most amazing car, it's going to be the car of the year 2017!'. The amount of advertising for it has completely put me off of ever contemplating one.

They were really pulling out all the stops to try and get me to buy one, despite the fact that I don't have a full time job yet after moving to Canada and stuff. Overall, it seems like a well built car, a very eager engine and the same goes for my roommate's Kia Optima as well. Personally I wouldn't see myself altering my main plan (buy a econobox that's virtually bulletproof like a Honda/Toyota that I'll keep till the wheels fall off), but I [I]can[/I] see myself picking up one of these, used, a few years down the line when the sort of person who inevitably buys a Kia and needs to sell it to make some money but also has to deal with their phenomenally shit depreciation inevitably floods the market with them. I'd definitely go for it then as a sort of Sunday driver to thrash about in, because at the end of the day it's still a four seater and that makes it kind of practical. But I'm sure by then, there'll probably be Genesis's and god knows what else to compete with, so even then it's going to be an interesting shootout.
Nobody ever seems to believe me but a 2004 Spectra EX was the most fun car I ever had. Learned to drive stick in it, the car was rotted to hell but hilariously sturdy and nimble. Quick too, amazing how a compact 4-door could drive compared to a 2-door Sunfire GT I later bought that was sluggish and felt like it was going to fall apart if I took a tight corner the way I could in the Kia.
