jser12 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Well guys, today I went to the auto show for the 13th straight year and saw a bunch of cars in person. Even the IDx and ft-1 before all you suckers. Haha. So here are some pics of the cooler cars I saw. This deffintely looks better in person The 2015 M3 actually dropped 200 pounds this year (That's about 90kg for you Canadians) Porsche finally bringing back the Targa top It had an I6 but isn't confirmed as a final engine Much sex Rocket bunny kit, didn't have the 2jz though. New corvette. Starting price of 75k Me and the IDx (dude who was answering questions didn't know shit about heritage or anything car related) Nismo gt-r Spotted this random guy. Congrats datrod.

freetheoranges Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 IRL IDx pics thanks dude! General consensus about the IDx at the show? Quote Link to comment
jser12 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's better than I thought. It's not bad. But it's not good. A few tweaks and there is a possibility of a good looking car. Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Saw that Mustang concept at the Henry Ford in November. Really small car when you stand next to it. Parked next to the original GT40. What a great car and automotive history. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Fucking IDX still looks like shit. And why does Subaru have to hang so much nose past the front wheel edge?!! Fuck, why not just put the front wheel at the door and stick an 8 foot flatbed in front of it, yeah, that's the ticket!! :sneaky: Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 That FT-1 is preety sweet. I hope to all hell that it does not come with an inline 6. Toyota has never had any luck making a reliable inline 6. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you baiting me? Toyota, not a reliable inline 6? Wait a minute, am I defending Toyota? FUCK TOYOTA!! I'm going to sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment

Name an inline 6 Toyota worth a damn. I dare you. And before you run to say 2JZ-In 5 months time I have done 3 head gasket jobs and condemned 2 more due to severe damage in the rotating assy.

Cpl620 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 i wish i was as cool as Jeremy Clarkson.... In all seriousness, that new Toyota is probably the best thing in a while. heres to hoping its not the same quality as their recent endeavors (the whole scion Brand) Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Says the pompous twat. Damn Jeremy has gotten old. So looking forward to season 21. My parents were on the same flight as he and James May from Kiev to London Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like the current xB. The FR-S is what it is. I can do without the rest of Scion. Especially the iQ. Toyota is boring. The entire line is soulless sans the FJ. Quote Link to comment

The entire line is soulless sans the FJ. Are we talking only toyota or are we including its luxury brand Lexus as well. Because I can think of several Lexus models that are not boring.

Cpl620 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Im just saying the quality of their car is shabby, not saying some aren't cool. But they pretty much perfected the art of building a car that will eventually fall apart. seems a lot of companies are doing that to keep people buying new cars. i just dont want to see it on a gem that this new design seems to be.

flatcat19 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I was trying to leave Lexus out of this. Lexus is not under the same roof as Toyota and Scion are. Toyota's are mechanically sound. For the most part. Horrible trim and plastic. I will say that when a Toyota fails though it is major! 1 Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 LFA and ISF are bad ass New GS isn't a slouch either and it looks great. And I'd say that Japanese car probably have the longest life expectancy of any mass produced, affordable to most people car. Besides, most japanese cars are actually assembled in the US nowadays.

jser12 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 The new Lexus RCF was there and it was pretty awesome looking. Quote Link to comment
