So the Rotary FD is subzero but the Alfa 8C is only cool. They should change places, I mean wtf is wrong with people? The 8C is marvelous and the FD has that awful engine in it.

I am disappoint.

Opinions are opinions... a lot of people value light weight and high revving engines (even if it's an unreliable Rotary).

^ I'm gonna say the LEAF is sub zero.

Everybody is just posting a bunch of fan boy JDM and European cars that everybody wants to own or can't afford.

There are more than just our car, 20 year old Japanese cars, and $400,00+ European cars people...

I can already tell you this is going to be seriously uncool

You can't drive it on the road, you can't drive it on 95% if race tracks because it's to load, so it would scare away any girls within 3 miles of you... and it's the Zonda variant 148450764203x^7

It's essentially 2.1 million dollars of pointlessness

This being said I'd still drive one, kill my self a minute into the lap and be completely satisified entering the perly gates on fire though

Oh, I absolutely acknowledge all of those things. But, do any of them really matter for the average Joe who obviously can't afford one? JUST LOOK AT IT!

CTS-V Wagon


I LOVE these things and want my BRZ, this and an FD RX-7 all together in my garage. Dream lineup.

556hp
6.2L Supercharged V8
0-60mph in 4.0 seconds
6 speed manual or automatic
4250lbs curb weight
Magnetic dampers that provide amazing grip

There is a lot of hate for this car but there is also a lot of love. Non-car people think its just a nerdy wagon. Car guys cower when one pulls up at the traffic light.

I. Want. One!

Drove an automatic and loved it, though I'd definitely want it with the row-your-own option

Figured I would change it up since everybody just wants to post supercars, muscle cars, and 20 year old jdm fanboy cars. We need more variety, even if they aren't necessarily the coolest of cars:

Lexus CT 200h

Engine: 1.8L 4cyl Hybrid
Transmission: CVT
Power output: 98hp & 105 lb-ft
Top speed: 113mph
Layout: FF
Weight: 3,130lbs
0-60mph: 9.8 seconds
MPG: 40/43
