thats so sad. takes me 4 hours of death defying curvy roads in any direction to leave my area. would trade you roads for a week. and no ice as long as you don't go east.

Hardcore Joe - "Only thing I like about this car is the chassis. Everything else has to go. I'm going FI, LSX or 2JZ swap!"

Others - "Hmm what so special about it? It's just another entry-level sports car"
pretty much nailed it. good thing i am the average joe

It gave them better profit margins, but the savings weren't passed on to the consumer. Instead you got worse picture quality at the same price, justified by adding 3D or some other gimmick.

The smart feature is quite good, but I think most people have a Game console, DVD/Bluray player, or some other device that already has all the smart features. If you need a secondary bedroom TV the smart features do make a whole lot of sense.
Yup, I've got none of that in my bedroom. I do have my laptop, but the smart TV was real handy when both my hard drives in the laptop decided to crash

There's a guy in my complex who owns a new black GTI. Still has paper plates. I've caught him twice longingly staring at my Raven FR-S with that look a dude has who is out with his perfectly ok S.O. when some 12/10 piece walks by size nothing shorts and tube top. A GTI will never get that.
