2012 is too long of a wait
 
Are any of you guys deciding on skipping this car because i am, i would have hoped for a 2011 (early) but this isn't going to happen.

I want a new car because my civic is done for this winter(beater).

I have decided to buy a Nissan 370z, a bit pricey and heavy but still a very nice car.

Good bye to all you guys and i hope you guys enjoy this car although a long wait.

I will still visit time to time, :bonk:

2012s ok for me. means it'll be out by end 2011.
gives me some time to save up more $$$$$$

Mid 2011-early 2012 is fine for me. Just hope that no-one beats them to market to tempt me into buying something else.

fernan2 03-03-2010 10:04 AM

im going to wait a few month and then buy an 2004 or 2005 s2000, cuz i cant wait that long for a car!

2012 is too long? Ha! I'm still waiting for Subie to make coupe Impreza... & last coupe they made was '01. Waiting for 1~2 yrs isn't pain at all. Like someone said, it gives me time to save up some time for money. Fat down payment & upgrade parts money~

good things come to those who wait.

The two year wait isnt that bad. My problem is the time when it actually does come out. My current car will be paid off in june, so no car payments till then, but I will have been married for 5 years when i comes out and i told my wife we could start trying to have kids after 5 years. So now i'll look like a jerk to the family for: 1. Getting a new car when i should be saving for the baby. 2. For getting a coupe when i should be getting a four door. :mad0259: This is the only reason i'm second guessing getting the car but i really want it and will probably just get it anyways and tell the family to worry about themselves not my car choice.

At least the 86 has backseats! They're big enough for child seats and small children.

From one father to a prospective one, the FT-86 isn't for you. No matter how much you want it. practical it won't be. Even coupes are a pain w/ child seats. Trust me.

If you want a fun saloon/sedan. look at used BMW's, tons of options.
