So... an entirely different car then :p

I mean, I get not wanting to live with <70hp every day like your grandmother had to, but to totally turn your nose up at it? Wow.

It's uglier than a hot pile of shit smeared on a pug's face. It could be the next coming of Christ; I'd still pass.

Looks like I'm going to get bitch slapped next time I drive down there, or when you drive up here!

:slap:

You could slightly stretch the chassis, which if I understand correctly is not hard to do. The extra displacement would be for us 'Muricans. That also wouldn't be hard to do, the turbo and intercooler take up quite a bit of space.

I also freely admit I'm being overly optimistic because I desperately want a newer car that's like my MR2 Spyder.

I drive the butt ugly MR2 Spyder, so I guess I have a thing for ugly hot piles of shit smeared on a pug's face. :P All is forgiven when there's the glorious sound of engine coming from behind your head.

Looks much better in the video, and this incarnation. I'd drive it as a commuter/runabout although the 1000cc model he mentioned would be better.

I saw a couple of the ordinary S660s when I was in Japan. A black one and a yellow one. They stand out like crazy. They're wild looking, but also tiiiiny. Even in Japan it would be difficult for bigger guys to fit. I can't even fit in first or second generation Miatas...

But they are still pretty rare. GT86s are rather common, but I actually saw more American brand cars (Cadillac DeVille, Ford Mustang, old El Camino, Challenger, Camaro, H2 Hummer) in 3 weeks than the 2 S660s.

I love the way the classic one looks.

I have zero interest in cars that try too hard. Whimsy gets me every time.
