I actually can't stand the Hyper Blue. It looks cheap and disgusting to me, especially in person. It's like a child colored the vehicle in with pastel color. I think Ford did a much better job on that Nitrous Blue color for the Focus RS. Lots of metallic flake in it, and it looks way better.

From the choices on that list any of them...

Eh, not really. The BRZ came in 4th in 2012, in front of a list of much more expensive cars. It just happens that designing and building a truly great-performing car is either an expensive prospect to do everything perfectly or sacrifices features to cut cost.

Not that the GT350 needs any extra press. Lack of a win is no big deal. Second place behind a $200K sports car is a huge *#%#$ deal.

Also, poor NSX

I'd have the Vantage all day long.

Finally mcl puts it all together and creates something less clinical aside from lt and p1 and f1.

Hope gen2 brz is a turbo and 300 hp and makes a run at bdc top 5.

As requested. Not at all surprised by the results

Then all of the people who have been saying for years that:

"The Camaro is a muscle car. It isn't supposed to be fast on the track. It's fast in a straight line."

will change their response to:

"The Camaro is a sports car. It isn't supposed to be fast in a straight line. It's fast around the track."

Well the Brz/Frs will be in this next year as we have a mid life refresh! Well not Frs but gt86 now

I have to say,I've not been a big Mustang fan for a long time now,but that Selby 350 GT R would be the first car from that list that I would buy if I had the money.And I'm not big on American cars,especially Ford!

It just seems like the perfect balance of everything I love about cars. Great handling,a true manual gearbox,and enough power to keep up with anything on the road. and it looks mean as fuck!

The only way they could possibly make it better is if it were AWD without adding much,if any weight.If that were ever to happen,it might be as close to perfection that any car has ever been.

No. FR layout is way better, especially for that car.

Adding AWD without adding weight is physically impossible. More parts = more weight. Only way they could make it AWD and not have the weight go up, is to cut weight elsewhere, which means the use of more expensive materials, which means an increase in price. Not to mention the increase in price from making it AWD.

MSRP for a GT350R is 62k. Add AWD and a bunch of lightweight materials to get the weight to stay the same, and we're looking at an MSRP of over 70k easily; probably closer to 80k. No thanks.
