Happily waiting on the special release version. I would love another reindition of the monogram.

And you can also have the equivalent of the Camry in regards to everybody and their grandmother has one.... Not to mention the accelerated domestic car depreciation and Ford's impeccable long term quality.

I'd say our depreciation is right there with it.

How about a Luxury car powered by a V12 instead of a puny four-banger?

If you want a light (under 3,000 lbs), new, mass produced, RWD, coupe for under $50k there is no alternative.

I once owned the V8 version of that car. Everyone should, once. There's nothing like cruising at triple digits in utter silence and stability. Wretched excess and you'll help support your local M-B mech's lifestyle, but they're worth the experience. I can't imagine the V-12TT and for the price, it might be worth buying and running for a few months and selling for a profit before the ABC pump leaks.

Thanks for the link, actually thinking of sniping it.

Edit: Found a newer CL63 AMG for not much more. Talk about depreciation, the local car cratered almost $100K in five years.

The 2016 MX-5 is out. They should have used that for comparison on the competitor page.. Oh wait, maybe not.

Notice how they leave off the weight comparison only against the Miata lol way to cherry pic specs scion.

That has been on the Scion site for a month and a half. Though you did have to choose "other models" to get to the build page.

Those 2.5L turbo numbers at 254hp and 231 TQ are very interesting as Subaru doesn't sell a 2.5L turbo in anything other than the STi in North America.

The 2.0L turbo has 268/258 in the WRX, and 250/258 in the forester. Even if it was a mistake I have no idea where they could have gotten those specific numbers based on the current engines available?

Very interesting indeed. I have said for a while that there's no way the WRX STI was going to continue on with the old EJ 2.5 turbo forever and Subaru was probably working on a FA25DIT for that car. I would have expected a NA FA25 for the Twins but a detuned turbo could be a possibility I guess. On paper it's still less powerful than a WRX but adds a much needed 80 pound feet of torque in a significantly lighter RWD vehicle.

I'm highly skeptical but could be good for the vocal "moar powa" minority.

I still won't believe it until there's an official announcement but TRD was testing a turbo "project" car last year:

Nah. I like the FR-S better. However, some the stats they chose to compare like gas mileage for example? They won't want to talk about that any more.

True, but you can't give away old Mustangs around here (fortunately they fall apart beforehand compared to their Japanese cousins).
