Until I joined this forum, I didn't realize so many folks considered cross shopping odd combinations an odd thing. I thought everyone considered all their options anytime spending 10's of thousands of dollars on something.

It's a certain type of car enthusiast. Maybe the purest type. They follow whatever their heart is telling them in the moment and end up with a very long and interesting list of cars owned. Hey, if you can afford it, go for it.

When you dont actually have any specific needs (ie you are single and you can get whatever you feel like) you'll get whatever you want. Over time when your needs start to change and you have more specific criteria, i think some cars just either get crossed off the list or isn't considered at all.

I highly doubt i'll get a GR Corolla but i have given it consideration as a possible next car (Corolla or even hot hatches were never on my radar...after the 86 i believed i would just be moving towards the luxury brands). We just had our annual massive snow dump and having AWD in addition to being a fun to drive manual car would be greatly beneficial at this time. I had to take the wife's BMW X1 to work instead of the 86 because theres like a 99% chance i would be stuck in the snow just exiting my garage.

Well, as an example, as the 86 approaches 200K miles I've started thinking about my next vehicle. So far, the list consists of new and used in no particular order:

CTS-V or CTS-V Sport
CT5-V (Blackwing, although I could afford it, is out of my set price range)
Silverado EV (I have a reservation for one)
Lyriq (I'm on the early order list)
Suburban Diesel
Ford Maverick
KIA EV6 or Hyundai ioniq 5
Hyundai Santa Cruz
Toyota BZ4X
Camaro ZL1 or SS

The Corvette (C7) was on the list until I rode in the passenger seat of one. Absolutely miserable experience.

I think some enthusiasts like variety or trying different cars that they think might be fun. If money was no option I have a list of very different cars I’d like to own.

I've seen the EV6 in person and IMO it looks even better than the pictures I've seen of it. Haven't seen the inside though, was just walking the dog in my parents neighborhood and someone a couple blocks over had one parked in their driveway.

We all think differently, as I need to remember. I personally don't believe someone is serious when it comes to purchasing a vehicle when they go in the complete opposite direction. Not always the case I know. BUT, when the excuse sounds like and easy out from the Youtube comments section. "If it had a manual I would", suuuure. It throws a red flag for me. That's just my opinion of course. Were they really cross shopping or casually looking at cars on the net? You basically do the same thing in either scenario but one is more focused. Having said that, maybe the guy actually test drove both and decided on the Civic over the Supra. Maybe..

I looked at a variety of vehicles to replace my trusty old CR-V as a daily driver.
CR-V - another one
HR-V - CVT yuck
RAV-4 - $40K? Its a rav4.
CX-5 - AWD, auto, and turbo
Vensa - I like the styling and great MPG.
Civic/Si - CVT yuck, and I don't want a manual DD anymore. Why are they so stingy with the accords automatic?
Mazda 3 - AWD, auto, and turbo.
Maverick - I'd be too tempted to modify it. If a Maverick ST comes out with in the next year I would have to do some serous thinking.

Now of course I looked at aN Supra, M2 and C7 while I was at it, but then I'd have two sport cars and an old CRV. lol Yeah I looked at them and want/can buy them, but I wouldn't say I cross shopped any seriously.

Looks really good, love the wheels.

Good to know Toyota made their own shifter assembly. BMW’s mechanism is much too isolated for a sports car. Hopefully Toyota’s mechanism is meaningfully different.

Well it is about damn time they gave the Supra a MT. No manual E-Brake though.... Not that I will ever be able to afford one, it wouldn't necessarily stop me from buying one. Love the interior.



Big props to Toyota for not giving up on enthusiasts and sports cars. Looking at you Mazda and Mitsubishi. Mazda plz, giv Speed 3 again.

Yep, finally! Really interested to see if the updated diff ratio helps with 0-60 or 1/4 times.
