jap or german

Totally agree with you that the current Jap spoorts car range cant touch germans at the mo... The days of the MR2 Turbo/GT4/GTO/NSX/Supra are over.. :(

Although in saying that.. the new GTR is almost out and that WILL give the germans a run for their monies! ;) Also the new NSX is being developed as i type this as well.

all you people are talking about jap designs are boring there is 1 and only 1 car which i owned which strikes out from all other european cars (except new mercedes benz c-class sport version) mitsubishi galant which has more then any other german car road presence.tho i dont own that car anymore but sure i miss it as for ergonomics yep germans are the best but japs provide more with same price of a german car.
:beerchug:

ARE YOU OFF YOUR ROCKER.I like you but your a nutter

I was thinking along the lines of the mx5, rx8, imprezza, evo etc. Basically cars that are affordable. :D

the evo x will be sure fire HIT as it carries evil grin on the front and the inside is there to match it BUT then again we got AMG, RS of audis and M of bmws these elegant brands just are something.

drove my dads E55 the other day i was off my seat when i came off the driving seat its something amazing.

You pull put of a junction with full throttle and the massive power suckes you into the back of the seat, the noise is psychotic but also strangely addictive. It starts of low pitched and very throaty not unlike that of a canAm racer and gradually becomes high pitched towards the rev limiter the performance is vast to- 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. But sadly the E55 is more of a performance cruiser rather than a chuckable supercar.

but cant wait for Merc C amg and RS8

hope to give RS8 a spin looks like a solid rocket. :biglaugh:

All very expensive cars though :( Even the new evo looks like it'll be very expensive and apparently most will have stupid paddle shift gearboxes. Next
thing you know it'll be a 2.5 litre and will weigh 5 tonnes (no wait, that's the imprezza :biglaugh:) There's no fun to be had in a car that is very fast but
weighs loads. Light, nimble and fast. That's where the fun's to be had. Anyone can go 150mph. It's getting there that's the best bit ;)

Didnt help matters that i had a drive of one at a honda open day, that really was a case of good idea/bad idea;)

I agree its very rare that a car looks good from all angles, and that engine is superb!!
