They literally have nothing to show, are bleeding cash and they keep cycling through execs.

Succeed at being a scam maybe. I don't want to see that hideous piece of shit on the roads so I hope they crash and burn.
Why do you hate subarus?
Lol

I prefer engines that don't sound like they are constantly misfiring
one of the worst sounding engines unless you put EL headers

subaru has been stagnant
build a new fucking engine you lazy fucks
for 35-40k you should be getting ~400hp
New Ford GT will DEPRECIATE like crazy in the future. Believe me.
>>17196825
I hate the new GT and love the last one but even i doubt that.
The whole reason its limited and Ford acting like such a candy ass panzy about who they allow to even buy it is (because) they want to make deal. a lot of the people buying it are also buying it because its a collectors item. if it depreciated the whole program would blow the fuck up in their faces (luckily for them the market won't let that happen)
It'll likely appreciate in value just nowhere near as fast or as high as the last one.
The last GT is worth nearly 3 times its value. i don't see this thing going for 1.5 million anytime soon but it will likely hold its value or appreciate some.
>>17196825
There is only a thousand and they are speciel enough to avoid most typical depreciation. Now one day the 05 GT MAY be worth more as it was the last of the line to have a manual trans and a v8. That may take decades but the new gt will always keep its value too.
>>17196825
The bottom has a special purpose built engine for track racing and won best in class at Le Mans
The top has an engine out of an SVT Lightning and never won anything
If you listen closely enough when driving the older GT you can hear the boomers saying “muh V8”

Mitsubishi is dead. They sell poverty tier cars now. (And just barely)There is no way they will be able to support sales of anything even mildly interesting.
>>17196623
They are owned by Renault-Nissan so they could definitely (ask) for the funds to support almost anything the problem is the GTO is yet another AWD Turbo car and with the cancellation of the EVO and the GTR existing its a tough pitch to suggest another V6 AWD Turbo car.

Were the 70's the worst period for cars in general? I feel like the 80's redeemed everything for how bad of a decade it was. Prove me wrong.

Twingo, because despite it being shit people still like it.
im not watching that shit nerd lmao gtfo with your ads
>>17196059
But Ryzen isn't shit
>>17196060
>being this insecure about your own intelligence
The point is Ryzen offers just as much performance as higher end Intel CPUs, for less money, while giving you technology that is more future-proof than Intel's, and without much, if any drawbacks.
Are these good 4x4's?
20 series nigger tires
6 inches of ground clearance
Needing 2 supercharger replacements before you get to a trailhead
British reliability.
Land Rover hasn't made a reliable vehicle since the defender, enjoy your blown head gaskets and slipping transmission before you even get to 50k miles

Is a mall crawler for gold diggers a good 4x4?
Fucking Kek.
So, if I started on course for making a small sporty car company with the idea to compete in the Evo/STI/Focus RS market with the intention to compete in rallies yet still make a WRX/STI Lancer/EVO model of sorts (being a lower end comfortable model and a higher end performance model [with possibly something equivalent to an Evo FQ400 rare highest end model)] would you guys give it a chance?
Idea behind the cars would be to have the safety of a volvo/saab, reliability of a Suby (stereotypical Subie, not actual Subies ;) ), and maneuverability of an Evo. With extensive endurance testing both on and offroad (hard driven)
A linear line of the main model (Evo 1-10 for example, instead of just different years of an STI or various typed names like the 911s) with modified variants of the models in the form of sub numbers. (Example: Evo 8 Mod 0)
Something me and a friend plan on doing in a few years. We both are going through with Mechanical engineering degrees and have a heavy passion in cars, we are fairly sure we want to do the design of the car and its systems ourselves for the most part.
