My parents always lease a car because my Dad's buddy buddy with some dealer that gives him whatever's been sitting on his lot for a while for like 120 bucks/mo. And that's the story of how my family had a Chrysler Pacifica for three years

So Honda has a body in white program now, and you can buy a new Civic body for only $3,500. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/02/honda-now-offering-body-in-white-civics-with-hpd-racing-componen/ This is much cheaper than the Camaro body from GMPP that costs $7k, how much does Ford charge for the Mustang?

Two leaked images of the Facelifted 2013 Genesis Coupe, (the first looks to be photoshopped) and two official images "leaked" from Hyundai below those. I think it looks a thousand times better than the outgoing model. Amazing what a new bumper, headlights, and hood vents can do to a car. It is almost reminiscent of the GT-R. I'll be looking closely at the BRZ/FRS when they come out, but I really like what I see with the GC. Autoblogger also reports rumors of a factory supercharged V6 option, which makes things even more interesting.

BoostCreep posted:It is almost reminiscent of the GT-R. A factory supercharged GC R-Spec for under $30,000 would seal the deal for me. I really like the Mustang a lot, but I feel like the GC handles and looks better, especially with the new facelift. The big thing is that the Mustang offers 412 HP for only about $4-5000 more than a V6 R-spec. I also really hope they updated that stupid rear end shift knob.

The front end was always the weakest part of the car, style-wise. I really hope they add a telescoping steering wheel too. Probably my biggest complaint with the current model.

Hyundai simply can't help themselves and have to put something wired a bit weird on every car. It's a pity there isn't a Kia version of the GC, I get the feeling that'd be a really good looking car.

Speaking of transmission options, Europeans will soon not be able to get a manual in their S4s and S5s. I doubt the US will be able to hold out for long.

Production of the 300bhp hatch is drawing to a close, but these latest releases are here to make sure it doesn't go quietly.  and http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/13/maserati-kubang-frankfurt-2011/ quote:Nothing else is yet known about the Kubang, but we'd expect it to borrow liberally from the Jeep parts bin, and there have been many indications that it will likely even roll down the same assembly line in Detroit as the Grand Cherokee. In any case, have a good look at the Kubang in all its somewhat funky glory in our high-res gallery of live images, and feel free to peruse the press release after the break.

Guinness posted:Replace the Kia badge with an Audi badge and no one would know the difference. You realize that Kia stole away one of Audi's key designers and made him their chief of design or something a few years ago right? That's why all of their new cars seem to take inspiration from Audi. Win win for everyone, he gets to be more creative than Audi would ever let him be and Kia actually gets some hot looking vehicles.

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/14/2013-hyundai-genesis-coupe-to-get-350-hp-v6-275-hp-turbo-four Looks likr the genesis is getting the sonata 2.0t motor after all, and the v6 is getting a big jump in power to match. If they can keep the same price points (25k CAD for the base 2.0) it will help me forget about the ft-86 for a little while. Crustashio fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Nov 14, 2011 |

Both really nice improvements. But I wonder if people will look past them if they don't have a range-topper that can beat the Stang and or Camaro in sheer hp numbers?
