Yeah man wagons. Once upon a time I owned a 1974 AMC Hornet wagon, a 1985 AMC Eagle wagon (at the same time even) and then later a 1994 BMW 525i Wagon.

Maybe next year we'll pick up a Volvo V90, the only other full-size wagon you can get in the United States that isn't a Mercedes.

gently caress yes, wagons.

My parents had a bright red W124 Mercedes wagon like in my last post. I loved that thing. It didn't have factory cupholders, so the previous owner installed these foldout ones on the doors. I always think of that car anytime I smell the "new car smell" for some reason.

Driving a truck pays decently if you have lots of qualifications. The other trick is to pay cash for 3 year old used vehicles. I'd never buy any of those vehicles new, except the Wildcat I purchased new but it was 2014 new old stock and was $9000 off the 2016 models.

Honda is bringing the hatchback type-R in the U.S. finally, I will def not be buying one


also they're making a regular civic hatchback which looks ok sure this is a car


I'm hoping they do a "halfway between these two" that has like a spoiler and the brakes have that thing where they are bright colored and you can see them through the rimz®™ and the engine makes a pretty good vroom noise for like $22,000 that would be fine I guess, slightly more fun that a corolla although you can drive a corolla for like 10 years

To elaborate it's specifically pointless because you can not point nose-in here when parking, you have to parallel park and a lot of places have specific-sized spots so the extra shortness doesn't actually matter. Plus afaik we only get the premium powered versions here in the US which means you pay more for a smaller car that uses more fuel than something cheaper.

Japanese budget cars have mostly tried to go faux-lux rather than sporty for some reason. Budget sporty seems a lot more fun to me personally.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



It isn't a big deal that they don't make cheap sporty cars really anymore. You can just buy older sports cars for cheap instead, and frankly many of them look a whole lot better than a modern car is even allowed to look due to safety regulations (pop-up headlight for example). They are also typically cheaper and easier to work on yourself.

Station wagons. Maybe brand them as "estates" or "shooting brakes" like they do in Europe.




The name 'shooting brake' refers to cars with box back ends and 2 doors, because 2 doors is the superior amount, because who gives a gently caress if the people who want to get in the back are uncomfortable climbing in? But yes, estates are badass and so are shooting brakes, it's a shame there's so many stupid SUV/CUV things on the roads these days.

Also where are the photos of the 220?
