Yeah, he really surprised me when I saw his first designs and I just didn't care for them at all. It always looks like the trunk isn't meant to fit on the car. Just a weird design style.mark-art said:Agreed. Bangles designs are SLOWLY getting better. I think at first the changes he made were very drastic and caught everyone off guard. And the new M5 does look awesome. I think with the body kit on it better compliments the front headlights than that of the normal 5. And talk about ridiculously fast. Whats cool is that it'll still blend in with everyday cars, but it'll smoke 95% of whats out there. Makes you wonder what mercedes is gonna do with the next E55, or if audi is gonna pump out a new RS6.
ORPHEUS said:WHOA! hold the fuck up.
The only time I saw that Alpha was in a magazine article (that I kept ironicaly) as a concept car. You mean to tell me that that has now moved from concept to production....and still has that beutifull interior and scisor doors!?
Official link please.
Well, you don't exactly have to have a top of the line engine in order to have a fun car to drive. Most people forget that good driving is about handling and braking just as much as it's about acceleration.Bakaneiro said:That's an awesome car.. and the new alfa 156( called 159) will have that front and powerfull engines (v6-for you americans) -- i know its not much, but here the gas its very expensive.
That concept will be release at the end of this year, but no scissor doors
yeah the SVT was a blast (before its late bout of shitty ford service)Lets Gekiga In said:Well, you don't exactly have to have a top of the line engine in order to have a fun car to drive. Most people forget that good driving is about handling and braking just as much as it's about acceleration.
Exactly. I saw a guy in a red SVT Focus fucking drifting around a corner and then went as fast as shit down the road (he was going 100+). That car can fucking move and handles corners quite nicely.FatGuy said:yeah the SVT was a blast (before its late bout of shitty ford service)
The thing turns like a champ and stops on a dime

which model is your favorite? the late 90's model that had turbo? or the current one with the V-8? personally i love them all, and since the audi dealership near me has all assorted models right outside i can drool over them all i want. i just wish i had one. for now i'll have to setlle for the old peugeot 506 turbo i'm looking at getting. oh wellSpike said:Yes sir.
I remember Business Week said that Saab could go away too (I really doubt they'll go though).Kim _Kaphwan said:http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/invest/extra/P112987.asp?GT1=6301

i wanna see a re-styled trans-am myselfEric said:Not until they bring back a retro style Firebird, they won't!
mark-art said:Heres pics of the next M3 supposedly. Found them at germancarfans.com There make a 4 door and a coupe like they did with the E36 M3. And a V-8 to boot. That car should haul. While not as nice as the E46 M3 imo, it still looks mean and fast.

Yeah, like I said previously I wouldn't be getting the M5 or M6 for the looks.xtoo_short20x said:Doesn't look bad, but I still like this year's better, and the yrs before.
The M6 (the ones posted by lets gekiga in) are fugly.
Lets Gekiga In said:Yeah, like I said previously I wouldn't be getting the M5 or M6 for the looks.
But the performance on those cars are just amazing. 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
The V10, 7-speed sequential, paddle shifters, and launch control are what makes the M5 and M6 worthy buys.
I think the Lexus RX400h is headed in the right direction as well. But yeah, why would I want an egg shaped Prius? :PMushiki said:Definitely the Accord.
Prius? Ahahahahaha -

Didn't the older Prius actually look a heck of a lot better than the new one? Toyota should quit doing that "OMG IT LOOKZ FUTURISTIC!" shit to that car and just make a Corolla Hybrid as well as a Camry Hybrid.Mushiki said:The design is horrible, and the car overall is pathetic - I recommend people not to drive that car, ever.
You've been in/seen the Escape Hybrid? I'd like to see one sometime.Kim _Kaphwan said:i like the escape. not because it's especially powerful or fast. but because i know a guy who has a ford escape. and i always loved how the car felt and looked interior wise. it was luxurious, and small, and pretty sweet for a little SUV. and honestly it was really spacious inside. i liked sitting in there because there was plenty of room to goof off with.
it is pretty damn roomy in there, and quite cool. my buddy got the leather seats and black interior and stuff. and it is pretty darn comfy in there. i know the car isn't very powerful or fast. but it's comfortable as all get out.Lets Gekiga In said:You've been in/seen the Escape Hybrid?

Yeah, I heard Ford has been doing a better job on their interior as of late. My dad needs something that can tow and he's been thinking about an F-150.Kim _Kaphwan said:it is pretty damn roomy in there, and quite cool. my buddy got the leather seats and black interior and stuff. and it is pretty darn comfy in there. i know the car isn't very powerful or fast. but it's comfortable as all get out.
