The Thread of Cars, and other forms of Transportation

[stevencho]

I love US Top Gear, easily one of my favorite shows on TV. I've only seen a couple of BBC Top Gear episodes, and I prefer the US version (probably just that I'm used to the US version and I generally prefer American TV over British TV).

Anyway, this is probably the most attractive car I've ever seen.



Actually, after looking at it for a while I change my mind... It is the most attractive car I've ever seen.

I'm not too big of a fan of Lamborghinis. I feel they are incredibly overpriced for the car they are.

This is my dream car.

Beetles are mad sick yo. Hopefully when I can scrap enough cash to get a car, the first thing I'm getting is one of these bad boys.

Not all that into cars, but in a year, I hope to be driving this:



But, lets get real. I'll probably end up with a total shit box for my first car XD

She sure is a beauty, my brother's dream car as well. I've always wanted one, but since I know that's not gonna happen I just bought one in Gran Turismo 5 and tuned it up like crazy... named her Black Beauty.

Even if I had the money I probably wouldn't use it on a car I couldn't even fully enjoy unless I had a racetrack. :P

This is my affordable car.

GT-R is very nice, but it is rather expensive. For a better price/performance option I would probably go with the Porsche Cayman R:



Cylinder: 6
Displacement: 3.4 l
Engine layout: Mid-engine
Horsepower: 330 hp
@ rpm: 7400 rpm
Torque: 273 lb.-ft.
@ rpm: 4750 rpm
Compression ratio: 12.5 : 1

Top Track Speed : 175 mph
0 - 60 mph: 4.6 sec / 4.4 sec (PDK with Sport Plus)
0 - 99 mph: 10.5 sec / 10.2 sec (PDK with Sport Plus)

MSRP
$ 69,960.00*

I've never liked Porche's. They are just ugly and small and the fact they've been using the same design for nearly all their cars...ugh.

Plus the fact that they all originated from the Beetle, my second least favourite car ever, the worst being a G-Wiz.

A Skoda yeti.

You know there's actual kit cars for the Batmobile that you can make yourself.

I thought this was extremely interesting. An affordable "Exotic"-like car by Chevrolet (Affordable meaning around $20,000). It actually looks pretty cool if you ask me. Concept shown at the Detroit Auto Show:





It also boasts a rather futuristic and high-tech interior:



Oh and it's expected to get around 40mpg.

[amad2]

I kinda don't like how it looks. I don't like how everything is kinda leaning forward.

[tmrd]

Cars, really?
I thought Up and Finding Nemo were much better movies.

Seeing that interior, I don't see how they can possibly make that affordable but still make a profit out of it. :/ Seriously, touch screens on the deck?

Yeah, I don't see how they can either, but if they pull it off it would be very interesting.
