10 cars they can't wait to drive.
 
Z not included... lol. Check out the stats on the upcoming miata and mustang, though impressive. It looks like the FR-S 2800 lbs will be totally eclipsed by the upcoming Miata's 2200lbs and possible turbo 4. They are guessing the Miata will have 150hp. If Mazda is smart? It will have 170hp. that would be enough to blow the FR-S out the water on the track.

Cool list.

Z is probably not on it because there are so few details and the details that nissan has shared have not been that great.

*dons tin foil hat*

They like Nissan well enough, but Nissan isn't paying them enough to praise the Z. They're directing their marketing funding towards the new Altima.

I bet nissan used all their marketing dollars on the GTR.

It didn't really set lap records, they paid for that too.

lol you don't have to market the car when the numbers market themselves.

But the Z was never going to set lap records.

Heck, can you explain why the FT86 is the media's darling? I mean, I like the car, but you read a few articles on it, and you'd think it was God's own gift to the car enthusiast...

And it's numbers are FAR from impressive. It's more expensive, slower, and less practical than hot hatches in the same segment. It's a hard-top Miata. But the magazines say it's so wonderful.

that Mustang seems not to be impressed lol the front looks like its doing a :shakes head: motion lol :tiphat:

Cmike2780 09-05-2012 06:12 PM

I agree with everything, except the challenger, Lexus iS and caddy. Any changes will be a let down by those three because they tend to play it safe with the designs. The future mustang is interesting, but the rendering I've seen make it look like rip off of Japanese and European imports. The front in that rendering looks it belongs on an Mitsubishi Evo VI. The roofline and silhouette could be mistaken for a Z....

Now that I look at it even more, the design as a whole could be mistaken for an Aston Martin if Ford continues to copy their trapezoidial grill design.

Really like everything on Mustang rendering except the side windows.

So are next G and Z definitely going in different directions? The diet plus smaller motor claimed for the G sounds like exactly what they said for the Z.

Redglare 09-05-2012 09:27 PM

Yeah what they are saying about the G sounds a lot like the next gen Z...

and mazda with 2200 + turbo @ 170 hp? Wow, if that happens lotus will be running scared

shadoquad 09-05-2012 09:28 PM

If the new miata really drops to that weight, it's going to be incredible fun!
