I wouldnt be too worried about honda. In the last 2 volumes of Best Motoring, they have spy footage of what is rumored to be the new V10 NSX lapping the nurburgring, mind you this is relatively new footage. There’s also shots of it lapping with Scuderias, Gallardos and GTRs (new ones obviously). ---

I know the NSX project is still going on in low pro, thanks to keeping up with Best Motoring as well 🙂 ---

Im still hoping that they can create something which is as affordable, rwd, and a good enough match to the Hyndai Geno. ---

Man, they’ve been talking about the “new supra” for about 10 years. I think we’ll see their AE86 revival first. ---

The subbie/86revival looks really good. There were some photos of the car in road and track a couple months back. Its liek they took the current sti wagon and chopped it shorter, and i think the current sti/wrx looks very hot. Nissan is apparently working on a rwd altima thats supposedly the 240 resurrection, which would be awesome in my opinion cause the altima looks really good. Toyota has their v8-hybrid that should be released under lexus in north america in a couple years, that should be pretty serious. ---

Yeah the Subie is gonna be fun. And I’ve said that for a while, they need to take the Altima coupe, make it RWD, and give it a slightly more “RWD coupe look”, a la longer nose and more squat haunches. ---

They need to create a better engine for the current altima. Its so shit, it hurts to drive sometimes. But yea, I guess most of the big companies from the east are bringing stuff back. Looking forward to that hatchi roku variant.🙂 ---

I’am not trying to argue with you here, but you think 14.0 is fast for a car that costs around $50,000 cnd? Even a cobalt ss 06 and up can get in the 13’s and that car can be had for like $20,000 mind you I would not buy either of them. ---

The s2k is tight, not sloppy like a cobalt SS. Its refined, and 240hp NA is badass with no potential turbo failures, + its rwd. We got ours for 32g’s in the states. 20 000km, 2006. what else can you get for 32 g’s thats as legit as that? ---

I love the car but i couldn’t justify spending more than 12k on a 02+ they are very impractical cars but none the less very fun to drive. I really disliked the stereo/dash layout as well as the super cheap looking digital cluster, especially the backlit colour. I had one in winter 07 and paid 18 for a 2000 and fought to sell it at 21. The crossfire kills the s2k in luxury and comfort. ---

The crossfire is also a chrysler product, but i do agree the stereo in the s2k blows. ---
