That would have to be some huge weight reduction. We’ll need GTIs that weigh the same as a Suzuki Swift next. ---

with all these 2013 rules and regulations it makes it hard for a manufacture to come out with a legit car. imo the new cr-z is worse than the 90 crx. mpg, performance, maintaining and looks. ooo and $$$$$$ a new wrx is $40,000+. we all know a older impreza with a swap and some aftermarket parts will spank on it in every category. also cost alot less. theres alot of examples. some cars can come out “better” but than the cost outweighs the performance. if the new 2013 wrx is a lil faster than the 2002 what makes the 2013 worth extra $35,000? also newer cars are made to be maintained at the dealer. its getting harder and harder to maintain your own car if its newer. thats my rant for the day. older cars \> newer cars ---

I think he’s intending on saying he’d rather pick up a ratty 5k bugeye than spend 40k on a new WRX well, bucko, you ever been in a 2013 wrx? theyre fuckin nice, idk about 40k nice but they are fuckin nice also, warranty, no miles, etc ---

He did a bad job of presenting his point. Anyone who wants a bug eye over a new wrx is definitely retarded. ---
