Car Porn.......beauty meets speed (SFW)

[riser4]

Ok car style geeks. I bought this car for commuting because, a) it gets 40 mpg and b) all the reviews said it's by far the most fun to drive in it's class. I'm getting about 38 or so and the handling is amazing. But when I look at it I go between, "Ya, that's a good looking little car". To, "That is a funny looking little car." I'd be interested to see what people who are into this think. It's a 2014 Mazda3 (2.0/155HP/6speed).

Son, it looks like your tailor and your barber are fucking.

The front end's a little swoopy but it's decent-enough looking I'd say.

It's a funny little thing. From some angles you go, "Wait, that's cool!" Others you think, "God that's funky." I think if they tweaked that line that goes from the front into the doors and shortened the front end just a tad, they'd have done better.

I love driving it and love the MGP for my 60 miles a day commute though!

Watching some of the Barrett-Jackson auction on television. Kind of hypnotic listening to the auctioneer. But also a real waste of time akin to televised poker or local politics on public access. Anyway, most of these cars are bringing crazy strong prices. Not sure if it's a bellwether for recovering economics but people are clearly spending money. A (well done) replica of the Adam West Batmobile sold for $200k. Mustang GT 2015 VIN number one sold for $300k. Z28 2014 VIN one sold for $625k or something close. Although the later was to Hendrick, himself.

New record for production car! 270. And 0-220 m.p.h. in just under 10 seconds!?! I think I'd pass out from the Gs.

Stephen Tyler has one of those. Saw him on last season's Top Gear. Man, he comes off as a tool now and a shell of his old persona. Anyway, fast car.

Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring might change some minds in this thread.... see (and listen to that exhaust crackle) in the very recent Top Gear episode.

Stunning.

New Volvo concept looks pretty

Volvo's homage to the '72 Chrysler Town and Country wagon?

Pretty, but that's a lot of crumple zone there

That Volvo looks like they stole the Mazda 3's front end.

It'd be a tough choice between the Volvo and the Chrysler. I love old, clean, vintage stock cars. You know you'd look awesome pulling up to the hill in that rootbeer '72!

Can not wait to see the P1 vs 918 segment on Top Gear:

Yep.

It's a reasonable homage to the original.

Absolutely.

Looks like a BMW Z8





Not that that's a bad thing...

[PNWbrit]

Nope.

No it doesn't.

[BmillsSkier]

That's some disco shit right there.

[stfu&gbtw]

Nope.

No it doesn't.

Yes it does.

I see Corvair

I see Corvair

That brown Volvo station wagon disqualifies you.
