What are your thoughts on the 2012 WRX? I cant find a better new(or newish) car for 26k.

Scion was never marketed as a fast or sports brand. They were marketed towards young people with the idea of customizability, so you could have a unique car. Granted they never followed through on that but just because some of the same immature who like to rice out their civics drive scions doesn't mean you should discredit the brand. Scions are just rebadged toyotas, a brand with a long history of quality sports cars and racing pedigree.

If someone is going to fault your for driving the FR-S because of the plastic symbol on it then they're a fucking idiot and their opinion is invalid.

Totally irrational. If you don't like the community of people who drive who drive the brand's other models then don't spend time with them. Just because the little symbol on your car is the same as theirs doesn't mean you're part of the same club or anything. I mean, the FR-S shares more in common with the miata than the tC.

My point is that the tiny plastic badge means nothing. The FR-S IS superior to the BRZ because it's going to be one or two thousand dollar less, out on lots first, and it's a car that's nearly identical except it has a superior suspension tuning.

The evo is a bit nicer but also a step up in price range.

Well at least you've made the first step in recognizing your irrational bias. If it helps, the FR-S is likely to cost less than the BRZ in most areas due to toyotas superior industrial capability and the fact that scion does the whole no-haggle thing, thus no (or smaller) dealer fees. Plus, better suspension tune.

But if small 2-door coupe is too impractical, then it is what it is. WRX and speed3 would be my only big recommendations other than maybe genesis coupe.

Don't worry about it.

I've never seen a girl who looked unattractive with the baseball cap/pony tail combo. Girls don't need to change tires, that's what we're for. The NBA is crap compared to NCAA march madness. And freckles are pretty overrated.

The mazda 3 is hands down the funnest compact car you'll ever drive imo. Plus it's just as reliable and maybe slightly less fuel efficient than the competition (for a 2008 anyways). If it were at all possible for you to get a new one with the skyactiv engine, that wouldn't be a bad pick either because you'd get all the fun with all the 40mpg fuel efficiency.

Personally, I don't really see that styling as an improvement. But as long as it runs better than than the models that came before it, that's all that really matters.

While I mostly agree with you through this thread, I think his point is that there's a larger number of enthusiasts who prefer performance over style within the AWD/RWD communities because those kinds of people tend to be put off by the performance ceiling of FWD. And a larger community tends to be more appealing because it means you don't have to try as hard to network/find information/etc.

Cars don't need to be powerful to be fun. Also, you're significantly underestimating the light weight of these cars compared to the others you named. Not to mention this car will literally cost half as much as an evo x.

Since DHD is moving up in the world I think Richter is pretty much our mascot now.

Keep the miata. Or if you want a compromise find a speed3.

Payroll dumped Scutaro and I forget why they gave up Lowrie. Traded for someone who isn't a starter I think. Possibly also a payroll dump. Too bad Roy Oswalt would rather sit on his couch than play for Boston.

Early estimates are only a few weeks. I can live with that if the estimates hold true.

He has said he wanted to be one, but aceves definitely earned it over him. The only thing is that aceves is the best guy in the bullpen and it's hard for management to give that up.

This is my guess as well. Acevedo and dubront.

If you only have 3 million skillpoints, don't sweat it. I would highly recommend training minmatar though. Also, you'll get an alt for a titan character, but amarr or gallente for them.

Lavarnway could find himself in the DH spot soon if the sox decide Papi isn't worth the money they're paying him. But I totally think that given the full time opportunity, he could hit 40.
