The New Car Fanatic Thread

[Atxracer 797]

I like the front, hate the rear and that tail light...maybe it will grow on me.  Can't wait to see what the Turbo and GT3 put out when the CS and C4S almost beat the 997.2 turbo s on 0-60 times.

New 911 (992) released today.  the "S"  model comes with 443bHP.  0-60 in 3.3 with sport chrono.  starting at $113k.   They're now all wide body which I like.  Tempting.  I skipped the 991 model because I didn't think the variance was that great, and I still loved my 997S so much.  Still do, but it is starting to feel very old and tired inside (no satellite radio, no blue tooth, really old technology), but at the same time it's not a daily drive anymore so I don't think I can justify swapping it for a new 992 unless I also sold my current daily driver.  Paralysis by analysis

 

photoshopped.  i can tell by the reflection.

 

but real talk i prefer the look of the previous generation 911 and box-man before that horizontal striped rear

[ohchaucer 1443]

Unibrow butt. 

[Bert Orange 1120]

That’s an ugly ass. I like the throwback hood.

uh...it's off their website from the official gallery. Not a shop.  At all.  

[pepper brooks 580]

the rear end looks a bit like a retro 959 to me.  I actually like it way more than I thought I would.  

[Atxracer 797]

What's the CD holder in the rear window above the trunk?  maybe it looks better in person.

honestly can't tell if serious considering the dialogue above.  on one hand, could be a funny post.  on the other, a total dumbass post.

Maybe that applies to fatty and me, lol

[fattyflattie 4638]

I am a dumbass, but come on. I went pretty much word for word from peppers post where he missed it. 

My sarcasm may be too subtle.

“Official gallery” would have brought it home.    

[Okie State 3848]

Why's the reflection red? Seems weird.

[Atxracer 797]

It’s photoshopped.  

[Assman 1830]

I like it but it looks a lot like the 991 to me.  The biggest changes are inside...

They like recalling their history.  I think it's of the first gen 911

[Pato del Muerto 52607]

[LonghornJudas 1102]

They're obviously using hydrochromatic (hydro meaning water, for you laypeople) paint that turns red when wet.

Here's from the LA Auto show. Honestly, I'm not crazy about the front end or the back end. Wide body is great. Maybe it'll grow on me when I see it in person.

[G650 14277]

Pass.

the fin things on top of the engine look weird on the blue one.  less so on the silver one.

[texasdago 7580]

The Porsche image makes me think of the Geneva Auto Show... has anyone been?  Is it worth it?  Is it worth it with kids?

Not digging that BMW like gear lever.  They put that in the new Panamera, and I hate it.  Hated in my BMW's.  Hate it more in Porsche's as it reminds me of my BMW's.  

[pepper brooks 580]

tnew BMW Z4 looks incredible.  Straight off their website from the official gallery.  No shopped.  At all.  White doesn't do it justice.

That shit is so ugly it would make Stevie Wonder flinch. Woof.

[52-80 19254]

Pretty bland.  Looks like BMWs last z4 trying to morph into a SLK

[G650 14277]

It looks like a fucking Miata.

[Chewbacca 7787]

Yeah, not a fan of the Z4.  Never have liked the Z series, outside of the Clown Shoe.

No, the one thing Miatas have going for them is that they are simple purpose built machines...  they don't have fake scoops, vents and silly fascia.  Mazda worked hard to keep the weight low and the balance right..  

NB is a great looking car...  fight me if you want

Proportion, line, grace and detailing have left the building, oh how the mighty have fallen.  

Looks like it's had a bad facelift with the headlights stretched more than a Palm beach wifes 60 year old face.  Everything is slightly choppy and heavy handed.

That mazda makes a 2019 road legal car with naturally aspirated 7500rpm engine, 6sp manual transmission, and weighs 2400#, has to be respected

[Loco 3754]

If you can't have fun driving a Miata, you're not a driver.  If you can't appreciate something because you're concerned about your manhood...

I'm currently waffling between a 1966 Mercedes or a DB4 Lagonda for a cruising whip.
