I make dollars, not cents.

Ben, struts do not belong on the front of a FF chassis.

I still want an FR-S with a supercharger on it.

I'm hoping this prompts nissan to bring back the 240SX in some form.. even a 250SX with QR25 would be fine with m

Not trying to knock the car at all, but there isn't anything special to this car. They took a base model Impreza and reskinned it IMO. People can pick that statement apart all they want, but that is what you are buying. It will be a great car and will handle great. It is a proven design and that along with cost is why they did what they did. IMO strut based suspension cars are handicapped, but AWD overcomes a lot of that IMO.


if you say so...there's about 30 reviews on this car that has said otherwise

You can't tell a Lotus owner that there is anything special about this car.

there's a difference between an opinion and educated assessments. do you tell your doc he's an asshole after he's given his assessment, he's basically giving you his opinion isnt he?

and I'd like to see you get 1 review about a Kia that is in comparison to what's been said about the 86. Happy Hunting!

Are you retarded? I said I am entitled to my opinion and that I am an asshole. The post you quoted was my opinion and you countered it with the opinion of others.

My opinion is that it isn't all that special because they reused a lot of the design of the suspension.... There is fact to it. If you want to use a writers opinion that it is special for other reasons to counter that.... by all means go ahead.
