I popped in today to catch a different perspective outside of the regular Honda stuff I follow. @Haste Literally more thorough coverage than I've seen elsewhere, thank you. I don't care for the 11th gen base model, but the R has some decent upgrades that are making me take a second look. My...

I spoke too soon. HKS had a GR Yaris (same G16E-GTS engine) pushing 475 over a year ago on stock internals. Granted, this is with a bigger turbo, running a 100 shot of nitrous and running motec in place of the factory ECU, but the engine seems plenty capable. I still think Toyota tuned this...

Complete speculation on my part: A well built engine with a couple racecar tricks, lots of linear boost, direct and port injection, and I'm betting a factory tune as close to safety thresholds as Toyota's legal dept will allow. While I'm sure there's room to grow, I have a sneaky feeling we're...

It might be too far out, but if enough info is released about the one on the left before I can get a Z in the color/spec/price I want, I'm going to seriously rethink my options. Not if were looking at another 8 years wait...but 3-5, I might be able to exercise some patience.

I feel perhaps you're overestimating the attention span, and underestimating the general apathy of the average consumer. We're enthusiasts who frequent a message board, so we don't fall into that category, but I think overall people will forget.

Agreed. However the reality is that we live in a culture of "I want it and I want it NOW" and people don't care what it does to the overall market, because hey, they've got theirs.

120+ more HP factory in the same chassis isn't that much of a difference? The tuning potential of the S58 is also more reminiscent of the 2JZGTE. This is where the real dyno queens will be made. I agree with you on the DCT. I love the engagement of rowing my own gears but I'm not married to...

If they bring over the S58 it might be the game changer that takes the Zupra out of the A80's shadow. Doubt they'll be able to mate it to a 6 spd m/t though. Also doubt BMW will give Toyota that much sauce.

I may sound like a broken record always talking about the Civic, but on the Honda side of things, 100% yes. Seems like there's a lot of sign and drive going on, followed by buyers remorse or unwelcome financial reality. Pretty much weekly I see people trying to get out of their note with 45k+...

That white thing in my avatar. The R doesnt feel like a "forever" car, but the longer I have it, the more I mess with it. The longer Nissan takes to roll this thing out, the more I'll have gotten the FK8 just right. Some day I might come around to loving it enough to decide it stays. I...

This. Road trips are always nice. You get the break in period out of the way too, if there is one. Alternately, prior to the explosion in fuel pricing, you could pretty much fly in an out of a city anywhere in the states, and arrange to have the car shipped in a closed trailer back home for...

There's a chance it might change these days. Marketing has changed, and they pulled the ol reverse card. The higher price of an A/T is built into the standard pricing. M/T's are now only typically offered on sport or performance models, these are considered to be upper tier trims. It might...

My son, this is a ?TA?CO?MA. By the time I'm ready for another truck it'll be one of those stainless steel doorstops Elon will have for sale on Mars. ??? In all seriousness I haven't even looked. When it comes to a daily I don't need a new vehicle, and I'll be driving this thing until the...

I daily a '13 Taco 4 cyl m/t. I have next to no pictures of it. I have more pics of a 4runner I rented once. I love this truck but I really dont treat it like I do. It hasnt been washed properly in 2 years.

Seems like another good tool to have while shopping for Z's once they drop. The FK8 forum has a naughy/nice list thats been around since the Type-R launched. I bet you can guess which one is longer. Maybe we can get something like that for here?

DI & Port injection. Less than 200 lbs more than the FK8, similar power. Rear biased AWD. Definitely upping the competition in the hot hatch game. I love Toyota, this thing is going to be great but I'm still waiting for the Z.

It's always surprising what JDM fanboys are willing to pay for quirk. Motocompo's have been seen going for upwards of 10k by themselves. It's *sorta* clean, but its still a kei.

This color was initially my top choice, but after finally seeing it in person on a Rogue the other day I'm a little underwhelmed. It's still a contender, but now I'm not so locked in. I have to see it for myself on a Z before I'm sold.

I was thinking ZEDDO but I might change my mind by the time I find the right Z. RI sucks for vanities, you can only have up to 6 letters or up to 4 letters followed by 1 or 2 numbers. Our DMV isnt even taking requests for vanities right now, its been closed for months while they deliberate on...
