![]() ![]() Should have bought one of those 10 years ago when they were 1/2 the price. Kind hard to follow genius of the original. Not up on Lexus, but I suppose some of their F Type stuff might be "inspired" They did have that crazy woven carbon fiber supercar a few years ago and I think they have some high end coupe. Civic Si of course, unfortunately now turbo like everything else, but hey, less "work" to go fast than the iconic V-tecs. There is the aforementioned Type R if ADM$$$ doesn't turn you off. A gentleman's version of a Civic Type R with a back seat and no price gouging. Until this year you could get an Accord Sport with the 2.0T and a 6 speed. Honda is also one of the last hold outs for MT cars. I'd think a fuel cell car is pretty inspired. Too bad about the Subaru engine, but at least its good for CG. BRZ - one of only 2 mass produced lightweight (by modern standards) sports cars available in the US. Supra in 4cyl if handling is your thing and 6 cyl if too fast is, assuming you are OK with an AT BMW. Lets see, if you are talking about not boring as meaning a "drivers" car:ģ00hp Camry - no MT but 0-60 in 5.x sec if "cheap" speed your thing, Corolla Hatch with a 6 Speed - not especially fast (by modern standards) but probably fun to wring out. ![]() For the record I prefer understated, so pretty much all new cars suck in that regard. If you referring to styling, that's a different and highly subjective discussion that does not really interest me. But there are plenty of interesting and inspired Toyotas and Hondas, though not many recently, but again that's true for the others as well. I agree that the vast majority of Hondas and Toyotas are transportation appliances, but isn't that true for most full line manufacturers. All the torque of a V-tec is from 4500-6000 rpm, not sure how driving a car like that to make it go is boring. Id be grateful if you could find me a nice MT6 TSX to replace my totaled one. ![]()
