Let's see what has made the jump from Japan since then: the EVO, the STi, the GT-R, the bB (aka Scion xB), the Vitz (Yaris), and a few real Mazdaspeed cars. How about some R love? And have you guys seen Acura's newest cars? Pitiful. No wonder they are falling behind. It's really disheartening to see Honda following Toyota. And of course man up and build us a man's V8 that can slap the ish out of Detroit. You could put into the next NSX while you are at it. If it revs to 10K RPM, then Ferrari will go running again. Hel, a V8 would solve about 50% of Honda's problems. And some more rear-wheel drive would help too.

I think Honda needs to put a V8 vtec in the Ridgeline. My stepdad test drove one compared to all of the other trucks out there the truck for one thing was way to small and also very underpowered compared to Toyotas 380 hp Tundra. Which with how the Tundra is geared to be honest you can't really tell that the power is there. We test drove that my stepdad floored and I quote him "Thats it?". The thing that steers me away from Hondas is the RWD factor. I think it would be super fun to learn how to drift. But, the only RWD car Honda makes is the S2k. Which is a good car don't get me wrong but they have a lot of issues that need worked out. The S2k also is waayyy too expensive to drift in. They are an expensive car to buy. And they are super expensive on insurence, they also can be expensive to fix.

The tC is a huge joke and to those of you who think it's a viable race chassis, look at it this way: The 2001 Integra GS-R handles just as well, weighs less, and cost about the same. And I belive it was about as quick. The feel between the two cars is completely different. Read about SCC's tC and you'll understand what I mean. The fact that Toyota does not have a single performance car in their lineup (the IS-F is a Lexus and unaffordable to the masses) means that GM will retake number 1 by about 2020. That is my guess.

All of the new Toyotas are jokes(including Scions). They are all ugly as hell all but the Tundra and TC. I started on my Tundra Rant. So I'll finish to the designers of the Tundra where the hell is this so called 380 Hp? The Tundra is an awsome looking truck but has no balls. Yes it can tow we all know that. But where is the performance? Big trucks are known for having their ballsy V8's not some so called 380 Hp engine that you cant tell that the horses are there. Any American trucks have a huge advantage over the Tundra because the Tundra is way overpriced and American trucks if you stomp on it you can tell you got some power under the hood. Why in the hell haven't you guys brought the Supra back out!!!!!?? IMO the Supra was the greatest Import Japan has brought over here. And you guys get rid of it to never bring it back? Wtf is up with that?
Misubishi: The new Evo and Eclipses in my opinion are just plan UGLY!.
Nissan: Your trucks blow. I don't like them. They are ugly and all but the outragiously expensive Titan all have a V6. Not going into much detail on how sucky their trucks are. And why the Hell is the 350z and G35.. Oh Wait they got rid of the G35 which was a very good car. But continueing on why is the 350z the only perfomance car you have. And I strongly agree with beater on the SR20.
American Cars: Not getting to started on them. Lets just say pretty much all new American cars suck a§§. I wonder why they can't sell any? Hmmm MAYBE ITS BECAUSE THE RELIABILITY OF YOUR CARS ALL SUCK! Thats for every single American car. The reliabilty since the early 90's of the average American Vehicle Blows balls. All of the brands have tranny issues. All of the brands are known to have vehicles that break down daily.
I'm done with my rant for the day...
