| Re: Complete guide to 2012 - new cars I like the GT86 too, i would've considered one if they were already a few years old and coming down to reasonable prices. I wonder if the engine is turbo charged. 200bhp from a 2.0 NASP seems high, but could be higher if it was turbocharged.
Missed of the vauxhall astra vxline
Also I have noticed the new A4 was the option of coming with WLAN. Any ideas why?

| Re: Complete guide to 2012 - new cars All new cars look like noddy cars these days, all bulbous lines. I saw a juke on the mway yesterday, it looks like a car my mate's 2 year old would draw, cos he's 2 and can't draw properly. |

ehh ? FWD is cheaper to build thats about it, FWD the tyres are put under more strain as they are trying to deal with the power and the turn
thought the gt86 might have been the new supra, seeing the last one was stolen by lexus then cost a hell of alot more than it was supposed to, but at that rating i dont thnk so

Sooo true, the majority of cars are alike, and do look strange |
