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?

FWD is so much more efficient than silly backward RWD (Horses Pull a Carriage The Don't Push)

Depends on the car! lol If you want Brute Force Speed Then FWD is your Man if you want a Ride which feels like a serial killer i.e. the 350Z then RWD Is Great Great Fun

The new Subaru BRZ I think it's called... looked amazing. 300HP from a non turbo engine apparently.

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
