So what car have you been obsessing about today?? (Vol 2)

[neil1jnr]

Nissan Skyline R33's...

[epom]

Mk1 Focus RS.

[SpudLink]

The BAC Mono. Because they are now using graphene. It's got me wondering how long it will be before graphene spoilers, splitters, wing mirrors etc become available for other cars.

[_Rich_]

not usually a fan of modified body kitted cars, but i want this.

[giblet]

I'd rather have this Evo X instead. It has the go as well as some show.

[_Rich_]

yes, after seeing the one i posted had a wonder on lancer register to see what was on offer.

not sure i could live and run one comfortably with the miles i do.

[giblet]

I nearly bought one but the boot was too small for what I need. Averaging 10k miles a year so fuel economy isn't a huge issue.

TVR Chimaera's, not just today but for ages!
Test drove one about three years ago but went the opposite way with a Exige, I'm running out of reasons to keep saying no now

[dfen5]

G-wagon. So bad.

The hurt.

[va1o]

This will get some hate, but I'm sort of tempted by a TT at the moment...



The 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic almost matches an M135i, Golf R or Audi S3 for performance even though it's down on power by 70PS.

[Blayney]

Definitely this.

[alpha channel]

Thumbs up for the Lexus :slobber: as for the TT? I think it's the best looking iteration yet frankly, definitely beats the other three in looks alone.

Merc have released 2016 g wagons in some interesting colours. I admit it I bought a lottery ticket yesterday because of this.

what is so special about a G Wagon? The only people I see driving them are rich "soccer moms" in brand new G 350's and sketchy rich Asians in a G63 ... I've never seen one older than 1 year old. It's like they dispose of them after a certain age!

[patmahe]

Wow, really hope they build this. Assuming this isn't some model that has somehow passed me by.

Who gives a toss. I don't base what cars I like on people who buy them.

Strange attitude for a car forum. But normal for ph these days.

Don't buy one then.

Not really strange.. And no one is forcing me to... It's normal to voice opinions on all the forums I've been on !

G wagen's were once proper, functional cars..special in their own way.. But now they are just fashion on wheels.. Tacky DRL's and fat oversized wheels with naff exhaust tips and interior. There's no point trying to bling up a Motorwagen from 1899 with DRL's and diamond cut wheels on low profile tyres So why would you do that to a G Wagen? At least Land Rover kept it relatively simple and good at off roading.


Painting it orange just makes it worse



I would agree with you if it was this:


A 1989 300 GD.





The one you showed? In orange? With massive wheels and DRL's which look out of place?

No thanks and at £130000+ is certainly a rip off.

At that kind of money you could have:
