After getting cut up for about the billionth time tonight, I pondered if there was such a thing as a car with enough presence, which may make these mouth breathing tts at least use their indicators?

I don't mean obvious candidates like hummers or big 4x4s but maybe something like an Evo VI, with its brutish stance and (perhaps) slight whiff of drug dealer*, would be less prone to some idiot moving into a space in a lane, which you currently happen to be occupying?

I realise I'm asking the impossible, (for these idiots not to be idiots), but welcome your suggestions, as it's seriously one of the requirements for my next car. (My current car is a Skoda Fabia, I like it very much, however, I do get the impression sometimes that, before they attempt a stupid manoeuvre, the opposition driver thinks "it's only a Skoda").





  • I like Evo VIs, I'd have one in a second, I'm not running them down.

biglaugh OK, so my next car needs to be a battered old TVR Sagaris with the exhaust hooked up to a big PA system smile

On serious note there are some lovely cars on this thread. A Quantum of Solace was on the other night, that was a 159 in the car chase at the start? lick If only they did the 159 GTA frown

To the averages motorist it nothing special, just a chavved up bland car, so why would they see it as having any presence.
Which is no different to the Evo 6 pictured in the OP's post ...
FWIW I think all R32/33/34 Skylines have road presence, especially the GT-Rs, hell I have a thing for the 1st generation GT-Rs, not to mention the R35.
