OH for sure. Cut the grass once a week, drive the car once a month. I went outside today and my car was totally yellow from just sitting there in the pollen. Might wash it, or not. what's the point.
The new TLX was also revealed today and I actually really like it. To me it looks better than the stinger or genesis. I also always loved the way the old TL-S looked. I just hope this car has the performance to back it up.
I was impressed when I saw the concept and this is pretty close to it. If I decide to move to a 4dr this would be in the running depending on the hp and $$. No manual isn't a deterrent for me but no shift **** looks weird. Seems like at some point all A/Ts will have buttons instead of *****. I really like that blue too.
Same - my ideal spec would be the blue with CF accents. Looks great. I much prefer this to the G70 / stinger which would also be contenders for my replacement car. I always liked Hondas - my first 2 cars were Hondas, and now I have the S2k for my manual fix as well.
I hate the buttons for shifting as well - but we just gotta get used to it. Nobody puts real shifters anymore

I like the TLX concept too. I hope the Type-S is cool. New G70 and Stinger were just testing at the Nurburgring so I am curious to see their updates. Personally, I am more interested in the new Z, STI, Golf R, M3, and CT4-V Blackwing. There, waiting for the release of all of those cars should give me enough of an excuse to keep my "370GT" a little longer.

It's been 3 weeks since I upgraded my brakes, and I'm probably all of 20 miles into this 500 mile break-in period.
With respect to "next car", I guess what I'm saying is that now I'm wondering why I have this car at all, much less what my next car will be.
I think my life will have to significantly change before I can start caring about what car I'm driving, if at all.

Rochester you can take your car for nice long drives to clear your head/bed in your new brakes every once in a while. I know I did that a few times while I was not allowed back at my work.
I feel you John. Mine hasn't moved since March - I'm wasting all this sub-$2 gasoline out there. I think our gas budget went from $250/month down to... Well, I filled up the CX5 last in April. So $12? I've put more mileage on my mountain bike than the G, which sounds healthy but really isn't all that great.
Pandemic. Riots everywhere (my office, where I wasn't working at, just closed down again due to riots across the street), Homeschooling. I think my next vehicle might be a sailboat filled with survival food, and come back and check on things in a few years.
The Viper is on my 'wish list' of cars to own so I took the opportunity to drive a 17' Viper GTC the other day. As I imagined, the car manages to put the power down very well making the acceleration quite brutal. No drama, it just sticks and goes. Suspension is quite stiff and jarring, not as plush as the Corvettes I've driven however I don't think I would mind it. Interior is quite nice however it is tight for my 6'4" frame. Seems to have similar space as the C7 but with more headroom. Maybe I just didn't have enough seat time to get comfortable. Overall, it was everything I imagined and more. If I can get one in the 60k range one day, I would consider it but reality is I really need a 4 seater with the baby on its way. It won't stop me from dreaming however!
In other thoughts, driving a car like this makes the G feel completely gutless.
I wish they actually manufactured the Alfa Romeo Diva. I remember when the concept arrived in 2006 and I really hoped back then that they would have made it. Looks like a baby Enzo. The side mirrors are a bit of an issue though since it looks weird being high up. I would drive a machine like that everyday. But, it would be prone to breaking since it is an Alfa. It came with a 3.2 liter V6. It would have been better if they used a F136 V8 from Ferrari.

The rear fenders and headlights look a lot like the 4C. Is it a lot bigger than the 4C?
I forgot to post up about the upcoming Mustang Mach 1 last week. It looks like it could have even more power than the GT350 and it is supposed to be the most track focused N/A Mustang. I wonder if the new Z will be competitive with this car. https://carbuzz.com/news/2021-ford-m...l-than-bullitt
