I find it interesting that many of you are not biased to RWD cars after owning the G. I've driven mainly Euros for about 18 years until buying my G, but part of the reason for buying it was the RWD. I see a lot of FWD cars being considered for the next one. Not surprised to see AWD. I personally just DO NOT like driving a "performance oriented" FWD car. Performance and FWD do not go together imo
For me, it has to be a RWD car and a proper 4 wheel drive (not AWD).

Not that you should want one, I'm just saying the technology has come a long way.

When I am done with school and have a steady job I am seriously planning on getting the Chevy SS Sedan. I love sleepers and the sound of that V8 is amazing. I love the Gs and other Infiniti models, but it is just way too common here in California. Drive down Highway 101 and G37s/Q50s are about as common as Camrys and Accords. One thing I like about the Chevy SS is that it is an unpopular car. I have only seen one here in my city, and it was in the dealership! For me it is always nice to have a rare car. Makes it stand out in the crowd. My current G37 is an amazing car, but it blends in way too easily especially the non sport version.

None at all in the Civic Type R, as demonstrated here (skip to 10:37-the forum format didn't keep the timestamp): https://youtu.be/UTURtQvSvHI?t=637

- That guys a douche
- Try the same thing while turning
- That car looks hideous
Have we really reached a point where people are arguing that FWD = RWD??

I don't know that I could go back. I would need to do a test drive first. I've had some pretty well sorted FWD cars and they were fun, but equally sorted RWD cars are just that much better. But you have to pay for it.

Sure, Doug DeMuro seems like a douch, and probably is. But his videos are interesting, and you got to respect how he carved a career out of youtube by simply putting himself out there.
And yes, the Type-R is a joke of a car. But Honda isn't marketing that car to adults.

Totally get that it's got all these goodies and optio-
At the end of the day, you still have to explain why you dropped 50k on a Civic...

I've only seen one in my area which is very pro 'Merica. So it's rare to see one. That said, Even my G is a rarity around here so I still feel special
Where I work though, they're (G) a dime a dozen, but none are modified in any way.

Mike is bringing his modified, Holden-converted Chevy SS 6MT to the annual meet-up tomorrow. Drive down and take a look.

Badly wish I could but I have an appt. in NY at 10:30am then have to run my better half back down to MD for her Bachelorette party at 5:30pm. Going to be a long day. I was trying to squeeze it in since I think Mica mentioned possibly bringing the RX-7. Really wanted to check it out if he did since I've never seen one for more than a brief second.
Always had a thing for the 4th Gen GTO so the Holden/ Chevy SS speaks to me.

Plus I think the ATS-V might be nearly as cheap as I keep reading that Chevy plans to axe it in the next couple years. It might be a hard car to pass up, even over the much better looking BMW M3 as I am sure the price gap will widen as the Caddy will most likely depreciate more.
