Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?

[dumb_ricer]

Actually, the Neon ACR's were very competent autocrossers/roadracers;)

But neons are still wrong wheel drive econobox's that fall apart.

YAY to the demise of cheap CARS.

I guess it depends on what dealer you go to cause where i went, they wanted 31,000$ for an RS Evo.

MSRP for an EVO RS is $29,149. Even at that, anyone who pays MSRP for a vehicle (especially a Mitsu) is a fool.

I understand what you are saying about how damn ugly cars are getting... XB?! That vehicle makes me think who ever designs cars for Scion was really LAZY... I think 1g's are not the ugliest car around, but deffinately not the nicest. However, I have seen a lot of really nice 1g's.. That's just my own personal opinion.

But I do think this vehicle is extremely ugly. It looks like they took the durango, shifted some shit around, thru in some horse power, and called it a day.

The only vehicle designed by Scion is the TC. The others are vehicles that were already being used in Japan under the Toyota badge. And since Scion is owned by Toyota, they just used the already existing design. I personally don't mind them at all. Maybe it's because I lived in Japan for a year and those kinda vehicles are what 90% of the island drove, so they just grew on me.

Anyhow, ya that Dodge think is ugly!

Looks like a Pt curser and a durango had sex.

I don't like the XB's.. Like I said, they make me think the designer was lazy... But to each their own, and I never knew that.. Though it makes sense.

Personally, I really like SRT-4's. In the beginning of the thread [I may have misread] it seemed like a few of you were hating on them a little bit, but they are really nice. Especially Alec's. Well maybe that has something to do with the fact that he waxes it like every other or something. :rolleyes: But it's quick, and it sounds nice, and I think they look good. Especially with Eye Lids. The concept of the SRT-4 is interesting to me, as well as the STi and EVO's... A basic "grocery-getter"... and all of the sudden, its quick! And people want them! However, I wouldn't be going out and spending$20-30k on one. But I do like them.

So let me get this straight.. It's an SUV/Mini Van thing? No.. Alec.. Come on now...

Why is everyone complaining about it being ugly... 1g's are ugly.. and don't even try to say they aren't.. I know a lot of DSMers who admitt it!
I guess it just depends on your opinion. I think the same about the 2g's. The majority of the 2g people are more concerned with carbon fiber hoods, lowering kits, body kits and wheels than performance.

Haha, like you just stated, it's a matter of opinion. I can't talk though, but mine's slow so it doesn't count. any 2g should have a lowering kit.. most don't look right with out it. And I'm not saying I wouldn't ever get a 1g either, I want one next spring, but we will have to wait and see.

They all look like pure ass.
Damn... i thought a pure ass was a good thing, times are a changin.
Neons sucks bar none. Remember what happened to that last noob that liked them on this site. LOL jk
Tauni perhaps likes them because her car has a neon motor. OOOOoooo Diss.

[MustGoFaster]

XB = Toaster. Just think about that next time you see one.

As for the Neon replacement thing, I think it will just be another Neon, except it won't say Neon. Cheap Econo car with a 235HP motor in it, and some other stuff changed to hold up to the power. A true sports car? No. Fast? Possibly, depends on how heavy it ends up being.

As for the 2G VS 1G thing, I say they're both ugly. GVR4 for life.

How about the supercharged cobra for the fastest car under $30k?
