It's fantastic in person! The only thing I don't like is how the screen looks like an afterthought like Mercedes and Audi have adopted.

Later today. I'll get something for you guys.
Didn't get to test drive it since they only have the automatic transmission. I'll be going back there in three weeks to test drive a manual one.

It does look pretty funny. haha If you look at it from the front, it looks very odd since this huge rectangular thingy is in the middle.

Nooooo, I know how it would drive already. That MotorTrend ND vs. BRZ review nailed it.
I want to get a ND Miata, but it would have to be my 2nd car.
Would keep the ND for a DD and make the BRZ a track car.

That's the future of the nav. screen at the moment where it looks like it was just slotted in. BMW & Lexus are slowly moving that way.

^ JS was that a Ceramic Club? I've yet to see the Ceramic in person, only the Crystal White Pearl GT that I drove. Want to see the Arctic White & Ceramic side by side to figure out which I like more, CWP not available on Club trim.

Shoot, I'll write up the review real quick.
True but this one looked extra odd for some reason.
The interior should NOT sway the purchase decision on car like this though.
Yes, this was the Ceramic Club. The paint looks FANTASTIC.

^ Can't wait to see one in person. Ceramic Club 6MT with Brembo/BBS is where my eye is right now.
Hoping the Recaros make it here as well.

If I were to get one, I would get the same Ceramic white in a basic trim (Sport) and use the leftover for the mods. The car gets very expensive easy with different trims and options.
The Sport has the MSRP of $26K at the dealership. You can only get the Brembo/BBS package for the Club trim. That one is $34K.
I would spend $8K on the mods.

I wouldn't bother getting a new sports car for at least five years. So happy with how my BRZ is set up right now.
I want a Minivan as my second car since we are planning to have a baby soon!! I want that Sienna Swagger Wagon.

Well, the extra clearance helps...which is why I'm in a CUV. But, I know what you mean. Next vehicle is back to being a standard car...thinking E-Class Estate or something. But, still at least 2-3 years out.

hehehe I know.
I just like minivans, it's just so convenient. It'll perfect for the family!
My wife will always have something cool like a wagon or crossover.
Those E-Class Estates look PIMP! Looks awsome.

Had a new Ford Edge for a rental over the weekend, put 700 miles on it. Loved it.

A man said they like Minivans. Someone definitely needs to see a doctor.

I like minivans too. Come at me bro.
Seriously when my kids were young I had an Accord coupe and a Jetta. The Jetta was so damn tiny. Got an MPV and it was so convenient for 2 car seats and a double stroller that barely fits in a Jetta trunk. Plus gas wasn't that bad and it drove good. Helped me deliver a 60" TV while the cool SUV's were struggling to take theirs home from Brandsmart. Utility beast.

Likely getting one for my wife in the not too distant future. Then my MX5 Club will follow.

The only minivan I think is cool is the GMC Vandura used by the A-Team.

I liked how the Previa looked for a minivan. But, I think of the Japanese ones back then in our yoots, I think the best one was the MPV...?
I know my pops always wanted the Mazda.
Poor guy could only afford a Ford Aerostar...sigh. And the Aerostar? It sucked more than Brady's supple balls ruling reversal.
