The “My Back Hurts” Thread

Yea I've sat in one and wasnt a fan of how the shifter felt in my hand.

 

I've driven a few Lexus IS models and the 350 F sport is a damn good product, I want one but I'd have to save up for a while haha. The quality of the materials inside that thing absolutley kills cadillac and BMW and it is a blast to drive. It just feels solid.

Toyota isn't really behind on tech on their latest releases, just the older stuff like the Tundra.

 

I drove one and didn't really like it. It was fast sure, but the interior materials look and feel so cheap. The Camaros V6 actually sounds really good for a V6, and this new alpha platform has car reviewers foaming at the mouth. I will have to drive it when I get serious about getting a performance car.

 

But like how much is the price difference from the v8?

 

That’s why they have Lexus

 

from what I've seen its about 7-11k more for a V8 looking at the 2015s

So like I could get the V6 for ~17k or the V8 ~27k for that year. It is a pretty substantial difference, I would rather get the 2016+ models because apparently everything about them is better. From what I see online with the 6MT the V6 gets around a 5.3 second 0-60 which is plenty to have fun with in my opinion.

 

The only 2 things to come out of Lexus that are worthwhile... and worth the money, are the IS-F and LFA. Short names for some extraordinary cars.
Toyota's trying something new with the C-HR but they need to step it up quick. I'm hoping the 4runner starts the ball rolling and the Tundra comes next, this "new" Tundra refresh is BS. The new Camry looks pretty nice but its still the same front engine front wheel drive bogged down stump as the previous generation. It may be sexy on the outside, but its a box of rocks on the inside.

 

False.

IS 350 F sport
LC500
LS500
RC 350 F sport
RCF
GS 350 F sport
GSF

 

False pretenses of wanna be "sports cars"
Kind of like BMW sticking "M" on a 240i and calling it a day, its either an M car or its not

 

I guess 470 HP V8s just aren't enough for people these days.

 

NVR ENGH

 

I do like the LC500. At least that'd what I think its called. Expensive as hell though

 

Do it! That would be hilarious. Jon could buy it, he lives like 30 mins from the dealership lol

 

I'd through in RFC too, but that's the only those are the only 3 Lexus cars I would ever want

 

I watched a POV test drive with headphones and that 5.0 sounds disgusting when it shifts.

 

True, I bought a cheap intake and it cheap muffler, Because I like the sound a little bit better. 0 gains expected

 

I drove a 228i and that was a fun car to “only” have 240 hp. That sucker pulled and I was shocked by the amount of torque it had down low too.

I’d want one if I trusted BMW

 

Theres horror story's of every single brand so I wouldn't really believe much and just get what you like. Only exception is Alfa's

 

True but BMW vehicles seem to be plagued with issues. They aren’t cheap things either, like how the N20 in that 228i had timing chain issues where it would take a dump at low mileage.

 

I don't think Alfa Romeo is popular enough yet.

still expensive. Not sure how accurate but price I saw said starting at 34k.. there's e9x m3s in the low 20s now
