Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?

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!

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?

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. 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.

I didn't know STi's and Evo's were considered "grocery-getters." Only reason I see that could be said is that they have four doors.

Impreza... Lancer.. base models of each car. Both of which I see mom's haulin' around their kids. They are the nicer of the grocer-getters, but I know a lot of people joke of them that way. It's my opinion, but I've heard other people say that to.

Re: Neon? Srt-4? DONE FOR?

Their not grocery getters, their detuned rally cars sold as production cars, cause they have to make productions of the cars they use for rallying. #2 the 1G is way sexyer than a Bubbly 2G!!! #3 anyone thats gone to the track and payed any attention to whats going on around them knows that the SRT-4 neon motor is a very capable motor that can keep up to the cars they always get compaired to, evo's and WRX's. and for a few G's less. Alec proved you can mod a SRT-4 like a DSM, more boost and good gas.
