Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently!

camryt · June 9, 2011

I've seen a black 192bhp Toyota Corolla T-Sport today. You might say it's nothing special but those car are actually more rare than EP3 Type R's and it's the car I really consider buying when I finally get my driving licence. And Lotus Elise R has the same engine (which would be a proof how good it is).

Pretty damn sure I saw an Aston Martin Virage the other day, I don't even know if they're out yet but I saw an Aston Martin with differently shaped front lights and stupid Christmas tree lights up the one side of them so assumed it was a Virage after seeing a picture of one in Auto Express.

Also saw a 2011 Nissan GT-R with the stupid Christmas tree lights in the front bumper as well.

^ Yeah I saw one inside a dealership here.

Not surprised you couldn't really tell what it was. I hate how Aston's are all the same......

"Our cars don't look the same. They look like Aston Martin's. If you don't like the look, buy another car" - Ulrich Bez

I'm not entirely sure if that was the exact quote, but it goes along those lines. :)

I think they need a bit of variety.

Given how things went when they tried to change stuff (Cygnet, Lagonda Concept) I think they might be better off sticking to what they have now...:cheeky:

I would like a bit more differentiation, but I don't really mind the fact they are all pretty similar much.

It might be the new DB9 because it has those styled lights and the GTR doesnt look too bad with the Leds in the front bumper

CAR SHOW IN LEADFOOT'S TOWN! :D

Sure, it's the antique one, but that doesn't stop everyone with nice modern vehicles from coming out of the woodwork.

BMW M3 (E36)
BMW 323i Baur Convertible Alpina (Baurs are unbelievably rare, and I wasn't even aware that Alpina breathed on any of them. Plus, it's a convertible with a part-way folding roof, so that's cool in itself.)
Ford Mustang GT California Special
Pontiac Bonneville (The classic one)

And my favorite local car...

RUF RGT Cabrio. The thing's really cool - it even has a trailer hitch, used to attach a hitch-mounted bike rack. Oh, and my dad used to bike ride with the owner. :)

The arrival of the Virage makes the DB9 basically dead in the water in my eyes. It has the same prettiness but with a fresher face, better sat nav etc. The DBS is just pure awesome. The Vantages then fit in below, although the V12 V is hardly below.. it's just an alternate form of awesome that isn't quite so pretty. The Cygnet is.. to offset some of the V12 carbon? I dunno. It's ghastly though.

Leadfoot[YT] · June 13, 2011

Teaser from the car show I went to. It wasn't nearly as big as it normally is, due to the rain, but my town was filled with classic cars (and modern new ones like a 2011 GT500 Convertible and a RUF RGT Cabrio).
