facelifted SEAT Leon?

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. :)

Stupid marketing gimmick...

Heck, everything looks great on Forza 3...

:bump: Entry deadline approaching...

Chrysler 300C

Yeah. Up till 2005, ALL Lexuses were actually Toyotas in their native Japan. So the Lexus IS = Toyota Altezza Lexus RX = Toyota Harrier Lexus GS = Toyota Aristo Lexus LS = Toyota Celsior Lexus SC = Toyota Soarer

Wow, it'd be a huge shame to lose that circuit and all that history and heritage Petition signed!

I don't think I'm going to bother with this week's SOTW. The Forza entries are simply too :drool: for any other games to have a chance

I like the idea behind the selective de-saturation, but I think the red is a bit too strong. Maybe you should tone it down a little...

Here's my Boss Mustang from NFS Carbon http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/NFS%20Carbon/nfscarbon098.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/1carfreak1/NFS%20Carbon/nfscarbon099.jpg

*even sadder face* If only I had an Xbox... :(

Really difficult toss-up between EyeKatcher, twm and Andreaz I loved the lighting in EK's shot, and Andreaz's hamster is just too irresistibly cute, but i voted for twm in the end. That stare is really intense and i love the DoF. Great to see so many entries this week though!

What made you think the 7-series owner did it? And why your car? After all, a 320i really isn't that uncommon in Singapore...

What I don't get is why the grammar and spelling are so completely off in the original link... I initially thought it was a literal translation from another language, but seeing the link severely diminishes its credibility in my eyes. iLLGT3: I think an ECU re-map would help a lot in fixing your fuel economy woes...

Well at least we have this game going again... Although I have no idea what that car is. A hint, maybe?

It's not really that beautiful, but I think it looks pretty awesome. The styling features are so exaggerated, it's almost like something Hot Wheels would make for a toy

Lol, brilliant thread title! I actually thought it was some comparison between an electric, hybrid and diesel car! Gosh those are such brilliant circumstances for a crash! Anyway, like Shadow said, it's pretty obvious the Telsa got shoved under the Touareg by the Prius. Notice how much damage there is to the rear of the car, compared to the front where the structure is still intact.

Which is why they need to put a Lexus badge on it, because people simply won't spend that kind of money on a Toyota, where the first thing that comes to mind would be "Corolla" or "Camry". This is the same reason why there isn't a Nissan badge on the front of the GT-R. And about which company's in better financial shape, well I don't recall Toyota needing billions of dollars from the government just to stay afloat... With regards to how much the thing actually costs, and how ridiculous the price seems to you guys, have any of you heard of a Veblen Good? It's an economics term where demand for a good actually increases as the price goes up, due to its snob appeal and exclusivity (and with a production run of only 500 cars, this thing is pretty exclusive). And why would people even want to spend that much on a Toyota/Lexus in the first place? Well there are some people who don't want a Ferrari or Lamborghini, simple as that. Finally, about the car: I love it, but I preferred the concept's styling. Looked much cleaner and smoother, especially the Roadster concept. Oh well, at least the styling changes are for a good cause: The engineers managed to find and extra 17mph in top speed with the styling tweaks

Definitely Charger. THE coolest, most menacing muscle car from the '60s, and a damn sight cooler than anything on sale today

It is for this precise reason that I chose the Viper. Ferraris take themselves way too seriously, whereas the original concept of the Viper (huge truck engine in a sports car body) was really bonkers and thus interesting

Amazing video there. We definitely need to see more of this sort of racing in motorsports these days. Screw diffusers and complicated aero packages, and give us back some proper wheel-banging racing! Anyway, not sure if this has been show here before, but i think it's really good

Viper. Just so much cooler and better looking than the Fezza

Don't +rep him! :bananamad:
