I’m asking because the exact same thing happened to me. My first dream car was a completely unattainable sports car—very GTA-style. But now, I’m way more drawn to hot hatches and underrated sports cars that actually hold their value.

In my case, I started and ended with a Japanese and a German car: I went from loving the GT-R R35 and AMG GT to appreciating the Integra Type R DC5 and the Golf Mk4 R32.

That being said, I’ve been thinking about getting a Daewoo Lanos lately… it’s honestly amazing.

Yes, I know some cars like the 4 series or the charger are still offered as a coupe or sedan, but I feel like those are coupe versions of sports sedans. I want coupe versions of regular economy cars back 🥲🥲

'05 Pontiac GTO! Found this on the road, stopped to take a pic!

Actually a lotus elan but sold in Korea as KIA elan.

Also known in the Europe and Australia as Datsun Skyline / 180K / 240K.

Accord was that good I bought one myself

I’m loving this car

Hi, the title is self explanatory. This is the 2004 Ford Taurus ses in my dad's backyard. It's got the 3.0L Duratec V6 making a jaw dropping 201 horsepower. It really has two major issues, those being a dead battery and deflated, worn out tires so I gotta fix that, it does have left over fuel in it and it's been sitting there for more than a year, almost two now so I'll check if that's bad as well. But besides that, anybody here who's had one of these or knew someone, are they any good?

Not even close

I'll be honest, I like the new Slate truck. It's a small, practical, utilitarian, bare bones truck. It's very customizable straight from the factory, it's offered in 3 distinct body styles, and many of the details like rims, headlights, and trim color can be changed. Overall super cool. What I don't like about the new Slate Truck is the price. When it was announced, it was expected to have a base MSRP less than $20k, but now that it's starting production, its base MSRP has rising to $25k. And that's fine, it's still relatively cheap for a brand new car, but it markets itself as having less features than all other modern cars. Like, if I was in the market for a new truck, why would I spend $25k on a slate truck when I can spend $2-3k more and get a ford maverick with a bunch more quality of life features? It would honestly be the perfect EV if its starting price was in the $15-18k range.
