Okay well, the OTHER Jaguar ad where the three Jaguar R-models are driving around professionally in a playground is better.
Name an ad, and I'll counter with one of Jaguar's.

Wow that was... damn that was snappy.
There is nothing Alpha can post to counter/beat that. Nothing. LOL

Those are hardly commercials, imo. But fine...

I wasn't home all night.
And I'm actually surprised I even had to counter. I figured everyone would just assume I'd post Jaguar's short film on the F-Type.

Damn, I had forgotten about that. That's a good film.
Boring. I only made it halfway through. Straight roads and way too much bad acting. Do you not get what makes the BMW ads great is that they DRIVE the cars? This is like a fucking daytime soap opera damn.
I was just saying I like their ads lately... didn't mean to turn it into a pissing match

Man are you in the wrong thread.

I can't disclose financials.
My allegiance to Coventry is more than just money. I bleed Anglo-red.
My first toy car was a Jaguar E-Type Series II when I was 5.

Coventry, Yokohama or Coventry, Hong Kong?

when is the STI version of the BRZ getting here?
Never, as far as I know. Subaru claims they don't want to make one, last I remember? Might be a lie though. They teased one as a concept car and it was BEAUTIFUL.
Way late and completely forgot there was a new thread but you could do a lot worse then an e46 coupe. I have a 06 330ci with the ZHP performance package. 6 speed manual of course!
Common issues:
Cooling system components (expansion tank, water pump, thermostat)
Oil leaks (valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket)
PCV valve in colder climates
The much mentioned window regulators
VANOS rattle which is more of an annoyance than a major issue
They are pretty easy to work on and there are DIYs for just about any job if you are inclined.
The last model 3 I would own without a warranty attached.
Absolutely love my car and it sucks that the weather is so inhospitable in west Texas that trying to keep it clean or waxed is an exercise in futility. Poor thing gets sand blasted on a daily basis.

Finally decided to get rid of the '13 ZL1 and get something new. After test driving everything I could get my hands on, went with this, and so far I'm having an absolute blast! It's not nearly as fast the ZL1, in a straight line anyway, but holy fuck is it fun to sling around curves. Gonna drive it for a year or so and get a Z06 Stingray when they're widely available.
Any of you guys used general tires? I looked up the Grabber UHP for the past two weeks and it's hard to find info about them. Most every says they are great tires for the price, but I don't see anything bad about them or anything middle of the road.
They're going on a small truck, so it's not really a big deal, I just don't want the person dying on the highway because the tires exploded on the freeway.

Congrats!!!
I miss my 370Z. The dealer finally sold it after having it for sale for the past 7 weeks. Great car, astoundingly reliable.
I've never fapped at work, but I might have to make an exception for this.Never, as far as I know. Subaru claims they don't want to make one, last I remember? Might be a lie though. They teased one as a concept car and it was BEAUTIFUL.
If this were released in the states, looked like that, and was around $30-35K, I would risk my wife's cold shoulder for a month to trade in my EX35 for it.
I know, dude. Fucking gorgeous. Subaru loves to disappoint, though.
Although, here's food for thought: perhaps the new STI will share a motor with a BRZ STI and that's why they haven't updated the new-gen STI's motor yet? Would explain why it's a carryover... they needed more time to finish up the turbo motor.

It's so fun to drive! I missed seeing what you changed to. I remembered you had a 370z but that's it. Did you have trouble at first getting used to the stick shift on these? Fuck me it's like on a hair trigger. Took me a week or two but in settled in nicely now.
Amazing how every riced out Civic on the road with a fart-can exhaust strapped on thinks he needs to take me on now...
What the fuck Smokey?
And yeah, go learn on something else. When you heel-toe and match the revs perfectly into a corner, you will feel like a god amongst men.
I grew up and live in Houston, TX bruh
I bet you've never experienced shit traffic like I do everyday. It takes me 1 hr+ each way from my place to work.. 20 miles from my house.
If it rains I have to endure the San Antonio commute. Why do I call it that? Because it takes the same amount of time for me to get home as it would for me to get to another goddamn major city.
There is supposed to be an STi trim in 2015... but AFAIK it is only going to be rims and spoiler parts, no turbo, no suspension tweaks, no brake upgrades, no engine upgrades.

get a beater miata.
and never fap to subaru concepts, you'll always feel sad and disappointed afterwards.
Although the new sti doesn't look too bad in person.

They have a STI package which is Japan only (I sat in it at the Tokyo Auto Show). I remember reading something about Toyota and Subaru's contract preventing them from making a true STI version for a few more years. Also I hate that wing. Love everything else about that picture.
Guys, I am looking to buy a used car [nothing over 15k] and I kind fell in love with a Jeep Liberty Sport 2008 with low mileage.
Question; is that a good SUV? or I should keep looking? another car on mind is a Hyundai Tucson [2007 to 2010] A lot of people told me that those models are great

I'm from PDX mostly. I drove a Wrangler manual in Portland gridlock, and that clutch takes like 100 lbs of pressure to depress!
But yeah, it's really rewarding to drive manual. Definitely find a way to do it before you get the Stingray

Check to see if there's a driving school in your area that has a manual car... That or a friend who has a manual car that you can tinker with.

Getting excited about subaru concepts is exactly like getting drunk and going to bed with a fat girl.

Yeah, the clutch took about a week or two to get used to - no room for error. It's lash city if you don't slip it just right.
I traded the car in two months ago for a fully loaded Infiniti M56S w/Aero Pkg. It's virtually a 370Z with a 5.6L 440HP V8.

Hahaha. Somebody asked me the other day which I liked more...and I realized how parents feel when they're asked the same question of their kids.
Both are such amazing machines.

What.
Oh.
Was in Houston a couple of months ago and my bro drove his 6 month old Mazdaspeed 3 over there... yeah.
Another reason why Dallas is so much better, traffic here is shit but I can actually drive stick and not hate it.
Nice car AlphaSnake, always enjoy seeing them in this thread, especially considering that brand is practically non-existant here in Germany. Sure you see one every now and then, but it's still pretty rare.
I love this thread, glad it got renewed.
Weather was awesome today so I washed my car and took it for a spin. Need to give it a proper polish and wax soon though.

Motortrend put the Camaro Z/28 against the 911 Turbo S and the GT-R, and the Camaro won.
I'm curious how much of a market there is for a $75k Camaro. Impressive, though. Also, I knew the GT-R had crept up in price, but I didn't know it could approach $200k. Geez.

That's really impressive and everything but... the Z/28 is pretty much a dedicated track car that showed up on R-comps so I'm not super-duper surprised.
Fucking hell. I need this in my life.
