What will your next car be?

[tarkus]

The Mazdas are decent looking cars overall. However I see a lot more Mazdas on the road with rust issues, than any other Japanese brand. Even cars that are only a few years old. Mazda 3s appear to be the worst, but I see some other current models with rust as well. Puts me completely off of Mazda.

I'm alsonot keen on a lot of Toyota and Honda's futuristic styling these days, especially what they've done with the Rav4. However, I quite like the current Camry and Corolla styling.

Anyone got thoughts on Mitsubishi?

I would have gone for a Mirage if they'd been around a little longer, but they're not far enough down the depreciation cycle yet. They're very reliable so far, from what I've read. Lots of Geo Metro owners have embraced them as the Metro's modern replacement.

They're coarse, loud, slow, and cheap in every way, good and bad. But they're put together in a way that makes them easy to work on, and they get 40+mpg without any hybrid or turbo shenanigans. It takes a certain kind of person to appreciate a car like that.

Lotus Elise S/C or a custom MR conversion on my del Sol.

man talk about expensive. Although I will say they are rather nice inside, just too big for me. I'd mistakenly drive over a car or two without realizing.

Not that expensive( about 50k loaded )well more than a Yaris lol but lots of GM offers plus 1% interest and definitely a lot bigger .
Still gone keep the Yaris for now probably sell it in the summer .

A truck? I saw this one at Barrett-Jackson yesterday, but it doesn't cross the block until tomorrow. Gas is cheap, go get this one.

Hell no to all these trucks lol. I get annoyed enough with people's parking jobs as is. I swear to Christ I'd monster truck some of these idiots cars if I drove one of those behemoths.

The Sonic doesn't look bad, but like Hyundai, I'd worry about reliability every time I took it out on the road.

If my car was totaled tomorrow, and had to be replaced ASAP, I would be looking at the following as a potential replacement:

First Choice - 2017 Toyota Yaris SE (Probably in Blue Streak Metallic, Magnetic Gray or Classic Silver Metallic this time, just to change things up a bit)
Second Choice - 2017 Toyota Corolla iM (ONLY in black - to blend/hide what I hate about the front bumper/grill design)
Third Choices - Upper-trim model 2017 Mazda3, Mazda CX-3, or Subaru Impreza

another sign that front end styling has gotten so awful--Chevy offering five or so "special edition models" of its mainstay truck...each a different color with all the goofy trim painted body color. In some ways the industry is at about 1958...wonder if clean executions are in the pipeline. Who's got the Edsel now?
