^^^ Hmm... Except for a Mirage or two, I haven't seen a newer Mitsubishi on the road for a very long time!

Sadly, I see more of the Mirage on the road than I do the 2012+ Yaris models. I still never see any other SE Yaris on the road. We are the Bigfoot/Yeti of the subcompact world - at least around here.

Last I saw, they added LED to the front bumper of the Lancer. LOL the model still dates back 2008. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |

The Lancer is still a good looking design, even in 2017. Much more aesthetically pleasing (to me) than the latest crap Civic, Fit, Corolla, iA, iM (front), etc. designs. I'm sure it's a financial decision for them to keep the same basic design platform going for that long (as it is with the 2007-2017+ Yaris basically), but I never understood the mentality that a car has to have to completely new look & design every 4 years. I guess the fickle consumer market just demands it for some reason. In many cases, the redesigned models are even less reliable and attractive than their predecessors.

^^^ Chevy Bolt is a very interesting newcomer. Plus, it actually looks good!

The Bolt actually does look good, but that RS is where it's at.

My next new car is a 2016 Yaris lol. Was a sad leftover that needed a home.

I was thinking Mazda 3.
But i am liking what i'm hearing about the new Hyundai Elantra sports ( I30 sports) in other markets. It's fun to drive :) |

The Mazda 3 hatch is really growing on me from a styling perspective. If someone totaled my Yaris, it'd be one of the first cars I test drive.

If someone totalled my Yari tomorrow, I would most definitely just buy another Yaris SE (in blazing blue this time) or an iM (in black only, to blend/hide that front bumper design). |

If someone totaled my Yaris tomorrow, I'd see how long I could manage with just my bicycle. I went a whole year one time without ever taking the car to work. Grocery runs would be hard, though.

https://www.instagram.com/mz3_onlyone/ If I were to get one, it would look something like that, minus the camber. I think it's super class. My ultimate choice would be the Focus RS, but the +$40k price tag puts it right on the fence of unreasonable given the other cars you can get in that price range. Quote:
One of the things I love about Top Gear / The Grand Tour is how good of a job they've done of illustrating the special relationship a person has with their car. It could be the biggest jalopy beater, but if you drive it for a while, for most, it grows on you. Last edited by ern-diz; 02-22-2017 at 04:08 PM. Reason: Type-o's |
