Still only at 170hp
This guy must have some serious driving skills to smoke the tires on a car with only 170hp.

Anyway, unless I hit the lottery I have a feeling my next car will be C6 Corvette. It's much cheaper than my first choice of either a Boxster S or Cayman S. I have a big job interview on Tuesday which could land me a pretty lucrative job. So, maybe I can afford a Porsche . . . who knows???

The MX-5 is getting Lots of rave reviews from the auto press. I personally love the look of it and it has a ton of standard features as well as a ton of nice options available

A Huge step foprward in the right direction for Mazda!

We've got two extra drivers in the house now (4 drivers, 3 cars, 4 kids), so the S is my daily driver. Problem is there are still times that being able to carry 2+ passengers would be extremely convenient. Too the point that I sometimes contemplate trading the S in for something with a back seat

But then I take a top-down weekend road trip with the +1, two sets of clubs, luggage, beach stuff, etc. and I remember that the S is the perfect car!

The S is a classic and a keeper.

Just happened upon some spy shots of the next gen Audi TT. If it's lighter than the previous gen then I may consider it. It's bigger so I doubt it.

I also read that there will be an RS version which will compete with the BMW M3 and BMW Z4M and Porsche Boxster S. With some snow tires I could easily use a TT with Quattro all year. Also, they would have to put it together better than the last gen too! My '00 TT used to break all the time and was not cheap to fix.

Ha... there's a better chance for human to regress back to monkey than Audi to make a lighter new model.

Edit: except maybe the A8 w/ the alum. body
