    Most of their vehicles were rebadged Toyotas, so its not that much of a loss. Their own cars weren't all that spectacular, although the TC seemed decent.

    the scion TC: for the ricers who don't know they are ricers yet. THE redeeming quality of the tc was the passenger seat. it folded down flat and made a continuous bed with the back seat. if your in hi school and need a place to hook up with girls because your parents are squares, the TC was the answer.

    I'd totally own a red xb because it looks like a kei-car although it isn't :p So boxy and neat :) I don't understand why this car wasn't brought to Europe...

    I'm wasting time looking around Japan on Google Maps, and I kind of realized that when everyone obsesses over Haruna, Irohazaka, and other big-name mountains, it's really unfair to the approximately 3 billion other good driving roads in Japan. It's also really unfair that the land of kei cars and horsepower limits gets all the good roads (except for the ones in Failifornia and/or Europe).

    I wonder if they are going to use them as cop cars over here?

    I really hope that's not how these Mustangs leave the factory. Those panel gaps are infuriatingly inconsistent, and the bonnet is out of alignment. It's bad enough that it's sitting low, but Ford did that thing where they extend and curve the beltline to the grille and scallop out to the shoulderline which makes bad alignment look 500x worse. :/
    Beautiful car though.

    edit: it's in line with the front bar, which might mean the guard is out, but that can't move down because it's already touching the bar, top snek

    To me it's profoundly annoying when traffic police get access to fast cars.

    My dad managed to get a photo of a mustang convertible just to see if they look the same alignment and panel gap wise.

    How odd is it that the Mustang went from a North America only car, to a world wide car in a year.

    you guys really like the new mustangs? they made it much too flamboyant for me. i like the cobra r from the early 2000s. a proper muscle car that.

    I think this one was designed to get foreigners going as well. This is imo the first sexy Mustang since the 70s

    Yeah I really like the styling, The older 2004 mustang until the around 2010 facelift (iirc) suffered from that fat"I want to look like an old car" issue that most early-mid 2000's classically styled cars did. It was never an awful looking car though.

    Saw a mid 80s Toyota Celica Supra at my local grocery store. It was black and has a roof box on the top. It looked like it was in mint condition. Sure was a beauty.
