We've got a 2014 Mazda 6 at work which is pretty sweet. We've been taking turns bombing it down the block. Also apparently the CX7 is getting rid of the v6 and making it a diesel. I'm excited. Not something you usually see in America.

I love the look of the Corvette but I don't really like how it looks pretty much exactly the same with every iteration. This one looks pretty nice, I'll have to check it out at work, but it still looks like the last one.

 

 

7 speed Manual trans is nice though.

LOL quad tailpipes

It looks nice actually, better than I expected.

Eh, I like the z06 or zr1 alot better. Not saying it's that bad like I wouldn't drive it or something but it's definitly not what the others vettes are though.

[Sneakerhead.]

BEST LOOKING VETTE YET!

[Lurch]

Looks good. GM's always done a good job making Ferrari clones.

[evh5150vanhalen]

I like it..... Too bad I'll never own one because I don't fit the typical Corvette buyer description..

60 years old, sandles with socks with kacki shorts that likes to drive 55 in a 70....

I can't wait until next month with they show off the new SS. I'm actually interested in that car.

[Outcast]

That 'vettes gonna cost as much as a Ferrari if it comes to China. It does look amazing though, first Corvette I really like.

[SRB]

 

That dash looks like a video game. Like one of those racing games at a bowling alley or arcade. Not saying I don't think that interior is bad, but it seems futuristic kinda.

[Kifflom112]

Yeah it's quite impressive, inside and out. I don't think it's going to cost 60K at the lowest here anymore though, lol.

I like how everything is angled towards the driver. Makes it feel like a real drivers car. Reminds me of the Supra interior.

[Carlover325]

The new Corvette is very nice. It's the biggest change since 1997. I just don't like the red interior.

[sivispacem]

That's probably the best looking interior I've seen in a yank tank.

Still looks like it was designed to be MR layout rather than FR.

[SuperVeloce]

New Corvette looks f*cking awesome! Much better than the Viper IMO.

[Kifflom112]

I liked the Viper a little bit, but it has nothing on this thing.

[Sup3rman]

No way is it better looking than Viper, equal is what i would say. They look very similar but the Viper IMO looks way better with its sleek lines. Corvette is a bit overdone with all those vents and stuff. It looks incredibly cool, no doubt it, but it doesnt really look like a Corvette anymore. But to think about it actually, Corvettes design has changed in the years somewhat and this is actually a worthy design to the new one.

Anyway, I see a lot of chunks of other production cars in there, with a wee dash of the Bertone Mantide (maybe I'm seeing "red").

 

That said, I like it.

Um...? Okay then...

Edit: sorry lol, it's just how we type

Anyways, how much do you figure this will cost.

Okay, that was a bit bullsh*t, sorry about that...im tired as f*ck. But wtf is actually the problem with you with being sarcastic? Everybody fancy to be a smartass here.

 

E: To be on the subject, the new CLA.

 

Looks decent, bodyshape is nice. The front looks a near exact copy of the A class but it suits the car well. From one angle the back looks a bit like it was melted to look like that. But from other angles it still looks good.

[FAH-Q]

Yeah I wouldn't mind cruising around in that with the top down.

 

I also need this car in my life...

Erm, it looks like a less attractive CLS-Klasse.

[Sup3rman]

The new Audi RS7...To me that looks stunning. Especially in white as seen on topgear.com.

E: Also some stats:

0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds via 4.2l V8 that puts out 520 bhp. More on motortrend:

Looks a f*cking beast. I love how that body line sweeps under the headlights.

[Pyrrhic]

What are those square grooves under the headlights used for?

[AZAZEL]

 

What are those square grooves under the headlights used for?

Headlamp cleaners. The single square under the right headlamp, is hiding the tow hook.

[Sup3rman]

 

What are those square grooves under the headlights used for?

I believe those hide the sprinklers that wash the headlights. There are two hatches under the right light, the bottom one should be where the hook goes, or whatever it is called in english.

They're making an RS version of my favorite Audi, huh? Looks promising.

[Pyrrhic]

@Azazel + Sup3rman - Ahh I see. That's actually pretty clever, I have seen cars with actual wipers on the headlights but I've never seen (or probably just haven't noticed) hidden ones.

[Kifflom112]

This new RS7 sounds awesome. 0-62 in 3.5 seconds, top speed of 189mph(if you remove the governor limit), hexagonal stitching in the interior. The only thing I dislike are those chrome rims, they looks fugly. I'd rather Audi's other 5 spoke rims, the ones they use on the TTRS, or the S7's rims.
