Probably cross the New 325. STi probably. You don't like the EVO? Enzo Ferrari " You may be a Ferrari owner; but, you may not necessarly be a Ferrari Driver."

The Z is ok, again the styling is a little weak. The interior looks Used Porsche is a bad idea, the old Boxster has a ostrage asshole center exhaust. Beemers = My suggestion, out of that list would be the STi/Z, whichever you prefer. If I had that kinda cash, I'd wait a lil longer and pick up the new 2005 Elise.

They are supposed to be the new skyline in Japan. The 2005 has AWD in the sedan. They are also coming out with a new Evo taht is supposed to be beefed up past the STI. But could all be hear say. To deny the simple pleasures in life is to desire death in the most horrifing way.
