You're kidding right?

nah, great car!!! Plus, you'll see when you american people will have stolen and burnt all the petrol on earth, the russians thought about the problem a long time ago Sure it's 0-96mph in 2 minutes, but GPL is great, and it's the BEST 4x4 (better than Land Rover Defender). Course, it's not as comfortable than a Porsche Cayenne or Lincoln Aviator, but it has its own face, untouched for more than 20 years and still up to date. Go see a Cayenne in 20 years

OK, finally got a decent pic of my car.

Problem is I may have to sell it in the coming weeks.

That is one beautiful car!
What is it?

And if i had a say in it: don't sell it.
If you do have to; you have my condolences.

It's a Karmann Ghia (made by Karmann for VW).

I followed a custom black one on my bike in London yesterday - hadn't seen one in years and it looked great.

Nahh, land rovers are the best 4x4xfar

Ohhh BURNNN.

(sorry, land rover joke)

I love the defenders and I wish they would bring them back to America. I think they stopped coming over because they don't meet safety requirements (airbags) in the US. I think they are so neat looking, and they are almost the same as land rovers built over 40 years ago.

 

[blitzkrieg79]

Also due to the sale of the stock GM had in Subaru. But, don't be surprised to see the 9-2 nameplate brought back that is 100% Saab. As for the Corvette Sting Ray( or SS, but I prefer Sting Ray), they already confirmed 600+ HP. They just need a way to get it to the ground. Rumors are a Supercharged LS7 or an all new LS9 powerplant. Let me say this. With a rumored price of $100K and with 600+ ponies, I don't know why when someone is looking at a car in the $100K + price range for pure performance, they would not choose the Vette Sting Ray.

One word to all of the Corvette fans out there, EVO. Yup, price-performance wise nothing beats it. Oh yeah and there is this http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/lancer_fq400.asp that does 0-60 in 3.5 sec. for a whole lot less than the rumored Sting Ray. And I even ain't gonna go into details about Evo's handling where it pretty much beats up any American muscle car.

And oh yeah, next year there is something even better coming up: EVO X (http://www.lancerregister.com/art_conceptx.php)

They won't bring Defender back to US because Americans (or at least the top level executives who make all the crappy decision) like to buy heavy, bloated, "safe" cars. Anyway, Defender, Land Cruiser, and Pajero (Montero) are true off-road legends. Too bad that most of todays SUVs only look like all-terrain vehicles (and no, HP is not everything)

That just makes absolutely no sense to me. A Corvette and an Evo are two completely different beasts with really different looks and feels to them. I'd understand your recommendation of an Evo to someone who was say, thinking about getting a WRX, but... a Corvette and an Evo?!

Ehhhhhh, you really don't understand, do you? EVO and Corvette both are, first and foremost, PERFORMANCE (racing) cars (the only difference is that one sits two people and the other can sit five people plus some decent trunk space; two seats don't define a sports car, PERFORMANCE defines it). Evo can beat a Corvette in a drag race, on gravel, and in a street race, and and and on snow/ice while costing a whole lot less.

Yawwnnnn.

Just another ricer pretending to be a sports car.

Tell ya what. You hop in that thing, I'll hop in a C6 Z06 and we'll head up to the mountains to see which one is better. Or, for that matter, any other road course that you can find.

You'll lose.

I guarantee ANY Corvette wouldn't stand a chance against an Evo IX. Definitely not the high power FQ400. Top Gear raced one against a lamborghini Murcielago a while ago and the Murcielago couldn't pass it.

I have to agree that you can't compare an Evo to a Corvette. A Corvette will always be sort a "wanna be" sports car. Sure the latest one has finally got handeling down. Value for money is good, but its still a Corvette! Come on guys! Its about as unoriginal as a Porsche 911.

Edit: One final thought. The Corvette is a way better-looking car than the Evo.

Here are my thoughts (from an American standpoint of course).

The Corvette has a V8 and the EVO doesn't. Corvette wins hands down. Go ahead and drive your evo, but I'll stick to American muscle.

I agree, also, the evo is probably much smaller than a corvette, and much lighter. Thus the "better" handling.

I would much rather have a corvette than an evo. A corvette is recognized among all as a sports car. An evo is more like a car that people would say "oh look, he's trying to look cool in mitsubishi". A corvette is a classic and always will be.

How did this thread turn into an EVO vs Corvette debate? Perhaps they both have their place on the performance car spectrum.

Anyone who disregards a competent car because of its brand name has insecurity issues.



To be honest, I'm just glad I live in Australia where both are trumped by our own metal.

 

[fanbrain]

The issue is not of brand, but of category. The Evo is a 4 cyl turbo AWD. The Corvette is V8 RWD naturally aspirated. They are not in the same class and shouldn't be compared that way. Different design, different characteristics, different cars. Compare the Evo with something in it's class.

As the person above me said. Really they are not even in the same class, a corvette is a 2 door roadster, the evo is a 4 door sedan. Enough said. Its like saying, my chevy Pickup has better acceleration than your ford escort.

 

[mad jew]

I'm agreeing.

FWIW, I wasn't aiming my comments at anyone in particular.

The defender has got airbags
