Finally Lexus is using their V-12 motor they've had in Japan for years. This car looks so sweet! If it ever makes it to production it must be mine!

Nice, finally something good from Lexus besides the SC430.

The new 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse looks nice too.

The new Eclipse certainly looks a lot better than the current one... But it looks very much like a pontiac sunfire in contour. I still haven't got over the fact that Mitsubishi got sued by the Japanese government for throwing out complaint forms back in the nineties. I've seen people have problems with their mitsubishis as personal testimony goes.

Im kinda glad to be a Toyota/Lexus kinda guy. Oh, the new Chevy ZO-6 looks really sweet. It can go up to 190mph now too. OUCH!

that exhaust looks expensive to replace when it rusts out in 3 years. Or is the kind of car that jackasses solder a kazoo onto the back anyway?

Yeah, the V-12 is kind of a useless thing to have. But wouldn't it feel good to say "This is my new Lexus... WITH THE SWEETASS V-12!!! No, you can't touch it."

But I don't think the Eclipse looks like a Sunfire. I think it looks uncanningly similar to the SC430...

Lexus SC430

Mitsubishi Eclipse

Maybe it's just me, but I think they look kind of alike...

If you want to go 180 MPH (in a 55mph zone) and get 10 MPG (while gas is over $2/gal) then go ahead, be my guest.

Sure, I'm a jaded ex-gearhead. I've been driving Saturns for the past 6 years Smiley: bah

Rest assured, the exhaust system on an ES330 will last longer than three years.

Think about it though, it's an exotic car being built by a company renowned for it's reliability. The thing is a masterpiece. It'll probably stay on the road for ten years even if you drive it 180MPH every day!

Yes, but, who the bloody hell really needs a V-12?

My 4 cylinder serves me quite nicely, and gets very nice gas milage.

Or is this one of those things like watching sports on TV I can't seem to understand?


Let me explain to you why we [see: Men] watch sports on TV and drive big, powerful cars with rocket-engines.

The only time you can ignore the woman and not get ***** slapped is when there's a game on. During said game you can eat food without concern for the upholstery, curse at the TV, and be an obnoxious *** with your friends. You can order your woman t the fridge for more beer and cheetos. The power of the clicker is truly yours.

We drive big gas-guzzling cars because we have distorted egos from being rejected by women almost all the time. So when we can't get sex or sports we enjoy hurtling down a paved speedway with nothing between us and oblivion but a crappy, computer controlled balloon filled with powder. This makes hair grow on our chests, our penises lengthen and gives us control of our lives back.

To simplify, we do these things because women drive us to. Its basic male human nature.

Once again I come up abbynormal. I rarely watch sports on TV (3-5x/year, maybe) and have no desire to drive a vehicle that can wrap itself around a utility pole at the speed of stupidity.
