ITT: things that manufacturers do that annoy the piss out of enthusiasts

The idea for this came from a recent conversation on facebook, relating to Renault's new Alpine A110 only being offered in autotragic.
I'll start:
>AMG
>AWD
mfw

>4
>door
>coupe

>Spend years hyping the world up for a "fun" RWD car
>Make the FR-S/BR-Z instead

Fucking Toyota

Christ on a bike that's quality marketing

>I need 300hp to have fun!!!

>rivet scratches intensify

>turbo 4

Wait did they ever create some hype? I remember it just appearing with the specs out of nowhere

>"hey car manufacturers please make us a rwd + manual coupe with an lsd that affordable"
>"power doesn't matter we want fun!!!!!1!1!!!!"

1 month after release

>"lol remember what we said about fun, no one gives a shit about fun"
>"i want a nurburgerking time under 6 minutes & over 550 whp""
>"even though the car you made is great i have autism so i can't appreciate it or even remember what i wanted in the first place xd"

What if I told you not everyone likes widebody kits?

The problem with the FR-S is that it splits the difference between the Miata and the V6 Mustang, resulting in a car that has all the drawbacks of both with none of the benefits.

"sport mode"

This.
Fuccking idiots.

>>AWD
The only correct choice.

>>>>>>>>>>"AN SUV WITH THE HEART AND SOUL OF A SPORTS CAR"

nothing
NOTHING
can compete with honda
>hey here are some cars nsx and s2k
>fucking great cars
rest of lineup is
>prelude looks like RWD, fucking ff
>legend, looks like luxury rwd prelude, fucking ff
>del sol
>looks like a fucking MR, came out in right time to compete with fucking mr2 and miata but is FF
Fuck honda

>4
>door
>shooting brake
Fucking Mercedes Marketers

>Car looks RWD
>Is FWD
This infuriates me not because of FWD itself, but rather the lack of RWD.
I am fine with FWD but the Industries blue balling of lower end RWDs is aggravating, especially when it comes to 4 door sedans.
>Galant
>159
>Leon Mk1
And don't get me started on 90's """""""""""""sports""""""""""""""" coupes

>ywn live in a world where Mazda made the MX-3 essentially a Miata coupe with the world's cutest V6
J U S T

>ywn be part of a world where Calibra became Europes S13
The few AWD are not an excuse

Didn't the AWD ones like to blow trannies as well?

A-at least there's still the Manta...

>porsche
>rear wiper is optional

>ywn live in a world where Peugeot made their gorgeous Ferrari-reject grand tourer RWD

I keep eyeing it looking at it be cute FD
I love it
I wanted it for a track beater.
Then I started reading up on it
>FFuuuuuuuck
toyota is usually cool but fucking no GT4 version of last celica. But it has a fake hood scoop

That thing isn't as bad as it is ugly

>driving in my type r
>some wanker in brand new mercedes uGLE on stoplights, fuck it's ugly
>we are both leaving town
>turn on the cd player
>turbofolk kicks in
>downshift and fly past him on first stretch
>pedal to the metal, I'm leaving this sicker in my dust as we come to twisty road
>9k rpm, engine wants to jump out
>nope.bmp
>not only is he keeping up but trying to pass me as well
>i could almost feel his bonnet on my nec
>ff 3 minutes
>as we exit the corner the road widens and he passes by

I saw that guy day later, he recognized me and started laughing. I'm seriously considering suicide.

He meant the rivets on this woman's shorts
You dipshit

>turbofolk

yeah,you really should kill yourself

>lets make our own retarded head unit

Don't make me copy-paste 5 goddamn paragraphs about the power-to-weight ratios of those three cars.

...

>2012+5
>bashing on people for listening to turbofolk while you secretly listen to it to
