Either that or I'm not that bothered about identifying between two very similar and very dull looking cars. Yes, I think that's it.
 
The funny thing is, my brother ran one of those things for a few years. I saw it every day and drove it a number of times. It was blue, too.

Everyone... and I mean everyone mistook it for a Trueno. When I saw those pictures on the previous page, I thought it was a Trueno... didn't really care to take a closer look. When I took that look, I noticed right away the familiar roofline (sleeker than the Trueno's) and the longer front end... but really... it's just not that unique a shape.

Cool car... but appearance-wise, not really terribly different from a Trueno, a Piazza or a Nissan Sunny. Oh... it's sexier than all of the others (and the narrow and slightly dumpy Trueno), but it's a matter of degrees rather than an outright difference.

That thing isn't very low in the scheme of things these days. It actually looks spectacular. It could be a bit more track oriented but then again anything with Star Specs is going to stick is pretty well. Unless you're trying to make a seriously serious machine you might as well keep your nice car looking nice.

I don't think any of you understand how hard I would rock this on the daily:

That's my idea of a family sedan.

That NSX is really quite stunning.

And I agree on the Impreza. I really do think they look better without the wing on the back unless you're talking about the actual rally car, in which case a big wing is the way to go.
 
gaah, just until now that I really REALLY paid attention to it did I see the only difference I can find in such dim light conditions: the tailights, haha

And that Blue NSX is the coolest one I've seen in a freaking while. Amazing car.
 
Neat track toy from the UK...

Not a VR6, or a 1.8t, a G60 a 2.0FSI, not even a 1.9TDi...

Absolute genius. Spoon muffler on a VW!

First reliable VW?
First VW with high offset wheels? If he could afford a K swap at least he could have put some decent rims on it lol.

Also, what car was the first Sharpie art car, and why has every car to copy it also been praised as cool? I think it was that one Lexus IS, but I can't remember.
 
His GF spent over 150hrs drawing that with marker.
After hearing that, I had to go check out the thread. Just amazing. It's like irezumi for car!

I love how they integrated "Skyline"(in katakana) in the design here:

On an off note, I've lately been using sharpies...really small ones...to color my Hot Wheels cars' intakes...

But it really is neat to see an entire car done up like that. Really takes some time, that.
