There is a "left lane Prius" thread in off topic if you ever want to get in on the leftist Prius bashing.

^I am with AMGFan on that!
Let's see when this thread will take a tangent for the slow Subarus with many bumper stickers?!

^^hahaha.

Related to the topic, TT's are subtle supercars that lack only the noise of the other options discussed. I have a V10 Formula 1 soundtrack playing through the speakers when I drive.

Plus all the G37 owners cut in front of you and then slow down. Then the Prius zooms by.

Great thread, I only recently stopped DD'ing my Turbo which was a 200 mile weekly trek. I loved every min of it and frankly have to force myself to leave the Pcar in the garage. It truly is a multipurpose supercar, I've hauled $400 in groceries when my wife was out of town with the SUV. Then the very next day I was beating on it at the track, love this car. I want to keep my .1 Turbo forever and would like to add a NA Pcar into the garage.

Oh, so you didn't want to keep putting miles on it, is that why you stopped DD'ing it?

We could go on and on about this..That poor G37.. It had s to be the most awful sounding engine I have ever heard.. I sounds like a cartoon.

For some reason the owners think by lowering it, adding a coffee can exhaust and tinting the windows that can now do battle with a TT.. I could tell so many stories...

After embarassing one young male driver I told him "You'd better get your Mom's car home. She's probably worried".

As you can imagine that didn't go over too well..

Nothing, however, upsets them more than indifference.

Ps - I find that lowered Golfs, usually driven by someone with a baseball cap are not too different than G37s

Sorry about detracting from the original topic

Got excited about the Turbo S at Tysons Corner for under 120K, but what a strange color combination, blue ext with a two tine brown interior, someone was color blind when ordering…...

Yeah, what amazes me is how some people order these cars without essential options like adaptive sport seats, bluetooth, or park-assist. These are must-haves, in my opinion. Park assist has literally saved my butt from stupid accidents a couple of times. The standard seats are so narrow and unsupportive, they shouldn't even be offered. And bluetooth -- it's the only way to talk on the phone while driving these days.

I know what you're saying about the people that drive them but I have to say the design is very nice.
