What fun would it be to date a supermodel that is only able to read? I'm sure you'd be way happier if you were dating someone that was cute/pretty as well as intelligent enough to hold a conversation with something more complicated than a soap dish.

If you just wanted to get her in bed, however, intelligence will just get in the way of your plans.

Somehow, I don't think I'd be proud to say I got an extremely hot but extremely dumb person to sleep with me.

How many minutes a week do you spend with your car at full acceleration? Even a street racing fool would only spend a few scant minutes at most. But your car would be but ugly 10,080 minutes a week.

It's not about fast or ugly, It's the whole package. It's actually my commuter car that just happens to look fantastic and enough power to get me in trouble if I push it, not to mention Honda relialiblty.

I kinda like the idea of the EVO and STI ! However something I do not get with this new breed of performance cars is whats up with the four doors??? The hot cars of the fifties and sixties were all 2 doors while their 4 door counterparts are virtually worthless!

I think he meant driving an AMC Pacer with a 427 vs a 427 SC Cobra with a Fiesta engine in it.

You gotta have both, performance and good looks! Buying a car that is fast but looks ugly is like marrying a woman only because she's a good cook.

Both, in my opinion, need to perform and be good to your eyes!

I am partial to Rally racing and find the STI and EVO very attractive (except for the large mistsu emblem in the front). I think one finds the styling on these cars easier to appreciate when you have a Rally interest in the first place. Then the you can see the benefits of the design.

I'd be proud if my own daughter thought like minako.... (and I am very, very proud of my own 26 year old daughter...)
Barry, I just turned 26 last Thursday! *waves little flags* If she thinks like me, then I have great respect for her! Too many girls my age who think "Oh no! I'm getting old! Time to go party and get as many guys as I can before all my looks wither away!"

I gotta agree with geezer: It's all about the package! Good looks, reliability and a strong motor all in one car! Who could ask for more? Without substance to back up those sleek lines, the car would be... a "poser", I think it's called.
