Add me to the list of blue fans, especially when there is a three pointed star on the front. Beautiful car. So much nicer than black, gray, silver, white, or any of the other non-color colors most cars seem to come in these days.
And yea, that interior is special. Happy motoring!

I know next to nothing about cars, but that looks like a nice one.

We have a Toyota Camry Hybrid in a similar color. I got to pick out the color. I'm sure that your new car is nothing like the Toyota Camry Hybrid, except for the color.

I hope that you are not leaving the Vintage forum as I enjoy your expertise in lots of different topics, and your humor, too.

I'm glad that your SWMBO approves! I have never met her, but I have a feeling that she is a very patient person.

Enjoy your new car!

She might get sainthood for this one.I'm sure I drive her nuts.
But I love her dearly. At the end of the day she is all that matters to me.


Jim there is one in houston greenway waiting for a drive. It's a torque monster. although that one is a GT-R yow-zah. hmm houston north has a GTR too. WTH?

disable the nannys at your own peril.
it's a 4.0 litre v-8 but with twin turbo's so 2X the engine with boost.
It only revs to 7200 RPM though so not the howling 9K of the S2000.
but it has 300 ft-lbs of torque at 1500 revs and 450 at 2k RPM.
This is the first car I have driven that will break the rears free easily. almost at will.
Important to remember exiting corners.

Right? Honda is guilty of this and always has been, at least on the cars I want. It took me three S2000s to finally get a good blue.
