Now that this is dying

Kinja'd!!!

What will now become the new ‘bro my car looks cool and fast but actually isn’t’ car?

P.S. The Civic Si is irreverent in this conversation

the 2016 4 cylinder Camaro. still not happy the 4 cylinder is back in a Camaro, I still have nightmares of 82 Ironduke Camaros.

“The tC sports coupe will have a final release series edition and end production in August 2016.”

surprisingly (thankfully?) no

The official announcement now on the FP stated the tC is being discontinued after 2016.

Considering the G35's reputation, I expect all of these to have blacked out taillights and monster stickers in about 5 years.

It really doesn’t matter. it’s the exact same car. I personally would expect the BRZ more due to “ITS A SUBIE BRO, JUST LIKE THE WRX”

I worked for Lexus for many years....... much BROness was witnessed. Honestly, no brand is immune to BROness, but with the introduction of sub $35K cars from high end brands, there will be a shift, especially CPO. As the image obsession plague (IOP) continues to explode at massive rates, a fancy badge on a car is vital for “My new whip” selfies on FaceHash Tag Book. Damn kids

I’ve actually seen a pretty even split between the FR-S/BRZ.

In fact, there are probably more FR-Ss in CS than BRZs now, because of the TRD springs/sways port option “cheat.”

Mostly they seem to flock toward Audi and Lexus. I’ve seen more and more BMW drivers obeying traffic laws AND using their turn signals so I have to assume they aren’t bros.

I’m seeing it here at work with these CLA and girl version of BROs in GLAs. Returning back after a couple months covered in wheel curb scratches,completely filthy interiors, and extra LED lighting accents. Especially around their speakers/subs in the trunk. But hey, CPO for $20K?

What a strange and awkwardly proportioned looking car, especially the top of the door frame being very flat and the weirdly overdone BMW aping kick in the rear side window. Glad we never had these over here, is bad enough that we got the Toyota Urban Cruiser (a rebadged Scion) not that anyone ever bought them!

Probably but still a 4 cylinder Camaro is just wrong, it’s not a tuner car like a Honda. Plus I don’t want to see Camaros “riced”. Down the street of my work is a fart canned ecoboost mustang. I dont want to see that on a Camaro.

No matter what engine a car has people are still gonna fuck it up somehow. People donk and rice V6 and V8 Camaros all the time, it just happens. I for one welcome the snail’d 4 with tuning ability. Especially in the Camaro which is more a sports car than anything else at this point.

I agree that people will do stupid things to the V6 and 8 cars. Though i think for the 4 cylinder to actually sell well they need to price or cheap enough for the young people that were not around the first time there was a 4 cylinder Camaro because that car created a big stigmatism that would make the car harder to sell over the V6 model. But I have a feeling the price will still be to high due to seeing a msrp jump of around $5-6k over the the fifth gem SS to the sixth gen SS.

Really wish this was engineered to be RWD (with more capable engine...) from the start. Would’ve matched the looks, and likely sold more.
