oh shit, the "regal" badge on the side confused me. Regals are the most popular Buick models out here.
Don't care much for mopar vehicles outside of a few models. I would take a 1970 Buick GSX over any Dart, except maybe the '72 Dart.

Ok so after doing some research and going through several car sales sites and bluebook, there is no way you're getting a 2012 Sonata or Optima for 9000 with only 45000 miles on it. With 65000 miles they're going for close to 11, and at 90000 they go for 8-9000 same as the Honda

Can anyone pinpoint a stock newer model car(2014+), any body, with a more angular and boxy look like the beasts of old? I was just contemplating and the closest I can think of are the dodge chargers. Everything else looks more futuristic nowadays, with softer edges. Some of the jeeps I guess.

Hm I see. Those are exceptions, it's rare to see them for that price with those miles, I wonder if they have problems
Edit: eh ok I see what you're saying, it's a 4 cyl and the lowest priced sedan so it makes sense
I still prefer the Honda Accord V6 with 90k to be honest

are they all V4's?
Not so sure about the prices(i really dont know much about used japanese/korean cars as far as $ goes), but yeah they're definitely better cars than kias and hyundais.

That's pretty baaaaaad man. I hope some rich fucks buy all their stock so they'll expand their lineup. Definitely an underdog company I wouldn't mind seeing flourish, preferably by the time my honda is paid off, and preferably to such a level I can afford one.

Like don't get me wrong, I know this shit is out there and I know there's always mods, but I'm more curious about big name brand companies releasing ready to drive modern cars with a classic look. Straight up I don't think it happens, and idk if it's purely the new aesthetic or an aerodynamics thing or even a crash hazard over the more angular edges. But it's sad and lame.

as far as performance(stock) goes those big couches on wheels cant really compete with the muscle cars of today. Its the same reason why a stock Challenger cant beat a stock Camaro or a Mustang, too big and heavy with shitty handling. But yeah some people buy those cars for looks, which is why there are shitty V6 Challengers littered all over the place.
Dodge is also trying to bring back the Barracuda. I saw a few concept pics last year, and it looked pretty bad ass.
edit: Oh and on a side not, i annihilated a BMW M6 today. I think it was a 2009-10 model. I smile everytime a bmw pulls up next to me.

I'm on a van kick. I think not reproducing will make this financially feasible in 5-10 years.

Saw a pretty cool van today actually:
2 cylinders of might and power to push you along the dream path to freedom, custom rear lights and tricolour blue stripes for at least an extra 3 horsepower. Jacked up at the rear for some reason, probably extra coolness.

Did someone say... stripes and wide eyed peepers?
Wish my grandpa would give his a sweet paint job, it's just army green.

Hello there
My car died for a few days so I had to rent one. Ended up with a Nissan Versa Note. Not a bad commuter car. Deceivingly large on the inside.

... this track was at one time dominated by $200-300k+ "super cars" until Chevy(the Corvette Z06) and Dodge(Viper ACR) started showing up. Now you have a fucking Camaro that has cracked the top 15 lap times set at that track. I love it.
