    In reply to ABT Golf VI GTD: Lord Vader, Your Euro-Trash Hipster Son's Car Has Arrived

    Why does every car these days have to shout "look at me?" I do miss discreet performance. Maybe I am getting old.

    Some simple style to balance out the ABT Golf.

    This car definitely has a good chance of inhabiting my garage. I have a couple boys that think it's teh sex.

    Nah, Ben's kidding. Hipsters don't know anything about cars. That's why they plaster their grandma's '92 Camry with Conor Oberst stickers.

    @bzr: Don't forget the bike rack, loaded down with fixies, all of which have "One Less Car" stickers on them.

    Well I suppose this could be considered an improvement over the Ford Tempo Diesel's 52HP.

    @brandegee: Without the slightest doubt in my mind, the Tempo. Actually, I wouldn't be too surprised if the only vehicle to survive the apocolypse is in fact, the diesel-powered Tempo.

    I almost love it, but VW did most of the work. That's both good and bad.

    I know it's sacrilege, but I really like the looks of the 4-door Golfs more than the 2-door (in the MkV and MkVI versions). Makes the car more competitive with the MS3, as well.

    Ok... Give me the front clip from the Pheonix T/A and the rear clip from this one, and you've got a pretty decent screamin' chicken. #pontiactransam

    Kevin Morgans Phoenix TA looks a lot better in my opinion. The front of his is based off of the 77/78 #pontiactransam

    It looks like it gained a few pounds since highschool but is still convinced it looks good in it's acid wash jean jacket with the ACDC patches. #pontiactransam

    It looks like a TransAm. That's more than one can say for the GTO, which was a Generic Appliancemobile along with all those goofy-named G-series cars that took a program to sort out the players. You drive this car and no one has to guess what the heck it is!

    I say fire up the production lines. #pontiactransam

    OK, I dont' get it. That's two Firebird facelifts that put a '70 nose (2nd Gen) on a car modeled after a '69 (1st Gen) Camaro. Now, the '69 'bird was heinous, but a '67-68 style nose on that car would be fabulous. #pontiactransam

    While I generally like today's retro-look muscle cars, that one fails big. I actually liked the last generation of Trans Am better. #pontiactransam

    The back end is easy to get right. All it takes is diet and exercise. The front, well, that's all genetics. #pontiactransam
