I think it'd be really cool to post some cars your getting hyped about coming out or simply just really like..

Ill start with the Focus RS

I mean this car is just sexy, and the drift mode is going to make it insane when you want to have some fun.

Also the rumor mill is flowing about the comeback of the wrx hatch which, Im sure will be even better than the 2014
 
not including the mazdaspeed3 in the hot hatch comparison is downright asinine. last release, it was critically acclaimed to have the most insane power delivery of any of the hot hatches. 2016 release known as the "STI killer".

I've always loved them because of my interest in rally. Not for everyone but I love seeing a hatchback blowing by a merc/porsche/beemer etc any day of the week. They have character. That and I have a soft spot for the turbo brick volvo wagons. You want to see the coolest wagon? Look no further.

practicality, blast to drive, easy to mod... not entirely about looks. hot hatches are so much fucking fun

I'm all with the hatchbacks. And turbos. Except for turbos are finicky as hell or at least have been for me. But I've done a ton of modding on it for relatively cheap. Fun to drive epically in a foot or two of powder. 2004 forester with turbo is a good car for a fun time, but is a money pit for me.

Looked cool, but upon more research they put fucking LEDs on the body to make it look like there were constellations on it? Thats probably the fruitiest thing I've ever seen on a car. Made me sad/lowered the stoke level significantly.

I'm actually really excited to read about the new RS. I have a soft spot for hatchbacks and this one looks badass. I'm a sleeper fan, though, so I'd at least want to switch out the RS spoiler for a more modest one. Unfortunately, I'm getting a bit old and respectable for the boy racer look.

Oh I want the fun. I just want it to be stealth fun. Pull up next to something flashy looking like I'm driving a grocery getter, but knowing that if I wanted to I could leave him far behind should I so desire.

I love my Gen1 mazdaspeed3. Relatively inconspicuous to the untrained eye. but, with some bolt ons and a decent tune, it can take most of what you'll see everyday on the road. Also, I've very interested in driving both the Focus RS & Golf R.

Yay another bike for chodes in cargo shorts, backwards hat and mad fast shades to ride around on, never getting past 1% of the bikes potential. But at least they'll look cool flooring it for a sec through an intersection.

Ahhh... good ol' biker profiling. You couldn't be more correct. Matter of fact these are limited production. Not sure if they are even street legal? I'm more envisioning this on a track but hell yeah I'd ride one around town if given the chance, chode and all!

I know you say cars, but can I throw in a bike? 300HP of awesomeness

Otherwise the RS3 coming to the US would be pretty neat.

Way more excited about the sedan than the wagon. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about wagons, but I love a good sedan. Also, the fact that the new RS3 is closer in size to the old b5, b6 A4/S4's is awesome.

The A3 Clubsport concept though....

Mirrors, blinkers, and a plate and you're solid. Unless theres no VIN which I saw some rumor about. I honestly can't imagine having 300 horse in a bike though haha.

Absolute insanity. thats 180HP more than todays R6/CBR/636 or any 600 class race bike. The only thing crazier is guy martins turbocharged gsxr he ran at pikes peak... holy mother of god that thing is insane.

I love good, classic, american cars. The emergence of the Corvette as a legitimate "super-car", the Ford GT, the beefing up of the Mustang and all of its post-production models, the HellCat... I have been a pretty happy camper lately. But god damnit do I love Porsche.
