I was actually interested in the Toyota Paseo just for the hell of it. Then of course I was looking up exactly what "Supra" meant, and decided to look up "Paseo." Now that I know what it means, I don't think I'm even going to consider, considering it.
pa·se·o (pä-s)
1. A slow, easy stroll or walk outdoors.

I am however, now considering Celica's again. Probably something between 1994-1998. As much as I love the new body style, there's no way I can afford one.

Paseo hahaha. Wasn't that a glorified tercel? Don't be afraid to buy a car because it is common. There is a reason for that. They're good !

Ok...time to revive this thread again! This thread seems to get a lot of good conversation going, and being that my mind changes all the time, it's a good thread to bring back.
Focus....SVT Focus
Any opinions?
It's a 175hp Front wheel drive FORD. It's only gonna be about $18k and I really like what I've seen it do in the World Rally Cross (ok, so those are like million dollar cars, but whatever). Seems like a great entry level car, especially for entry level moders. FordRacing is bring a huge number of after market parts to the scene and they're backing everything. There are already superchargers for them, and lots of other tasty Horse 'n' Torque uppers for it. So what do you guys think?

A Fucass is still a Fucass. I hate the way it looks, and it's not an incredibly fast car. Wait for the new Lancers to come next year, or check out RSXs, WRXs, those high-end Neons, or even that Civic SI. A Civic is better than a Focus.

I'm much rather have a Focus than a Civic....EVERYONE has a civic. At least Focuses are kinda new still. I personally don't see that many driving around and I have to say...the Focus' styling is really growing on me.
Plus I'd rather have an American Car...and you can make Focuses REALLY fast Jackal. The fastest Focus runs a 7.43 (or so) 1/4 mile...so back off it's peak potential.
(edit: spelled "peak" wrong)

If you want a compact car there are tons of any of them on the streets. Civics are better quality and if you are thinking you could ever get into the 7s with one without sponsership and a race team you're dreaming. Newer name doesn't mean better design.

#1: Who the fuck cares if there's a few wicked fast Focuses? I guarantee you that there's a modded incredibly fast version of every model car. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's strapped a rocket to their Model T Ford, and I bet there's a supercharged Pinto as well. Any enthusiast with enough time and money can turn any car into (almost) whatever they want it to be. Let me ask again - WHO THE FUCK CARES IF THERE'S A FEW WICKED FAST FOCUSES? For the money and time put into it I'm sure you could buy and turbocharge a Dodge Viper. With all the mods done to your 7 second 1/4 mile Focus, it probably won't last more than a few years and wouldn't be usable as a daily driver.
#2: Ford Focuses are numerous too. I just did a web search and found United States sales in 2001. 323,074 Honda Civics were sold. Yes, that is a hell of a lot. However, 261,542 Ford Focuses were sold. The Civic has been around for like 15 years, building up a lot of recognition so I'll bet a large portion of the sales were from repeat buyers. The Focus has only been around for 3 or 4 years, and look how many it sold! 10 years from now you'll see more Focuses on the road than Civics as Ford builds up the brand. If you're looking for a car that's different, go buy something you don't see every day.
#3: You're retarded, and you like men.

Jesus...no need to get all pissy about it. I like focuses you like miata's. And I wasn't trying to sound like i could make a 7 second Focus, I was just pointing out.
I have ZERO clue as to why you're so angry...

there's at least one <10 second Pinto out there, it's got a turbo 2.3 engine.
