EVO Mag - 10 cars we'd like to put 6-ft under
So apparently EVO ran a story about the Top 10 cars they would like to put 6ft under(have you seen this story yet SICK?? Got it from another forum). Anyway, I don't know much about the Euro only cars on this list, but there are obviously a couple cars here I dont agree with. With that said, what would be the top 10 cars you would like to put 6ft under??
Audi Q7
Chrysler Crossfire
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Lexus GS
Lexus SC430
Toyota Corolla T-Sport
Peugeot 206 GTi
Peugeot 307cc
Vauxhall Tigra CTDi
Volkswagen Beetle

Haven't gotten the issue yet. I know they gave the GS and SC 2 stars in thier short term reviews so this is not a shock to me. They always hated the SC and hate the GS as well.
Funny but Top Gear and Car Like the GS a lot more.
I love EVO but their one fault is they cannot understand NOT ALL CARS are meant to drive like 911s (their favorite car). THey don't understand there are different markets for cars.
They even have Gordan Murray doing editorials now.
If it isn't 2000lbs with 500hp, they won't like the car (exaggerating)
Not defending Lexus here. THey know the Euro market is sportier than America and if Lexus insists on not even adding sport packages to their cars (only the IS does) they will continue to get low reviews.
Hey Lexus, u got the damn money, how about ADAPTING to your market a little more QUICKLY

The only reason the SC is on there is because japanese vehicles should not be that gorgeous and sexy. Also the GS offers more std. features and more performance at a lower price than the E class benz so it must go. As for the corolla T-sport if a japanes car offers a supercharger at that low of a price it must also go.

I have firsthand experience living in Mexico with some of those European cars. The Tigra (sold by Chevy down here but not available anymore and those two Peugeots. They are all underpowered cars with unique designs...lousy shifting and need a lot of fixing. They really are the stink of that crop of cars. Seeing the VW Beetles and the Lexus GS listed made me think that somebody had some kind of grudge (maybe they liked the old VW Beetle and the Toyota Supra). Now, the original PT Cruiser was way underpowered and that would make that list in my opinion. The SC430 I don't quite understand that one, though if I hade one I would like to ram up some more power into it.

Hmm... Interesting. The first few cars that popped up in my mind that should go 6-ft under were Jaguar S-Type, Freelander, all the Rovers (yes they are already dead but they should be buried even deeper just in case they don't come back).
But all those are English cars so don't look for Evo to do something like that.

Lexus on that list...
The GS and SC do have cons about them, but I don't think they should be on the list. For EVO, I think they have missed the point on what the GS and SC is, but rather EVO focused on what the GS and SC should be.
The GS will always be compared to the 5-Series. For that, it definately lacks in comparative performance and enthusiastic driving, which EVO is always focused on. I think the GS is in a class of it's own that emphasizes comfort, luxury, and safety, not performance. For performance enthusiasts, the GS should be put out of it's misery. However, for the general public that wants luxury, the GS has it all.
The SC on the other hand is reaching its end. It is overpriced, underpowered, heavy, soft, and cushy. It is not a performance car at all. I see it as a two-door, two-seater convertible version of the LS. The SC is not a roadster or a performance coupe, which EVO thinks it is. The SC is a cruiser, not a rocket (shall we compare it in terms of Harley and Ducati?). The time will come when the SC retires and Lexus will replace it with another "cruiser", such as the IS convertible that everyone is talking about. The "rocket" will be the LF-A. EVO can take that monster and shove it down their throats.
