mid-engine RWD at that.
I would be overjoyed if they remade it. and I had a vision of a turbo four like $ub mentioned.

I really do like the Colorado. I think the 4 door is a sharp looking truck.
I am really glad they are bringing a small truck back. To bad the diesel base is 40k..... But it's basically a mini half ton with good mpg.
I like the 98+ rangers a lot ( obviously ) and the 88 bronco2 I had was a fun machine.
I was upset when ford did nothing special for the last year of the ranger. Only a handful of 2012's where made and all went out to be service vehicles.
I always wanted a diesel ranger. So... Ended up having to build one.

I'll probably end up with a Civic Si or Accord Sport.
Owned a couple Honda's in the past and they are what they claim to be - bulletproof reliability. 'Really went out of my comfort zone with the Sonic. But, I saw it.. love at first sight really... and took a chance. I think Chevy did an excellent job with the styling and so far the car has been a peach. 'Find myself still missing Honda though from time to time.

I can't even figure out if this is a typo.
If you drive it, you will have drove it so now I'm confused and giving my self a headache.
If they are still using the J series V6 (3.2L, 3.5L etc) it's a beautiful engine especially for NA.

I'll have my eye on the next-gen MazdaSpeed3
Still not a peep from Mazda. I wouldn't hold your breath
Next car for me depends on when I get rid of the Sonic. If I get rid of it after the warranty or when it's paid off, I'd go used. If I keep it for +100k miles and get rid of it once it's done being useful, I'll buy new.
Used:
'05-'06 MCS
'11+ MCS or MCS Clubman
Mk. 6 GTI
Mk. 6 Golf R
A3 2.0T
New:
Mk. 7 Golf 1.8T
Jeep Renegade
Civic Si
Combination of a $10k econobox and a $10k roadster.
Who knows what will be out when I'm ready for a new new car.

My girlfriend's younger sister has a 2001 Accord which has the 3.0 V6. Very quick.

This begs the question: how many transmissions did that car go through?
Honda V6's transmissions of that era had a very atypical record of being unreliable. Those that came with 4 cyl models were great.

From what I remember the car has had not one problem. My girlfriends father paid $5000 for it a few years ago. A elderly woman sold it to him. It was her husbands that recently deceased. He didn't drive it much as the odometer only has 90k on it. That sort of mileage is nothing on a Honda motor, lol. So time will tell I guess.

I might replace my Z with a caddy ATS with the 2.0T engine, have to convince myself to sell the Z though. I do love that car but I drive it so rarely and I would be better off with a more practical car that would be just as fast and fun.
