Couple of potato pics of Roger's Jag.
550 hp of raw RWD power, and one of the sexiest automotive designs available today. Certainly the best sounding engine & exhaust note ever.
My god.

What do you guys think about the new Si? I know people didn't like the crazy busy previous gen of the Si and Type R, but this one seems much cleaner. I really like it.

Speaking of upscale, the new Integra will be revealed this week. Makes me wonder how much different it will be from the Type-R offering.

I agree, the Civic fits the bill nicely for a young adult. I had one in my 20's, and so did my wife long ago.
The Accord is a very attractive sedan. But there's no Accord with a 6MT.
All the 2.0T models come with a 10AT.
And yes, intrigued by the Integra. Imagine a new Teg with AWD, 6MT and a stout little 2.0T powertrain... like an upscale alternative to the WRX.

I would never consider this brand in the past, but here's a car that has my attention for possibly replacing my G37xS sedan:
Hyundai Sonata N Line
2.5T
290 hp
311 tq
DCT 8 speed
All the latest tech
10year waranty
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...-n-line-drive/
It's a mid to high 13 second car stock, but with a JB4 it "should" be a high to mid 12 second car.

The Sonata N Line is definitely a lot of car for the money, but do you really want a FWD performance sedan? My Sister just bought one recently and it's pretty quick, the transmission shifts great, but there's torque steer aplenty that I just couldn't live with myself. If I was in the market for a performance sedan and was looking at Hyundai/Kia I would look at the Stinger instead.

I completely forgot about the 2.5T Stinger. Okay....back to the drawing board.

I was originally after the k5 gt w/gt1 package but dealers were nuts about pricing and the gt1 package was a rare find. The more I read about it, more stinger became the better suited replacement.
Test drive one. It's not like they're selling like hot cakes. I preferred the traditional shifter and analog gauges over the push button and digital dash. Mine just turned 3 months old and ~2300 miles.

If you want to turn off TC and power out of a turn, maybe not. But if you just want to be aggressive on the ramps and off the line, FWD is fine. There are so many components to what makes a good driving experience, not the least of which is the driver. (And good summer tires, LOL)
That said, the Stinger is RWD.

FWD doesn't have to be a hard stop. Depends how you use it and what you expect out of the car.

Although - I have a client that just bought a 2018 Panamera with DCT for about $40k...

That Integra reveal was very underwhelming. Granted, it was a prototype so details are thin, but a generic looking sedan with a 1.5T isn't worth getting excited about, even if it does have Honda's 6MT. Whatever the old Teg had that inspired people, the new Teg doesn't have it.
Between this and the Sonata N-Line... that seems an easy choice.
