I agree with trevorusn. I'm keeping my Koup for a long, long, long, long time. I'm not planning on hi-jacking this thread, but honestly we have the best looking cars.

The competition doesn't matter. I'm completely satisfied with my Forte Koup. We don't necessarily make them look bad, but they make us look better.

My next car is gonna look very close to my Sedan now except.

has:

AWD
More HP
Handle better.

If Buick puts the regal GS on a diet and puts back in the AWD that's it.

or

Audi S4.

Gotcha... Yes you are very right, the econoboxes are becoming econoboxes all over again. It is probably because there are more and more higher power cars for less that get good fuel economy, I.E. mustang, camaro, genesis

What about a Mitsubishi Evolution X or Ralliart? They fit all 3 and are cheaper new.

I enjoy my Mustang a hell of a lot more, and it's not that much more expensive to drive (insurance is actually cheaper on it somehow).
You can sell your lease now! Just get your lease pay off and sell it for more than that. I lease a MINI cooper in september of 2011, and it for three months and sold it for the down payment on my hatch.

VW killed the Jettas as well, I like the previous generation Jetta but this current one just looks cheap and boring.

Who knows..maybe I'll buy one of the used Koups from you guys when I'm back in the game. Always a possibility.

I hate where car designing is going, these two cars made me face palm through the back off my skull
Subaru BRZ

Toyota FT-86

I hate hate how car companies are copying other companies like the 2013 Hyundai Genny

If I was still in my teens and all I cared about was performance yeh.

But I would commute daily with this car and really the interior is just terrible. The Forte has a better interior and is one reason why I got it. If the GS got AWD I would get it when my payments on the Forte are done.

I third that I'm paying my Koup off and keeping it as my run around car. I love it.
