What causes zoomies to obsess over pseudo racing japanese slop?
The boomer I bought my house from had an slk kek
>>28924267WTF else is there for Gen z to like? Everything is garbage. 90% of the market is car-based crossover clones and EV's, and out of the rest the only things that have potential to be fun are "sport tuned" economy sedans like wrx or gti, but those are boring now. There is very little to be excited about in the current car market.
>>28924267Zoomers aren't having kids so they don't need an suv or minivan
What do you like, OP?
>>28924267>What causes zoomies to obsess over pseudo racing japanese slop?The entry point for a cheap sports car kinda went to the stratosphere.Also, 4 cylinder beater coupe is cheaper to maintain than a dedicated track weapon.
>>28924278>There is very little to be excited about in the current car market.If you love driving and nothing else, It's just the 86 and Miata left. That or expensive heavy automatic living rooms with loads of power that feel like shit to drive.t. Late 80s millennial.
>>28924267Culture has stagnated. Zoomies are just growing up in the current decade, yet all idolize the same "JDM hero" cars that the weeb-obsessed millennials did, such as the Skyline GT-R, Supra, AE86, RX7, S-Chassis and so on. These are all now unobtanium priced at this point where 200k mile Supras are $100k cars, so something like an 86 that can still be bought for ~$30k new with a warranty, with the shitty features they love (and don't know how to retrofit) like Carplay and backup cameras seems like a sensible purchase by that logic.
Why do millennials obsess over ugly ass minivans?
>>28924297240SX did 0-60 in upper-7s and had an open diff.Nu-86 does mid 6s and has a Torsen (doesn't need clutch rebuilds) LSD standard. And it's got rear wishbones. Slightly cheaper than a 240sx after inflation, too.People seem to ignore that it's better than a lot of old tuner cars in several ways. They gave us what we asked for.
>>28924299Did I not mention weight and money? Also that's not a new car you silly goose
>>28924278>>28924292GM is bringing back the camaro, the same car that already drove better than the miata and GR86 for a cheaper price.the 6th gen camaro was arguably car of the decade, and the 7th gen likely will too riding on that brilliant alpha platform.
>>28924267Millennials fucking suck.
>>28924307I'm that anon. I agree, the Camaro is the best value performance car this decade.I really like lightweights so, for me, it's just the Miata, 86 is too heavy. But yes, the newest Camaro is a better car overall
>>28924307>GM is bringing back the camaroThat's one car, it doesn't really make much difference in how shit the current car market is. Plus it's a bit on the fat side. Last gen was like 3,800+ pounds, I suspect the new one will probably be creeping up on 4K. Yeah you can make up for that with power, but you'll feel that weight in the handling no matter how well the suspension is set up.
>>28924335>Last gen was like 3,800+ poundsNot true at all, the 4 cylinder was like 3400 lbs.>Yeah you can make up for that with power,not only does the camaro not need power, it doesn't even need anything more than all season tires and it still beats the competition through sheer handling alone.You just need to drive one on track to feel the magic.
>>28924346Well. That cute 25 y.o. chick that works the Publix deli just got a Mazda 3 and she'll be paying it off for many years. Most zooms aren't loaded.Also I assumed it was only about new cars, I owned see it isn't.
>>28924352>Not true at all, the 4 cylinder was like 3400 lbs.Nta but that's 1,100+ lbs heavier than my car.
>>28924278There are still cool cars. You just need a lot of money to buy them
>>28924361Can your car beat a Yaris GR on nothing but all seasons?
>>28924369>You just need a lot of money to buy themThat's kind of also the point here... cars have become outrageously expensive compared to average income. That's why the 86 is so popular, it (and the miata) are really the only fun car that's still affordable.
>>28924301They don't. The OP stats are stupid, as these things tend to be. The Kia Carnival has only been sold under that nameplate in the US since 2022 and millennials are basically the only people who've had kids in the last 5 years so naturally they're the only ones buying minivans. It's a dumb technicality that basically only exists because Kia changed the name so recently.
>>28924381Both of those cars are 15-20 years old. There's zero chance they would be anywhere near as popular with younger drivers than something much more recent.
>>28924399Not even bringing availability into the equation.
>>28924381Those cars both cost *multiple times* more to insure and maintain. Shit adds up.You know that.
>>28924404Not sure what you're getting at... I didn't say anything about then not being good cars. What I said was they aren't popular with younger drivers today (which is the entire point of this thread) because they're old and in limited supply.
>>28924415To be fair, a C4 is cheaper to buy and maintain than a C6 Z06. I'm not particularly surprised, life is chaotic.The LT1 (and LT4) C4s are breddy gud and you can still get LT1 parts. They're very brutish, a miata is easier to control past the limit (aka, I feel more comfortable pushing it often without fear of death). Say skill issue all you want, I like like powersliding and living to do it again and often.
>>28924424>20 year old $5K BMW as a daily driverLOL no. It's gonna cost a shitload to maintain and will spend more time in your garage being worked on than on the street.
>>28924441he's about to deny this despite having posted the receipts himself from getting the engine in his dad's F10 M5 rebuilt to the same cost as buying another F10 M5
>>28924381Yes, but that's a Corvette. Meaning you will now be part of the Corvette owners club, the most insufferable car people to have ever populated the planet. I would rather paint myself in blackface and drive around in a G37 than own a corvette.
>>28924297The problem is that car culture buyers are no longer buying new. Part of it it's the economy, 20-30 years ago the average 20s idiot making 30K-40K in an entry level job could afford to get himself a brand new fast couple car. Even if it was a "lame" V6 it was still fast and exciting enough. Nowadays after 2 economic disasters, inflation, wage stagnation, etc. the average 20s idiot making 30K 40K a year on a intro salary cannot afford to buy a brand new sports car. They cannot afford to buy brand new anything unless the make the ultimate compromise and buy the lamest vehicles on the road like a Kia Niro or something like that, so they buy used.And used buyers mater not to the manufacturers, this is also the reason why the entire car market is moving to AWD Cuckovers with no good color options beyond different tones of gray, because the new car buyer nowadays is in their 40s, and people in their 40s like cuckovers. it's a catch 22 if ever there was one, manufacturers don't make new fast fun cars cause there's no demand, the people who would demand fast and fun cars are also the ones who cannot afford to buy new.
>>28924267It's cheap
>>28924523You spent $20k on an engine rebuild? Fuckin' ridiculous. You can get a (miata) BP longblock for $1.5k and have it fully-built with forged shit and fuel upgrades for $4-7k.What failed on it to make you pursue that route? ;3
>>28924526Expensive shit sucks too
>>28924523We've already done this song and dance before, retard. And don't think I didn't notice, the receipt was for $26k, not 20. >inb4 muh special snowflake silverstone paint nobody cares it's fucking boring grandpa silver and doesn't add value to anyone with eyes
>>28924352>4 cylinder Camaro
>>28924543So... your HIGH quality engine failed and that's why you needed a rebuild? Got it.
>>28924547or you could buy an engine from a HIGHER QUALITY manufacturer that wouldn't blow up in the first place
>>28924550No it didn't. Those parts were an extra $4.4k on top of that $26k. Why are you lying when you've posted the evidence against your own claims yourself?
>>28924550>riced outhttps://bringatrailer.com/listing/2014-bmw-m5-43/It's unmodified. Again, why do you have to lie so much?
>>28924299>An ancient, pigfat, expensive, slow, ugly, ticking time bomb is the enthusiasts car
>>28924547We're talking about why zoomers don't buy expensive cars. Not everyone gets an inheritance such as yours. You can't just expect everyone to make a lot of money, because then a lot of money wouldn't be a lot of money anymore.
>>28924557>"performance" car>beancountered bullshit that blows upSounds like a steaming pile of shit to me, not a "performance car"
>>28924446Wrong, cyclists hate corvettes
>>28924557Sounds like it's actually low quality, if the weakest link in it is made so cheaply
>>28924564>he had to make payments to fix his dad's shitbox with a blown engineKill yourself lying poorfag
>>28924570Damn, you sure seem to hate BMWs a lot
>>28924572Yeah I agree, BMWs completely fail at offering anything that an enthusiast would desire
>>28924352camaro is just a rebodied ugly less practical commonwhore with zero visibility, shitty little boot and zero street credif we're going 1600+ kilos, sell me the entire whore, don't truncate her
>>28924581Prove it, I'm not believing a word you say anymore given all the other lies that have been pointed out in this thread.
>>28924580or better
>>28924592Cope
>>28924601That the engine didn't blow up. Bad rod bearings sounds like blowing up to me.
>ai slop Not even worth one (You) sweetie
>>28924267I think I've seen a grand total of one (1) Carnival driving around ever. Who the fuck is buying these things.
>>28924278It would be Miata or something except everybody drives Miatas so they don't rate because there's no ownership differential.
>>28924307This graph isn't which car they like the most, it's which car they like more than other generations do. I assume Camaros are relatively popular across the board, where the GR86 is specifically popular with zoomers, probably because they got hit with all it's marketing during the most impressionable time of their lives.
>>28924631absolutely bodied that freak
>>28924631A physical explosion and common parlance of "the engine exploded" are two different things and you are aware of it. Highly disingenuous of you.>>28924629I could see them all the time and not notice. I don't mentally scan CUVs, SUVs, or minivans anymore.
>>28924373Truly cool cars would be universally popular and thus not rank highly by this metric. This is cars that are more popular in one demographic than any others.
>>28924647that's cool man
>>28924643>>28924648An anon that can actually read and understand a simple chart on, on my /o/?!Seriously it's not impressive anywhere else but I'm shocked to see anyone here get the point.
>>28924652When someone says they "blew up their engine" I assume it was a rod bearing failure.Parlance. Colloquialism.
>>28924657I like this particular woman more than the standard tarted up bimbo posted here.
Tee hee hee.
>>28924664Yeah, I saw you post that earlier and almost said something. She looks homely but exciting. Pleasant to look at.
>>28924670Yes, spun a bearing is the proper term. "Blew it up" is the bantz parlance. Get with the picture man.When you say "little Chudski blew up today" you really mean he threw an autistic rage fit.Hope that helps. This is really silly by the way. Somehow the worst failure I've gotten driving absolute clapped out shit boxes with 200+k and redlining them non-stop was a dead thermostat leading to a busted radiator. But I guess ze Yermans operate on a different level.
>>28924670arab paris hilton
>>28924631clean your lens
>>28924670>>28924676disgusting whores who probably stink of chlorine
>>28924699>spinning a rod bearing isn't the same as throwing a rod lolNo, but they both are casually referred to as blowing up the engine. Rod bearings, from what I've seen, are the most common cause of engine failure. I didn't say anything about throwing a rod through the block.
>>28924589Cheap parts holding up a "high quality" design is a common scam tactic anon.
>>28924596>I hate when (thing) has (stuff that makes thing)Do you actually like BMWs, or this fanfiction you invented about what they "should" be?
>>28924706This is a really lame semantic argument. Time to go on my beer run and start my real day.B double-E double-R U-N beeeer ruuun!https://youtu.be/pyCPhIjmk-s
>>28924598Yeah that describes a bmw owner pretty well, thanks

>>28924618>>28924620>>28924625AI is absolutely wreaking havoc on the brains of retards.
>>28924726Yes, we do blame them. BMWs are considered mediocre because that's the majority of the people making decisions on their designs
>>28924267It's the only fun card they will ever be able to afford, and that's if they can
>>28924787It's really bad. All those schizophrenic/bipolar people that think they broke the laws of physics or discovered some mathematical breakthrough now have a machine in their pocket that will reaffirm any of their delusions with the press of a button.
>>28924834Look at Subaru go with just under a quarter of BMW's workforce! That's the power of modular design.>Someone else posting ai results doesn't stop you from just looking it up yourself lolI think that anon was specifically talking about generative AI, not "AI" search results. But AI search results will give false info. It could end up sourcing from some reddit post or pseudoscience site and because it found something that agrees with you, it says you're correct, which can lead to delusional thinking. With cut-and-dry things like "explain bernoulli's equation" I'd say AI's fine, but other things you definitely need to check sources and look elsewhere.
lol yet another f10 incel crashouthow many more years of this before he offs himself
>>28924307Begone shill
>>28924517This is literally true; you are retarded and bound to be punished soon for your sins.
>>28924580You're confusing alpha platform with zeta. zeta was the commodore. there were no commodores on alpha. the Camaro is actually just a cadillac underneath. it has the structure of a premium car compared to the GR86/Yaris GR that are just souped up shitboxes.
>>28924949>there were no commodores on alpha.And that's a fucking crime, the GM execs who killed Holden will have to watch their backs in Minecraft
>>28924424The phrase is "a dime a dozen", not "a diamond dozen"Dumbass reddit spacing calispic

>>28925034>The phrase is "a dime a dozen", not "a diamond dozen"... really? I guarantee he did that as a tongue-in-cheek joke.
>>28925038It's "Tongan cheek", retard.

>>28924267based zoomersit's so shit that my generation loves suvs
>>28924954GM execs didn't kill holden, it was australia's hard on for chinese shit. if australians actually wanted commodores GM would've had incentive to make them. as it stood, there weren't enough sales to justify the model line.
>>28925231Name one Chinese brand that was even on sale when the VF Commodore was discontinued in 2017.Here, I'll answer for you:>Great Wall: was dogshit and everyone knew it. 404 sales that year.>LDV: Basically just selling vans. But fair is fair, they made 1653 sales that year.>MG: Launched in 2016, 600 sales in 2017.Oh yeah, it was definitely the Chinese eating Holden's lunch when they sold 30,203 Commodores alone in the same year.
>>28925231kek, what >>28925324 said. when holden was still kicking, even in school when we weren't old enough to drive, we made fun of chinese cars. i still remember around 2015 or so when chery pulled out because they made such shit cars and they had asbestos or something like that in them. then they came back in 2023 selling the same shitboxes.
the h2 is probably the most gen x car ever. im surprised its not supra or skyline/gtr for zoomers and corvette for boomers though, though the cars that won out still track
