Treza... what about the Aurion TRD? I could go on....

[gareth_oau]

agreed treza, for years weve been told that the celica (sillycar?) is the world's best selling sports car, when in fact, we all know that it was just a 2 door camry. its all about marketing spin

[Mr Messy]

True. I agree that Toyota is pretty soulless but they're getting on track with the IS-F is a pretty good thing and the LF-A.
The rear-drive FT86 coupe looks good too.

Aaaand I reckon Castrol GT4s and the Toyota GT-One are magical as well.



P.S
F1 content - Renault boss Carlos Ghosn has announced the company will make a decision about its F1 future by the end of December.

Jean Todt has introduced some new rules for the 2010 season already:

• All cars taking part in Formula 1 must be red. Any car that is not red will be penalised 30 points for both driver and team.
• It is illegal for any team that does not already have a red car as of the start of 2009 to paint its car red.
• All teams must be based in Maranello. Teams will be free to choose NOT to be based on Maranello, but in return will be penalised 50 points.
• It is illegal for any team not based in Maranello as of the start of 2009 to move to Maranello.
• All teams must have at least three Rs in their team. Any team without three Rs in their name will be penalised 10 points per race. (NB Torro Rosso are penalised 20 points for inserting an illegal space between the Rs in their name). Also, all teams will be penalised 50 points per driver if they failed, as of the start of 1950, to have a horse as their logo.
• In any dispute between two teams all FIA adjudication MUST find in favour of which ever team presents its case using someone that Mr Todt is friends with.

Cheers,
Trent

The FIA no longer stands for Federation Internationale de l'Automobile but now after many years as its unofficial name will be called Ferrari International Assistance.

It's official: Button has joined McLaren

He will get absolutely destroyed by Lewis next year. Good move for McLaren for stability and getting an entire nation supporting them, but there were better drivers on the market.

[static1800]

Button is a good driver but I do agree Hamilton will own him, as much as I don't like him Lewis can drive the pants off that Mclaren.

I reckon Heidfeld and Rosberg will go to Brawn which is no Mercedes GP so they will have two German drivers which is what they wanted.

I'd rather Adrian Sutil over Heidfeld. We'll see what happens!

All the news of late (including Kimi's year off) will certainly make for an interesting season next year.

[revhead1016]

I’m surprise Kimi don’t want to go to the new Mercedes GP. I don’t think we will see him again. But for McLaren Button will definitely be the number 2 drive.

[static1800]

Kimi is sitting out because he will be getting paid more not to drive than if he were to drive...

[MattyT]

Kimi wants to do other stuff too. Rallies mostly. Why not? Variety is the spice of life!

[GOLFBALLS]

Yea good on him. I like Kimi, he's a legend. I think he's had a gutfull of all the extra PR bullscheisse that's involved.

He's a pure driver thru & thru and that's all he's in it for... and money.

I hope he comes back though, I'll miss his hilarious interviews
