I've been starting to think my shortlist for future cars (ultimately replacing the current Miata). It does`t have to be a convertible next time around (in fact, I do not want a softtop)
This 135 could be IT. If this thing can be had for under $50K CAD, it will be numero uno on my potential list. The idea of a small tight handling driver`s coupe with a smooth turbo sixer putting out 300+ HP through a balance chassis is making me giddy.
My shortlist:
1. 135
2. Evo
3. STi
4. Mazdaspeed MX-5 PRHT (turbo version if ever)
5. Acura TSX (when Honda releases a turbo 4 AWD version)
I`m liking what I see so far about this 135. It looks ok, nothing offensive about it, but I`ll bet this thing will be incredible to drive.
If they ever offer a auto-manual (ala VW DSG), that would be a bonus feature (I`d like to try something of that nature in my next car)
