I saw the title and was expecting a Buick or a Volvo.

I'd love it even more if it were RWD, but sure, great touring car, probably not "old" old. Congrats on the purchase!

The sad thing is I was at Carlisle a week or so ago and it has me hankering after an 850 wagon…

BTCC FTW…

Ha, old dudes drive those is all I see around here that or the 40 something middle eastern guys. I don't remember seeing too many Turbo S around.

I revved it up a bit today inside the garage so I can hear the exhaust. I was too excited when I brought the car home so actually hear anything. Its not too quite once it goes above 35-4000 rpm and I am fine with it. It has a bit of a whine to it instead of the throaty sound like my old 930. Nothing beats the old air cool exhaust sound.

I'm very dissapointed. I was expecting a Camry or Lexus ES.

Old man car? No. Midlife crisis car? Maybe.

Tried to convince my wife to let me buy a similar one in a silver-grey color. By the time she agreed, it was gone. It was really to replace her car...and she would never have driven it...so I decided to buy her a Lexus instead (as she likes those better). She will not drive that either and insisted on keeping her 2001 Lexus. She only drives about 10-15 miles a month anyways. Turns out I like the new Lexus RC350 for the short trips we take...so I guess it worked out ok.

Low slung/diminutive vehicle should be bright colored

Black is OK since it stands out (plenty of contrast) in moderate lighting conditions. Dark colors, bright colors, all OK. Red MSM OK, black MSM OK, orange MSM OK, gray MSM invisible.

I had a black '88 911, and black and red miatas, no problems. My silver boxster is "not seen" more often than the others.

Needs to be old man tan!

Congrats! Really nice looking car!

Youngest old man car I've ever seen. Looks like a lot of fun!

Looks great! I love it!
