Doesn't really matter. Last toyota solo made AWD turbo 3cyl ICE. Ultra limited. It's 1000% going to be a collectors item. That will appreciate, especially after it goes out of production.

It could litterally perform worst than everything out there, it will be sought out car. LFA prime example, trash performance that no one wanted, then bam.

I dont buy cars for investment purposes, but an asset holding 100% of its value vs. 30%. Doesn't have to be an investments, it's just common sense.
You should buy art instead of cars. Iā€™m going to drive the shit out of my cars not bubble wrap them so I can say I sold it for triple what I paid for it 20 years ago. Art you can hang on your wall and stare at it all you want.

But, I don't care about art. I like cars lol. Also, who said I wouldn't drive the car? You can drive the piss out of your s2k and it still still be worth its MSRP. Just don't crash it or blow something up rofl.

Super easy for me to keep milage down, I don't have to leave my house for work.

Sidebar - i made an instagram account and only after a few weeks the thing has teed up tons of three kinds of videos -

1. FL5s and FK8ā€™s
2. Beautiful Japanese women
3. Puppies

I donno about that. Car is pretty underwhelming, maybe if they had a rally version that dominated wrc. Anyways, i dont buy cars thinking it might appreciate 20 years down the road. Thats why investments are for.
The point that person should've made is that often times the cars worth having are more than just numbers.

Just click on the three dots on each video and select ā€œNot Interestedā€; this will train the algo to suggest the opposite of the things you donā€™t like.

But I like themā€¦.

That would be funny though - what is the opposite? Old minivans, old men and cats? šŸ˜‚

Id rather see a beautiful Japanese woman holding a puppy in a bb FL5!

How, after someone posts a picture of an FL5 in Michigan, does nobody respond to that, but everyone keeps talking about art and instagram account preferences? What is happening to us!?

oh I completely understand, the car is quick but not adjustable and understeers. You have to drive it like a fwd car to make it go fast. I'll save the 20k, drive the piss out of something like a elantra N.

FYI FL5 spotted driving on UK roads, images shown on FB group.

It is assumed to be review units driving around. Looks like Oct will be review release.

Since the first FL5 has landed in the US and is clearly on the road, do we all get 50 bucks now? šŸ˜‚
I think the bet was it had to be a car @ NA dealership with a VIN assigned to someone for purchase, before Jan 1, 2023.
