What cars are you looking forward to driving this year?
Posted: Wed May 30, 2012 7:52 amI'm always looking for article ideas and one thing we do when we are sitting around trying to figure out what to write about is talk about upcoming cars that we can't wait to drive. I think it's fun to see the different tastes of everyone and to see what they are looking for. 2012 is going to be a block buster year for new cars and with summer right around the corner we will start seeing them real soon.
We've already gotten our mitts on a BRZ and loved it, although it needs another 50hp in a big way. That was certainly first on our list to drive. The C7 Vette should debut later this year but we may not get to drive it until next year. That's of huge personal interest to me being a C6 owner. Obviously the new Viper is also high on that list. In a little more boring terms I'm interested in driving a Chevy Malibu Eco. Chevy is real close on the Malibu to having a real winner of a car there. Also the Chevy SS is going to be pretty exciting even though we already know what it's like with the Commadore and Pontiac G8. The Cadillac ATS is promising as well especially since it might give us our first glimpse at either the smaller displacement LS engine or an amped up version of the turbo V6. Japan doesn't have too much else exciting in the pipeline this year but I hear next year will be good.

. Barely had any time to drive it last summer, think I drove it for 100km at most. I did fit the carburettors with velocity stacks before putting it back in the garage, haven't tested them yet.
