More like
R50/53 = Britney Spears (once attractive and desirable but now old and worn out)
R56 = Jessica Alba

Sad. Just sad.

Whoops! Zipped home in R56, retrieved garage door opener from SECRET COMPARTMENT, logged awesome mileage. . . did I miss something?? (besides the sexy side swells of my front bonnet that I see curving gently through my windshield!)

Well not much to add here, most of the comments I've seen or heard before, but it's all in good fun. If there was malice, it would have been posted in the 1st gen forums (if it has been posted there, my apologies, I don't usually go there since I'm a R56 owner and I tend to keep to my kind ).

Trash talk all you want about my little blue lady,but i will always love to hear her whine.I've only had one occasion to do a side by side acceleration comparison with a r56 and there was none, mylady excelled on into the distance.As far as emaciated,i like my girls full figured, besides, you know what they say about beauty,its in the eye of the beholder,and that be me.Lets motor!

Wha !?! Herpes ? That's going to change all my late night fantasies...







OK, no... it probably won't .

Either way, I'll live. I allways thought of my R56 to be more along the lines of a Scarlett Johansson, anyway . Now don't go tellin' me she's got the Hep and ruin that one for me, too!

Ack, that description makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I will never look at an R56 the same way again.

I must confess though, that with extensive plastic surgery, the R56 can look awesome.

Sad news the designer of the R56 was tragically savaged by his seeing eye dog and never survived. His design unfortunately did

Did that happen before he designed the R56?

Ok, Johansson is a R56, Rachael Welch,a radiant beauty a little older a little more experienced,but i'm sure performs quite well could be an R53.

Did you see Kate Beckinale after her plastic surgery (google for awful plastic surgery)

We've got an R50 and an R53, with an R56 on the way.

The R50 is like Jennifer Anniston. Aging quite well and still very attractive, but not a great performer. She has her occasional moments of glory, and she's WAY hotter than anyone your friends are with.

The R53 is like Farrah Fawcett. More sexy than beautiful, you know she's bad for you, but you just don't care. Then her quirky side appears, and all your friends suddenly understand why you are quickly losing your hair. Every day is a new, scary adventure with her, and you wouldn't want it any other way.

The R56 is like Charlize Theron. Beautiful, but not overly sexy. Athletic, but a bit lacking in the "curvey" department. A solid performer, no matter what role is thrown at her. The most skilled of the list, but deep down you secretly wish she'd get a boob job

Are there really any cars (or anything else, for that matter) that wouldn't fail in that comparison?

I will confess it must be really cool to have a "secret compartment' but we have a really strange cupholder to compensate, so all is fair.


Yeah, but at least as R53 owners, we don't have to worry about how big our secret compartment is!!!!!
