Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Welsh, Jennifer Aniston etc. I don't care who you compare my R52 with. I just like the fact that she goes topless any time I want her too.

The best part is the username - spanish for 'skinny'.

Which would, of course, differentiate your R52 from Scarlett, Rachel and Jennifer.

++1 for this thread. Good job flaco! You will become a 6th gear user before you know it. In fact, your probably an Honorary 6th'er.

Rastven Johansson is aperfectly apt description of an R56.
I so agree with Rastven on this one. Scarlett Johansson has a wonderful range of talent, as well as being extremely beautiful, just like my svelte R56.

Yup! It also makes for a cheaper date. $30 for gas and she'll stay with me all day. I don't think any of the women celebrities mentioned in this thread would give me the time of day for $30.

She would have to be Chili Red.

Why am I reading these threads? I've got things to do...

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

Not sure about trying to match up the R53 v R56 w/ current stars, but any one who'd put up w/ rhinoplasty which makes one's nose actually obsolete (hood scoop for no reason at all) has to have gotten bad advice from somewhere. The poor R56...

Who says they're all girls, anyway?

How about:

R53 = Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley

R56 = Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity

Will it never end? Quite a few of us have not owned both so of course we will be bias to what we have. That being said, the R56 is hands down better!

Personally I think you all been reading the supermarket rags a little too much. Who are all these people you are comparing to your cars? I agree with PistWalrus. R56 is hands down better. Just not better than the R53.

(just a joke....i find some postings very amusing and reflect the personalities of the writers more than anything to do with the cars)
And a good one... Thanks

Amanda Tapping any day of the year, any year of the century (well the first 18-45 odd anyway).
