We don't. I see none of it here.
The opinion on it's looks are exactly that, and they are like ********...Everyone has one.
I can have my opinion that my FD looks nicer than an FC, and that's not in a defense of anything. It iss a fact it comes faster from the factory, if that's what we're calling better? Doubt it.
Everything else is debatable, and I see no such "defending" going on. I am and have considered getting an FC-Convert as a daily,...
Over at supraforums, matter-of-factly, the MKIII owners have a small case of MKIV owners downing the MKIII's calling them ugly, slow, and not nearly the legend the MKIV is. Here, I always thought and had a feeling that all 3 gen's rock, and most agreed. So what's the hubub? I mean, damn, Joe himself rocked an FB for sooo long.

Which is why FC's are cool. Because you can keep the sports car in the garage and cruise around town in the beater FC with your friends.

Ya know there is nothing I hate more than seeing kids driving these cars. Ragging the **** out of them, blowing them up, wrecking them, putting body kits on them, ect... Only problem I see with the FC's, other than personal opinion on their styling, is that kids drive them too and too often than not don't take care of them either. So you end up with a 20 year old car looking like crap that has the potential to be a really nice car that can perform just as well as the FD.

Yeah! The only downside is that sometimes I have to saw off my friends' legs to get them to fit.
