The market is BEGGING....

[Evan]

I think I said something very similar on the GRM forum.

Nobody *really* wants to buy a 20k rwd "neatbox". What we want is someone ELSE to buy a 20k rwd "neatbox", them to drive it for a year or 3, then buy it from them for 2500 bucks.

That's what we REALLY want.

I disagree 100%. I dont think that quote applies here at all, although this was the best thread I to put it in. (the quote, btw, is in reference to the Pontiac G8, which makes a lot more sense)

I would buy one. Ive been thinking of BMWs and other stupid expensive crap because there is no good alternative.
FWD Sport compacts have been immensely successful over the past 20 years. How would giving them less suck and better handling be a bad thing that no one wants to buy?
The only hard part is finding the cost savings of platform engineering, and with a lot of car companies now coming out with rwd platforms, there is no reason not to do a cheap rwd sport compact.



and wtf is a 'neat'box?
