Copy and pasted that from another forum because the thread went to stupid and I thought it might do the same thing here. Cept here it seems the only subject that gets any play is about bringing back Pontiac.

“And hence the reason for my question: what is it that you’re trying to achieve with a car that has a “decent hp to weight” ratio? The obvious answer, to me, is a high(er) level of performance… no?”

Answer is …. the car has to have the power to get out of it’s own way. Something most compacts can not do. It’s not an ATS, it’s not a Speed 3, it’s not a Fucus ST. This is not a performance compact, but it has the hp to weight to pass on two lane blacktop without being stuck behind a mini van for 7 miles hoping for the room to make a move.

My question……….what in the world have you done to this place? It looks and feels cheap.
