"Well those engineers are now on core projects. So core product will have performance. Why make it a separate line with ricer bodies? Put the power and handling in a regular handsomely styled car without ricing on top."
I totally agree. Why does "performance" always have to come in "low volume" versions with a "big ol' dealer markup"??
I'd imagine cars with ricer bodies are biodegradable, and therefore carbon friendly. :-)
