you have to compete somehow. its all business. i mean if people are buying up wrx's and evo's. why not make an affordable on thats just as fast? its all about profits man!

I'm wondering where your coming from when you ask this question. It's written as if domestic drivers have some kind of problem with sport compacts.



I could care less, this pretty much sums up my opinion ...

GM has the C6 and GTO

GM could compete if they came out with a factory turbo ecotec. that motor is plenty strong, they just dont have the balls to boost it like dodge did with the srt-4. its all good though.
