It can be argued that no one really makes a pocket rocket anymore, so what's the point? You cannot really try to claim the modern A5 GTi is a pocket rocket, and neither is the new Civic. Manufacturer's have unanimously started making larger, heavier, "safer", and more "efficient" automobiles. So again I ask, what is the point? To appease the small percentage of the population that is the "tuner crowd"? In the generalized automotive manufacturer sense, that appeasement is simply "custom" shift knobs, muffler tips, and "ground effects".
