Replying to: rsholland (Jun 21, 2008 10:04 am) I think the real problem here is getting a vehicle with a very low production number here certified for sale. I may not be worth SOA's effort to do so. Yeah I was referring to the USDM market. Also over here, most sanctioned racing requires a lot of modifications, more than would come in a factory setup of any kind, so you'd still need to modify it in order to race em here. The only factory race car I know of here is the Mustang, and that's produced for a spec series and I don't think it's street legal. -mike |

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 24, 2008 4:12 am) Talking of space management, my new Honda Fit is the very epitome of it. Very roomy seating positions in both rows and has a reasonable amount of trunk space too (21 cu.ft), while externally the car looks dimunitive/pint-sized. The only downside is that with the smallish engine, the car has not moved much till it gets to the 3rd gear....but with 37+mpg (real world with 40% stop-and-go city and 60% hwy including 75-80mph speeds - not BS EPA numbers), I am not complaining !

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 24, 2008 4:12 am) That vinyl looks shiny and cheap. The fabric just looks bizarre, with that texture. The underseat storage bin looks gimmicky - they could have made it bigger. My van has one and it's always coming loose. They could have had 2 glove boxes instead of that slot above the single one. I do like how wide the rear doors are. I see a lot of room for improvement, though, before they bring it here. Make it bigger while you're at it.

Even in economical "I" (Intelligent) mode, a quick extension of the right boot will see the explosive "S#" sport sharp mode automatically engaged, allowing you to instantly overtake the car ahead. Then, just lift off on the throttle and "I" mode reengages, taking you back to economical cruising. Up until now, you had to flick the SI-Drive switch manually. " Huzzah to the new SI drive and a true "Intelligent" mode that doesn't neuter the car as it does in present Outbacks.
