Sounds nice. Real nice, but with two doors and the expected price, may as well buy the wife a F6........ or continue to aim at an XR5 (which she wants anyway).
Will be watching and waiting. |

I hope it's AWD.
Otherwise you can easily and build up an ST to a higher spec spending far less money

My thoughts exactly. I also think there is limited benefit in putting lots of power into a FWD car. |
