^ people want compacts but VW and the Japanese cant be beat in that market. US compacts dont have much sex appeal. Cobalt SS? My past cars were a GTI, Focus SVT, WRX, Contour SVT for a lil bit and now a Mazdaspeed 6. Now Ford doesnt make a good looking compact, Dodge makes a a neon SRT?? and a Zero Caliber when they had stuff like the Razor concept like 10 yrs ago, and the Demon concept, and you wonder why Chrysler is bombing. They had better cars in '88, Conquest, hell gimme a Shelby Omni.
I like the Volt concept but Subaru is coming with diesel and will takeover.
