[quote=jcp123;992370]So, with less opportunity out there to really explore the ever-increasing limits automakers are building into cars, will there eventually be a point where more performance just doesn't sell anymore?

Or do you think despite the piling on of traffic laws, there will always be the "outlaws" who will go for the big guns?[/quote]
Well it looks like the last “classic” rear wheel drive Commodore is going out with a bang.

Let me double check, just in case, but I think we are not in Africa.
No, we aren't.
Yet.
Or something.

James May makes comments about the Dacia worldwide. Thus my new found belief that pimento has been James May all this time :)

Protesting against Chryslancias with a Fiat Ritmo has to be an irony.

And in case anyone is wondering, the answer is yes.
And there's no probably this time.
Or something.
Not making stunningly ugly cars might've helped too.
