I think that high performance cars will have a good foothold in America even in harder economic times. It is too much ingrained in the car-centric lifestyle here. I can imagine the justification "more sensible than a [insert v-8/10/12 gas guzzler here]". I remember when popular car mags here were singing the praises of how evo and STi were cheap performers. Whether or not they are cheap... you guys can fight over. I'll continue riding my bicycle everywhere I can.

I would hope it would be able to beat even a Integra GSX

Also it cost $45k (according to the new Car and Driver), which is a lot of money for a turbo hatch.

You NEED to get out on the the REAL bike and come ride with me this Saturday. I'm going out to Eagles Canyon to watch some of the guys in the motorcycle group do the trackday and get my bike setup for my first trackday.
