sweet little car if it gets imported, not a lot of power but a nice platform to build on.

edit: maybe not for the silvia but definitely a sweet rwd sports coupe.

Thats cool but I would still want to see a crash test and rating for it. I don't want a fast car that crunches like a Chery.

I like the look.

Looks like a mini Ferrari.

Oh well.

...And like the Noble, if the Brazilians do find funding, the new Interlagos could come to the U.S. as a rolling chassis that requires a drivetrain, thereby skirting the whole safety and emissions requirements imposed upon vehicles sold fully assembled in this country.

I like this part ^

the kits would be sold to authorized dealers for them and a drivetrain would be installed per your request, meaning once you bought it, it would be a fully driveable car. it's a loophole a lot of kit car manufacturers use, not something unusual.

have you ever ridden in a lotus elise? the older versions that were naturally aspirated didn't make a whole lot of power, but were extremely nimble and lightweight. Fun little high revving cars.

So it's like a miata, except you won't feel gay driving it?...lol

I've driven several Elises and they are fun but much better when we put superchargers on them. This will probably be no different. Great looking car just begging for some more power, can't say there aren't several of those out there.

I'd like the new 240 to look like that. Prolly won't though.
