I know, right? 3-series is the closest I've been able to find and they're annoyingly expensive in all the ways a car can be.

I very much like RWD, fun-to-drive cars. This wouldn't have been my first. But as a daily driver, it needs a little bit more to win me over.

One way would be practicality. For example, my current...

$25K, 22 MPG city, a relatively cheap interior, and no hatch? Sorry Toyota, I love the idea of the car but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

That headrest looks very disturbing. I wonder if you'll be able to sit up straight in the car, or if it'll force you to adopt a hunchback posture.

A little too much red in the interior, everything else is gold. Please, please let us have the auto climate control for the Scion version. And how about a RS1.0 in panda? You know you want to.

For the same reason that clothes don't look like runway designs. There's a difference between an artistic concept and a production version.

Am I the only person that's excited by the 12.5 CR? My only regret is that it isn't 13, a la Skyactiv.

My fuel economy benchmark is the BMW 528i. It's big, heavy (3800lbs), and powerful (240hp, 260lb-ft). EPA: 22/32.

In my book, a 2700lbs sporty coupe has to do at least that well.

It's all in the tires and electronic nannies. My 3-series with winter tires outperforms my previous Impreza with all-season tires to a ridiculous degree.
