The Auburn units were about as expensive as a limited slip $$$, but they are marketed to off-roaders. I'm not even mentioning the Ferrari E-diff. A mechanical LSD is considered small enough so I figured it was small enough for this topic.
And a hatchback would be my other small request. Coupes are just ugly IMHO. The back end needs to taper to the end of the vehicle. I actually thought that the rear bodywork on the prototype was to make a kammback like the Prius, Insight, EV1. Although I do admit that is pretty far fetched.
