I did some more thinking..
hatch liftback. the concept seems to have this, and the utility factor would go way up.
taut, direct, tactile steering feel. none of this overboosted shit.
i guess i could read up on this, but i really hope its easy to work on (easily accessible oil filter, drain plug, spark plugs, fuel filter, etc). i like to work on my cars and i hope this one is conducive to that
and yeah.. timing chain or belt?

Does anyone know if electric power assist can be 'hacked'? I know with DBW you can get controllers for, but what about steering? I went through a bit of a process to delete the power steering on my Supra (custom billet alternator bracket to re-tension the new smaller belt). At speed it is freakin' awesome. But parking, omg...
A selectable non-speed sensitive electric assist would be nice. Basically something like a switch for Parking Mode.
