THIS is why you just dont get it. RWD
IS special...
at this price point.
you speak highly of your GTi and the MS6. but guess what? both of those cars are kitted up version of grocery getters. so is the Si. and all 3 are FWD which right off the bat is fundamentally worse than RWD as a drivers car.
if you want lighweight and RWD you will have to pay extra, simply because it IS different. the miata is right there as well in price. its slow as heck, but you know what? who cares! it handles well and is fun. That's all that matters. do miata owners lose sleep every night because their car is slower than a GTi? hell no!
the bottomline is that all signs are pointing that this car WILL have Si level performance. but it also brings RWD driving dynamics, and supposedly great handling. THAT is what
should matter to people interested in this car. NOT 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times and fucking Nring lap times... if that kinda car is not for you, then look elsewhere until there is real proof of a turbo option. like seriously. what do people really expect from a $20k+ car???
