No, no, no not a "park bench" wing!
More along the line of a bunk bed wing!
Make a great shelving unit though.

I didn't think classic Minis were allowed over in the states?

I use mine as a shoe rack. Allows me to have the appropriate shoes for any occasion.

We have them in Canada. Not a lot of them mind you but you see one every once in a while.
Usually the guy driving is wearing a tweed jacket and smoking a pipe though!

Right, because the rear wheels on a FWD car don't need traction during high speed cornering... And stability??? Pshhh! Who needs that when you gots tha FWD!!!

fuck this car, its gonna die a horrible death if it even sees the light of day. there's no way it'll compete financially with the already confirmed focus RS or the VW Golf R. The civic R is gonna cost at least 30k if not even more. It's gonna be out of the fr-s price range anyways. Focus RS is gonna win the hot hatch battle.

I thought the twins were already slow enough that you already see everyones taillights

strat61caster · 12-19-2014, 11:43 PM

I like it, doesn't look like the designers sat down with a focus group who wants a car that is 'grounded to the ground' like the generic Toyobaru.

Word. LOVE the looks of it.

Doesn't bother me if it's fwd, I'm following it. Anxious to see the end result and if the motor is actually going to be put into a chasis for the US market. This and the new Focus RS has got my attention, that's for sure.

Reminds me of the 7th gen Celica "looks fast" commercial years ago.

Yeah, the Focus RS is a sweet little pocket rocket.
