I almost voted for that but I'm a sucker for Porsche. The only problem I had with that car was the weak ass Ecotec 4 banger...now that problem has been solved :thumbup:

To answer your question, I doubt it meets safety requirements. Thing weighs like 2200 lbs. But it'd sure be nice if they tried to make it meet em

What do you guys think about the Alfas? Man, I like em. Ass end on the GTV and Spyder is bland at best, but I love the front ends. Looks like a svelte 3rd gen Integra. Very sessy vehicles. I hope they make a return to the US, along with MG and maybe even TVR (God forbid!)

The MR-2 Spyder weigh less than that. So the weight is probably not the reason. I'm guess GM is just too dumb and slow to bring it over.

I think MG is coming back. The only thing that the Alfa remind me of my integ is the lights. The rest is kinda ugly.

Lotus Elise > Opel Speedster IMHO.
Looks better and weighs less.

The only cars on the poll are the world debuts. It'd be a tad time consuming to put the entire list of cars from Geneva on there.

What's the deal with this car? Is there a single styling cue that remotely says "subaru"?

I went with the Accord Sport. If that turns out to be the TSX-S then I am surely going to buy one. It looks 100% badass...and is also in my price range.:thumbup:
