Really, does it bring you pleasure while you're driving to work to think of all the math those Japanese guys did when designing your car? If you're going to make an argument, please use logic and premises which are at least reasonable. "Fantastic engineering and precision crafting"? Dude, adding superlatives to your sentence doesn't make you sound any smarter, it just looks like you're trying too hard.

These opinions about turbochargers are quite unfounded. If I were to follow your line of reasoning, cars such as the Mazda RX-7 TT, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, Nissan 300ZX TT, Porsche 911 Turbo, Subaru Impreza WRX, Toyota MR2 Turbo, Toyota Celica alltrac and Toyota Supra TT would be low-tech hunks of junk with no thought put into them and no precision in their craftsmanship.

As for the SRT-4, the point of it is exactly what you said it is--to be cheap and go fast, refinement be damned. Obviously you're more concerned with things like a cushy ride and a quiet motor than with going fast and can't understand the appeal of a low 14-second car that costs 20 grand. Oh, and Neons aren't made out of plastic.
