Would a cheap, light, quick, RWD japanese import really be bad for the market right now?

no i beg to differ. the badge still says Corolla.

yeah i knew someone was going to try and bring up that argument.
you think slapping on a slightly hotter motor and some springs is going to make the xrs a hot performer?
CTR is a complete package.
xrs is more like a civic si-r
a few upgrades and add on.
apples to oranges.

The current Corolla looks awful IMO. So the XRS is at a disadvantage from the start.
Also, 160hp in today's sporting compact market, is not all that much, considering the price of entry...
Again, I return to my first argument.
If it were my $15K, I'd by an DB Integra and start with that. Or if you want a plebian looking sedan, get a EK Civic and go from there.
