On our local forum we've got a pretty good FAIL thread going. I would have to put the cancellation of the "S" chassis into this thread.

One of the guys said making it 15% lighter. That could be done by only doing the most basic of options. No power anything, no GPS (got it on my phone), no sunroof. And to be affordable in production, use primarily recycled metal. That would appeal to green fans and also cut production cost and improve profit.

The way auto manufacturers are these days, they're gonna throw in all the goodies in the different trims. Probably even throw in stock projectors with HID's, a Navi option, auto up/down windows, auto lights, airbags on every interior panel, optional bose stereo etc etc

I think I'll stick with the '90's era sports cars or early 2000's stuff. This new stuff is to complex for my simple tastes.
if it wasnt for gas, i would have opted for the 60s-70s era. i said screw all this technology buellshyt, power mirrors, sliding seatbelts (wtf). and now my SR is in a 510
