Dude, I have never seen ANYONE so quick to jump to eroneous conclusions.

Are you just making stuff up to have something to talk about, or do you really believed the things you say?

A car without door handles, no AC, and no clock, may or may not have character, depending on the car.

E30 M3 over a E92
01 M Coupe over an 06 M Coupe
1969 Nissan 240Z over 1990 300ZX

993 Carrera over 996 Carrera
1985 MR2 over 1999 MR2
1969 Ford Mustang over 1974 Mustang II.

My point is that sometimes car makers "try" to make advancements that are actually steps backwards... it's not until looked at in the grand scheme of things is it clear how wrong the move was.

New is not necessarily better.

The only problem with that car was that they never did a model refresh on it.

Subaru brought the Brat back (Baja). I had a Brat once, I drove the piss out of that thing.

My friend, I think I was a little harsh in my last post, but I don't know how to address someone who twists and distorts so much of what is said. It's almost as bad as dealing with a Government Contracts Officer.

I think (or at least I guess) that it's primarily a matter of experience, or lack of same, but the misrepresentations don't sit well with me and I don't know how to address them. Based on what we've seen up to this point it seems that no matter how we try to explain this, or how carefully we choose our wording, it's going to be transformed and spit back at us in a way that makes it seem that we're saying things that we've never really said. I can't decided if it's malicious or just an inablilty to see past the end of one's own nose, but I give up.

Yea, the S2000 needs to be updated to be more like the 300ZX. Make it bigger, heavier, quicker, faster, and softer, and all will be right with the world.

NOT.

Forget the Gremlin; Bring back the Metropolitan.
