@JawzX2: Well, it would've been if only I had written CR-Z instead. It may still work.

@keyboardcat: Your paws must be sore from playing the keyboard so long.

Sometimes "I don't know" is a valid answer.

@zachUK: I wonder why Air France couldn't make any money on it. Despite heavy internal regulation they seem to do well with other transportation sectors, like automotive and high-speed rail.

A compact, lightweight RWD sedan with a manual transmission is illegal in the United States. I don't see airbags, traction control, or any evidence of an anti-lock braking system. There is high risk of European suspension design. Someone could get seriously injured or killed. I've notified ebay who I trust will…

@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: Oooh, yeah. Had the sedan, and it was hardly sporty! One of the last cars in the U.S. to carry a 4-spd stick.

@pauljones: Brilliantly observed. Porsche excels at the zero-sum game. Take an average used Boxster. Attractive in profile, but the interior is often purple or blue and it has fried eggs for headlights. Sublime dynamics are present but Tiptronic is also often present. Its shape suggests 911 power, but it's outgrunted…

@Elhigh: I thought the rear seats were the best feature. Slides back and forth...tons of legroom. Built on the not-too-bad to drive Saab platform with right balance of power/economy: 200hp/30mpg hiway.

I've always had half a mind to embrace my contrarian leanings and daily drive one of these. It has to be the hatch, though. The wagon's for fuddy-duddies.
