    they also did a concept C30 with AWD. Unfortunately to fit the awd drivetrain it ends up jacking the car UP about 30mm. Hardly conclusive to building a hot hatch Click here to enlarge

    Always been a big fan of the mps3! But dont like the new shape goin to a open bonnet scoop. Too similar to the wrx. I read they did this to get proper airflow over the tmic. Shame really as i loved the old bonnet. Mind you going with this style of bonnet should save about 20kg. Mps3s bonnets are soo heavy!

    Also heard they werent adding more power as they said it was at the limits of what you would want for a front driver. Which i tottally agree with. They are already limiting touque in 1st and 2nd. Think they said they were tryin to make it smoother. So yeah, copying the wrx is the go today it seems...
    dose for a day

    or bov for a lifetime?

    i think i know which one i'll choose. Haterz
