Default lots of car companies coming out with several great cars

at good prices. Now I may not ever want to own most of them, but being a car enthusiast i think it's a great thing. This forces everyone to up the ante and make every car better.

Now do I think the neon is a threat to any Audi, no. They do not compete with eachother at all, except they both have the similarity of being a car.

10 years ago cars were boxes on wheels with less power than a moped. Things certainly are improving in the car market. I love it.

Default The PT Turbo is pretty peppy to. But I agree, they need better wheel package and other improvements

But their goal was performance squeezed into the current package. I thought I heard it had the viper seats though, that would be sweet. It did win Sport Compact Car Mag's car of the year.
