Do you really think butchering a family hatchback to put in a ridicously large engine, suddenly makes it a good car?

Maybe the RS Focus could be included in the list to bring up last place with its unforgiving twitchy handling on normal roads, but thats just a pointless engineering exercise.

Cheers

No RS Focus in the states, only a less impressive SVT model.

The 350Z is a very strong (read: good) exterior design. Even though one of the more controversial elements might be the taillights, they do follow existing body lines. So the shape and placement aren't totally arbitrary.

What's arbitrary are those damn rectangular white lights underneath the taillights (what do you call those?). The placement seems totally arbitrary. Reminds me of those on the dreadful and pointless Q45 that was just before the current dreadful and pointless Q45.

I was visualizing alternative locations for those lights. I think a better location would be underneath and adjacent to the taillights. Maybe stretch them wider, possibly even wrap them around the sides a little to complement the taillights.
