When I drove the Sport model (and I drove it damn hard) It didn't have much body roll at all, it was surprisingly stiff actually. Did you have the base model?

We are launching a new brand. We have the option of integrating the brand within the parent company, a la Scion, or creating a standalone brand, a la Saturn. We also only have one product. One second thought, we have no option, it is clear that standalone dealerships work best for low-volume niche brands.

I can see it now, it will be just like Mini, but without the hindrance of being attached to a BMW dealership and sharing the service bays with a prestige brand. But in order to keep our upscale image, we will mirror the Porsche 911, and eventually create more trim levels than anyone could ever imagine.

Our target market is the occupy movement. It's getting popular and they hate rich people, establishment, and America. It's a perfect fit, but they are Americans, so I guess it's more of a tight fit, LOL.

Yes, I got the base model from Enterprise for about $17 a day
It is a cool car
I am just saying the business model is weak
It is a perfect spare car for someone in Scarsdale but there are a limited number of Scarsdales in the US
