Default Re: Pics of both cars

Very cool cars, but unfortunately, I do have to air my very pointed opinions on it:

The Corrado is a cool car, but I don't like it for the following reasons:

1. It's front wheel drive.

2. With the 2.8L VR6, it understeers, torque-steers, and feels deathly scary when braking into turns.

3. It requires about 250 lbs of sandbags in the trunk to feel somewhat neutral handling.

My opinion: If VW ever brought the Corrado back, it would HAVE to be AWD and without the Haldex nonsense - it should have more drive to the rear wheels than the front. It would have to be a real STI/EVO fighter.
