Personally I'd prefer to see them do something with the C900. It's better known and well loved. Anyone who remembers 93/96's is well...my age. I'd also be a player for something smaller/lighter. Gas is $3.70 a gallon here and my Subaru is getting about 16 mpg (all local uphill/downhill, cold weather w/warm ups, etc). It'll get 24/26 on the highway but I don't do much highway. With China and India ramping up car production I think gas will be $5 a gallon in two to three years--maybe less. I'm thinking something between the size of my old '85 Jetta and a C900 that would get 32/34 in urban driving. Retro styling (93 or C900)would definately be cool. If they can come up with something like that in the mid-20's I'd be a player to buy new.
