Basically. Are you arguing they're totally nonexistent?

I suppose not for cars currently in production but there are older (still new-ish) options. 1er, 3er (at least until recently). Charger / Challenger / Camaro / Mustang. RX-8.
I guess the unicorn I'm longing for has a back seat. |

I will broaden the discussion a bit...the decent $4k teenager-appropriate beater market is not as robust today as it was in January 2020. Need to add another one to the fleet. If anyone runs across an eighth gen (2008-2012) Accord sedan (V6 or I4) in good mechanical shape without a salvage title that can be had for $4k, please let me know. Open to other possibilities, but that's what I keep coming back to.

The Mark VI GTI/Golf R was practical and fun but not RWD. The Mark VII GTI/Golf R was also practical, but less fun. An M2 is probably the closest I can think of, but that's also eyewateringly expensive. EDIT: No manual for the Charger. This SS is not a bad option, but hammer price is still TBD and it might easily be goofy. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...et-ss-sedan-3/ |

Isn't there some rumor the new Mazda 6 will be RWD? But will it have a stick?
