Ah, if only they made . . .

4 door Wrangler w/ locking HD axles.

. . . wait a minute.






Oh, and a Mazdaspeed MX-5


Preferably one that returned better milage than a Corvette with an engine 3 times as big and hauling around 800 lb. extra mass. I mean, really. I think the 'Vettes are really underated for the power/performance you get considering the surprisingly good fuel economy.

Agree. Dump the stupid hybrid, subtract weight.

And keep the interior the same as what's depicted in the concept photos.

Honda also has this thing. Looks like crap but the idea and concept seem good as it is not a hybrid and tuned more towards sport.
