I don't agree. Maybe it needed to be re-classed, but the ACR was a
legitimate factory-built standard model car. It was widely available at
dealerships across the country. It was not rare or expensive.
I think all the manufacturers should have had the incentive to build such
cars, and make them available to the general public, just the way the ACR
was indeed available to the general public. The "Trunk kit" was a bad idea.
Tell the makers to build better cars!
I want to see more enthusiast-oriented cars. And I don't mean
limited-edition megabucks cars.
