I'll try this again on its own thread. Would anyone on here feel that a new prodrive (or other so competent design house) designed road car would fit the bill as the next true supercar for the road? If not why?

Dear Prodrive,
Please don't make us a "pure" sports car. Thats not a real road car in the vain that has made Impreza's sucessful in the first place. Make us the best damn road car the world has ever seen; a real road car that actually improves on the Impreza's public road capacity. Price 100,000 euros.

1. Don't crap up the wheel travel.
2. Do not give us yet more grip!
3. Make the unibody out of a Lotus Elise like super rigid alumiuim tub- with class leading crash worthiness, with an super innovative integrated roll cage designed as part of the A, B and C pillars and roof!
4. Give the car top high speed stability- an easy 150mph cruise.
5. Give us ATD
6. Make it easy to see out of- no need for steeply racked windsheild.
7. Make the car handle and super-stable in the wet- ie use smallish wheels/tires, with relaxed spring rates.
8. Mimic the Lancia Integrales miricle- the currently unttainable act of fusing 4WD with great steering feel- eg take most of the rubber bits out of the chasis.

I think that should do it. Good working at it fellows
