Is your question; 'If scoobs ceased to exist, what would you have?'
Probably not the Evo, due to servicing and extreme nature. Possibly; Audi S3, Golf 4Motion, or more likely the new Mazda6 MPs when it comes out.

or

If your question is; 'You have fallen on hard times and need some cheap transport, what would you get?' Then a Mondeo.

I'd probably go for an R33/R34 Skyline or a previous generation BMW M5.

would have to be an ariel atom...... the top of the range one... supercharged civic 2ltr type r engine with 300bhp.

2.9 sec to 60

its 0.5 sec slower than the ferrari F60 Enzo on the top gear test track. all for £35,000. second hand ones only going for slightly cheaper.
