Which EVO IX though? talk about just throwing a comment around.
For this to work it has to be priced very keenly. Do you think the 4wd might tempt people that desperately wanted a 4wd Focus RS?
If it does get released I hope it isnt watered right down to please the everyday joe public mong drivers out there.

4wd was a life saver last winter, and with 400bhp it would be helpful

Awesome lets have 400bhp through the Front wheels only then, fucking ace idea
I think all these anti AWD people have never owned a high powered AWD car and appreciated the ability to put the power down in nearly all weather conditions. Similarly I am guessing they have never had high powered FWD cars and lived with the everyday frustrations. I have had plenty of examples of both and never going back to FWD as a main car again, although I do need to man up at somepoint and try something with 300bhp+ through the rear wheels.

lol yes he does but he has also mentioned the drawbacks too. Although his car is a pupose built arse raping device.
If I were to buy something factory with 400bhp I`d want it to be capable of putting all its power down 12 months of the year and not just on track or in the summer or its pointless imo.

Looks kinda like a cross between an Astra VXR and a Mazda 3 MPS.

pmsl at the hyundai coupe review on same site
"A rubbishy old bag of nails that has got away with it for far too long because the rest of the range used to be so crap. Due for replacement soon, let’s hope Hyundai pulls its finger out for the next one."
