the soon-to-be missus gave me a filthy when i told her one day we will have a porka Carrera S in the garage and a Cayenne turbo in the driveway.....

im still working on that.....

on the other hand, the AM Vantage is a very sexy car and is def. an unique car here in Oz. (not a big fan of those exotic boats.....)

Yup I think you might be right there....not disagreeing at all....

The MPS will kill the 147...but maybe the 147 GTA will give it a run...

I drove them all....Alfa's that is and found them sluggish uninspring and not in the same league as the motors we have at home. We have 4 Alfa's...1 track car....1 rally car....slightly bent chasis...from creek crossing in 3rd... :-( One picnic collectable and 1 daily driver for the WD. The new one's are not a pinch on these ones.....ours have spirit and rust activation issues....they are cars with a heart....won't find that in a MPS3....

I agree thought that Atom is awesome and I want one...spoke with WD about this and his response was why import when I can build you one!! YIPPEE...now all I have to do is patiently wait, and wait and wait!!! LOL

I should have replied to this thread earlier today when I was a little more sober, however; Revolver you sound exactly like you're in the same situation as myself - hence why I started my *whinge* thread. I love this car - I love the way it looks, I love the engine, I love the handling, I love the fact it's not a 4-door yawnbarge like the WRX is, I love the fact I'm not a member of the 4 door sports-car clitoris club (every cu** has one), I love the leather interior... BUT IT NEEDS MORE POWER. Whichever way you look at it, this was supposed to be a "sports" car, and it's pretty insulting to be overtaken by lesser models of the same marque.

I'm due for trade-in in the second half of this year, and if there is no power boost on the horizon I'll be trading it in on something else. What, exactly, I'm not sure...

Finally, someone who gets what I was raving on about! Thank you Capn!

I agree with every syllable of that post and especially the last 5 words.

I want more of the same, only better. Not a frigging hatchback.
