You know we all live an an absolutely PROMOTION SATURATED enviroment and a lot of it is pretty silly 'created for promotion' things like that stupid drifting nonsense (I just watched som Japanese vid at the Asian Supermarket, what a bunch of wanking!!!) or 'monster trucks' and on and on.
We need excitement, and we need _identification_ or affiliation.
Sorry folks, to most guys on the street who I've talked into watching in recent years, most are not jazzed about the modestly driven (at best) Sububishis and Mitsuburus.
Its boring to watch.
And therefore hard to honestly creat excitment about.
Seeing how EVERYBODY LOVED Jardevalls Volvo, and I hear the same about Hursts Moostangst, in the past Mike Whites' Datsun 510, what do we see as the central element in those 2 cars?
RWD?
Well yeah but more importantly VIGOUROUS driving is what makes the folks cheer like Brazillian soccer fans, vigourous driving in a car that those watching IMAGINE they could own and drive.
Promotion of a parade of clone cars which seldom rev more than 3200 rpm like we've seen in the last 4 years is a hard thing to do.
