Another tourney YESSSSS.

btw, do you have a particular scoring system? Some of us are quite curious as to how the data applies, where possible, and how the non-objective areas might be assessed as part of the whole.

Usability should also take into account "Utility" That would entail groceries, luggage, everyday things.

So, RWD is discrimination? What exactly am I discriminating...? :roll:

AWD and FWD ofcourse

I like the fact it is RWD only, cant have everything in a car. Just make a really nice RWD sport compact and you should be fine
