Eh?

In what way is an Atom a Formula car or go-kart.

An Atom is a go kart? Does that make the Nomad a jeep?

You've asked for variations on the 2 seater high performance car genre. You are being provided with answers, but you criticise each one.

Pointless thread is pointless.

No more than this is a hatchback... in both cases, there's nothing back there but engine and a small amount of luggage space:

OK. Let's not go there. I think you know the Esprit is not a hatchback but a liftback-fastback. If I'm going to have to explain the difference between a Spider, a Roadster etc and people just want to call them all convertibles, then a thread about car design can't work.

I think your first analysis was correct.

Does this please you?
I think we were always in agreement. If you want to be very specific I should have said rear-middle-engined. Reason I rectified it. wink

The fact that he referred to a Renault Clio V6 as 'the blue one' tells you everything you need to know.

If our hero is older than 14, I'll eat the tailgate on my lfttback-fastback.

I have the impression people are seeing the thread as some sort of challenge. Do people get their egos hurt when something they post is seen as not it?

This is a research type of thread. Just want to see if I'm overlooking any designs out there. If what you post already fits one of the categories or if it's not considerable, nobody loses or win. There is no winning or losing. It's just all considerations. Why some people get so personal about it as if they stand to win something?

Hmm, somehow I looked at the picture and saw it differently. I think I thought of the Delta or any of the other Lancias which use the same headlights. You are right. Not Mustang. It fits the Ferrari-like category. If it had pop-up headlights it would look like a Ferrari, the lowered road version, not rally version.

I'm actually 39, thank you.

I referred to it as the blue one as making a point. Basically I was being dismissive because what you posted made no sense. You're trying to make a point of the R5 not being a hatchback by posting a picture of, well, another hatchback.

In that case I'd chuck the Noble in that category...

And I'm now even more confused


I don't understand the rules, but can I nominate a Lotus Carlton as they're fast and I really like them? Thank you
