I cant quite make out if your saying that only performance cruisers can have CF and not look tacky or that due to various members of the community, CF has been made to look cheap because of the Jap import scene and therefore shouldnt be on any car?
Whats wrong with Jap cars having CF on to btw?

I used to own a Clio 172 Sport (Y703 DTV - are you still alive?) and I decided to strip out the interior (rear seats, passenger seat, spare wheel and toolkit) and could not believe how much better it was to drive.
The rear end was a lot more lively and backing off the throttle mid-corner produced a delicious slide that could be simply brought back into line by planting the throttle and 'dragging' the car straight again.
Ahhhh they were the days

Why do renault insist on fitting the worst steering wheels in the world? Everything about that car sounds amazing then you see the picture of the dash and all dreams of my own touring car go out the window. Like every hot renault it all seems great then you realise oh no I'm going to have to sit in a renault.

Might just be me, but the steering wheel is hardly a deal-breaker on a car like this.zebra said:
In a front wheel drive car, how does backing off the throttle give you tail end drift?

It's called lift-off oversteer. Zebra
Basically you go into a fast corner with all the weight onto one of the front wheels and then back off the throttle sharply. This causes the weight to shift and the back of the car becomes very light and slews round. You can then correct the slide by going back onto the throttle and 'dragging' the car straight again.
Hope that explains it.

But most of the negative comments on PH about japanese cars are, I believe, from drivers of German cars who feel that their god-given place at the top of the performance-road-car tree is under threat.
There's nothing to support any assertion that carbon panels are a true indicator of a chav driver, but in PH-land that's irrelevant in the face of a good old lazy stereotype.
Incidentally if you hit the "quote" button on the top left of this post, you will see how to format quotes. HTH.
