More hot hatches!

'Murica needs more hot hatches.

Like seriously.

This one is the most frustrating.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > ly2v8-Brian 08/24/2014 at 23:48

Because we were so close and then the company that was gonna get it was killed?

No GM hot hatches?...

Oh. That's right. Nevermind.

Ze two Opel OPCs.

Yes, and because it is the best looking hot hatch. AND because they haven't made a Cruze SS.

It is really fucking attractive.

They just need to shove the 2.0T in the Cruze and we're all good.

...don't count because 'murica is the only country that exists on earth and we didn't get them.

Seems that you like understeer. You missed the only two recent hot hatches with a real drive train.

WRX STi

M135i

Golf R is based on FWD.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? >  V8 Rustler 08/25/2014 at 00:21

So what you're saying is FWD isn't a real drivetrain and 95% of hot hatches are built wrong.

Okay.

Yes.

How stereotypical car enthusiast of you.

You forgot the most boring one!!!

MiTo?

I have no fucking clue what that is.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde. Basically Alfa's Golf GTI. Not the best hot hatch you can buy, but quite possibly the most boring prettiest.

I don't even know if I'd give it prettiest.

It's close enough. I mean, there's the VW Scirocco R, whatever that Vauxhall is, and this.

PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 08/25/2014 at 01:06

you missed the deceased MS3, and the last gen STi hatch.
Also, there's still hope for you! a VAG product was first before a GM product!

Also, do yourself a favor and google Seat Ibiza Cupra/Seat Leon Cupra/VW Polo GTI. You will not be dissapointed

I will never stop fanboying over VXR/OPC editions. (Dat understeer tho)

I love that.

I'm pretty sure the same thing happened when they tested the Astra... and the Corsa... and the Corsa Nurburgring... but WHATEVER, get them in a straight line and they dominate

I think the "new" Astra OPC has a fancy LSD to aid that.

The Insignia does too I think.

Yeah, thankfully they revised them following the facelift. I think the Corsa is still a bit of a rabid puppy but oh well, it's fun! That Vectra VXR is like 'lol nope, seeya'

The whole 'FWD is Wrong Wheel Drive' trope is so old it's starting to turn to dust

Happy now?

Admittedly stock power is low, but a $200 tune fixes that. Handling is there.

Especially when SO MANY cars are FWD.

Quantity =/= quality.

That being said, there are a crapton of great FWD cars available now.

Close, but not quite hot enough. Needs a 200+ HP SS version.

Would be nice. Should be getting a refresh soon, who knows what's in store
