Actually, they would just screw it up- add junk it doesn't need, and turn it
into just another piece of crap designed for what the demographics say is
what people want- a space seed with an x.5 litre "turbo" with this-n-that,
and not a bit of originality or style. Basically, slap some triumph emblems
on an acura, cut the roof off, and there you go. The original Spits and
Triumphs, while a little austere, and very simple, offer something the car
industry has lost- style, grace, and a car requiring driving skill, but
offering real driver satisfaction.
