Let's look at the originally proposed DS class (current class in parens):
Acura - Integra Type R (GS) 195+ hp, diff, double wishbones
Audi - TT (AS/GS) and S4 (AS), 180+ hp and/or AWD
BMW - M3 and other 3-series (AS/GS), 180+ hp, rwd, real suspensions, etc
Neon ACR - (DS) 132/150 hp, open diff, strut suspension
Mitshbushi/DSM - Eclipse/Talon (GS), 195+ hp, and/or awd
Suburu - WRX, 224hp, awd (AS?)
Toyota - Celica GTS (GS), 180hp, diff?
How fair is this lineup?? Not very. That is why I agree with moving
the Neon to GS.
