In the rear end photo, yes vaguely similar. However in the flesh not at all really.
Still a FWD POS.

A Camaro........if you have ever driven an F body Camaro you would know was POS they are. Sorry I like driving cars as well as looking at them. The dynamics of this era US cars were really terrible.
The Cordia is not a bad car for what it is. With the boost tuned up the torque steer is really bad. The Cordia Turbo was a performance bargin when it was released.
Sorry I just don't like "performance FWD cars", they might look ok and they might be quick in a straight line but try driving them hard around a circuit, not much fun. (Except maybe the previous model Honda Integra R)
However LxS there is some interest around the Dodge Daytona from a technical point of view it was one of the few (only?) cars to introduce a VNT (variable geometry turbo) on a production car (1990 model).

I dont recall saying this was a performance car or a bullet, as with the camaro...
I just think it's a nice looking car..
Engines and drivelines and be changed, but if the car looks like a bucket to start with you got nothing -
I was bored last night and just thought i'd post it up..

That looks Sweet,
How cool is the rear glass hatch and side windows behind the door!
It's weird that such a "nosey" shape is fwd, I reckon the staz was a major influence on that design heheheh
Thats not to say that the staz's was very japanese in the first place :D
Fwd's can be fun, beating someone in fwd is almost as good as beating someone in a staz heheheh(oh damn, i'm gonna get it
) it just accomodates a diferent driving style. It's all good as long as your happy.
Fwd do suck on the track though but around the twistys on the mountain passes it can be hella fun (just watch best motoring)
