If you want to see the GTD driven by someone who knows how, Max in the GTD begins around the 26 minute mark. Also, the RS200 for history buffs!    

Looks sharp 👍     Except for rear doors extending into wheel wells which I can’t get used to.

Interesting you brought up Chevy Cruze because I happen to see that Chevy introduced the Chinese Monza in Middle East as the Cruze.  Looks somewhat similar to discontinued Cruze from years ago but reportedly different.  Anyway, the point is GM hasn’t given up completely on this size of affordable cars.  Looks good to me from limited pictures, and I especially like the blue color.     https://carbuzz.com/the-chevrolet-cruze-returns-just-not-in-america/  

I don't know if many people would consider the puma an icon, and this is clearly AI, but I'd like it if the puma went in this sort of direction for the next gen, sportier, leaner, and less bulbous. The current puma design is solid, and it's been so well received, this would probably build on that momentum. If it looked like this and came to the US, Ford would have a hit on their hands. 

So many interesting cars in this collection. As great as the Ford GTS and mustangs are, I'm really drawn to that interceptor concept, and that airstream concept as well. That interceptor design has aged really gracefully imo, and something like that van concept is something I'd like to see make a comeback as a high style lifestyle van, with some tweaks, it would be great for the van life crowd. 

That 1938 Ambulance is from a town that I live near...wonder how they winded up with it. 

Well technically a Mid engine vehicle is nothing more then car with an engine in front of its transmission or rear axle, so basically you could make the argument of just swapping the front with the rear subframes, but I don't think it is that easy 😛 

That wasn’t a mass produced platform it was a one off bespoke vehicle which they then modified for the GR1 which was also a one off concept car.  

You are making an observation. I'm giving you the inference.

Sweet lookin' beast for sure.....not sure how well it would have sold in a 4 door dominated sales landscape.
