Obviously they are building this as a pure performer, but just to call the dude out on the design he was obviously inspired my my favorite car that DIDNT get made, the Toyota RSC:

If someone would build that design on a performance chassis I think I actually WOULD give a nut for it.

Damnit. I searched for the URL, but nothing came up. Thanks for digging that up.

Yeah, it is pretty obvious that they cherry-picked the features from a number of vehicles out there --both production and drawing-board. If you poke around on the designer's page, he looked at a lot of BMW hardware, too. On the other hand, in the thread that Knivx mentioned, they called it a 70s AMC Eagle with fewer driven wheels and a nice paint job.

Yeah, that's sadly true, I guess. But it just seems that there aren't many vehicles you can actually buy that manage to both have unique looks and a bad-*** attitude[1]. Those were the things that appealed to me, first with the GC6 Impreza and later with the VX. Since then, the population of Subarus exploded in Colorado, and it has lost its uniqueness. There are quite a few VX in Colorado, but I can probably count them all on one hand.

So I'm not dropping money on the Rally Fighter... but I'd still love to have one.

[1] Take the Aztek...please. It was different. But not bad-***.
