190 horse power, wtf, Im pretty sure my moms old ford tauras station wagon got about 215. Under a ton or not, there are better buys.

Oy, you're completely missing the point of the car. It's built for handling, and still gets a sub 5 second 0-60 time. It'll give most cars out there a whipping and the few cars that outgun it won't be far ahead. (Unless you're comparing top speeds.)

No, I get the point of the car, you can drive somewhat fast around a track, and not have the tires spin out. Whoppdee do, I still have to put my gas in a plastic tub in the trunk.

What does the gas tank placement have to do with anything? It's not a matter of being "somewhat" fast around a track, it's a matter of being ridiculously fast around a track. (Motor Trend posted 1.0g on the 200' skidpad.) Not to mention the car still gets in excess of 30mpg.
