Another example of what can be done with MQB: a targa top clone of the Juke using the 2.0T engine and Halex AWD.

If VW built this, they'd price it at some ridiculous figure, $35k or something, as they tend to do with anything "convertible" that they bring to market. Then it would flop.

WTF is "T-ROC" supposed to mean -- "Turbo-Race of Champions"?!?

Jalop1991 so, the same management team that came up with the CR-Z assigned themselves to this project. Got it.
MaintenanceCosts Nobody would be upset about this at all if Honda had branded it "Civic Coupe." But it wouldn't have as much buzz either. My guess is that the Prelude branding will drive an initial shot of sales but in the long term the Civic Coupe name would have been the better choice.Also: I'm expecting that the usual testers with their usual methods will get a roughly 6.5s 0-60 out of this car. There's just no way that 200 hp + roughly 3200 lbs. gets you a 9s 0-60.
Oberkanone Sunroof on every previous Prelude. Until now.
