When and why did they become necessary? I guess the GRM answer is so you know where to trim the fender for bigger wheel and tire clearance...

Thin sheet metal bends and dents easy - it's a structural shape done for strength purposes. What's crazy is cars these days are using lighter gauge sheet metal but still getting heavier and heavier...

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Seems a bit too rice for me.

Why would it cost C7 money? If Scion built it (just the targa part), it would probably wouldn't be as expensive as a convertible.

Cause that car was custom built.

If this sort of car made it into production, I'd be first in line at the bank to rob it.

Anyone who thinks Toyota or Subaru would build that thing needs to lay of SOMETHING...cause I see a better chance of a factory LSx option for the Twins.

I just want to add, that anyone that thinks these cars don't have enough power, well, they haven't driven one.

They are awesome little cars.
