SCC states in their December mag that the 1g DSM's are now definately old school despite their technological characteristics (i.e. AWD, turbocharged, fuel injected, 200 bhp 4 cylinder, DOHC 16 valve, 4 wheel disc brakes, engine management, yada yada yada). Would you agree?
The differences between import old school, domestic old school, applying the term old school simply based on vehicle age or the temperment of the average enthusiast can lead to entirely different outcomes in definition and SCC may have intended their assertion to be applied to either description. Discuss. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

In a way, I'd have to say they are becoming more old school, but maybe not completely yet. Think about it... how hard is it to find one in really good shape that hasn't been modified and beat to death, or is beginning to rust out. Take into accout also the styling changes in the last 15 years...
I don't know... guess it's more of a personal opinion than anything. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....
