Stile Bertone Mantide - Find the Hidden Corvette
Stile Bertone Mantide - Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Underpinnings - Automobile Magazine
Italian design house Bertone fashions a wild sports car concept from a Corvette ZR1.

As legions of recent divorcés have shown, there's no better way to put your troubles behind you than with a new sports car. Such is the hope at Stile Bertone, the storied Italian design house that has suffered some recent unpleasantness, including legal wrangles within the Bertone family and a split from the company's financially insolvent manufacturing arm.

2009 Dodge Caliber SRT4 - Dodge Sport Hatchback Review - Automobile Magazine
The truth is, cars like this are about to disappear, so this may be your last opportunity to scratch your itch for crude.

I just can't get past the price of this car. There's a decent amount of power, but it's going to the wrong wheels, and the result is tons of violent torque steer. The pedals aren't positioned for heel-and-toe shifting, and the turbo lag is very noticeable. Other cars in the segment (VW GTI and Honda Civic Si) are much more fun to drive and offer better value for your money. Bottom line: the competition in this segment is very strong, and the Caliber just doesn't cut it.
