The V has artificial weighted steering that doesn't compare. It can grip in the corners but you always know you're piloting a giant and not a gymnast.
I think that's a really good summation of the car's driving feeling - on paper it can produce some really spectacular numbers, especially in comparison to the Z, but it does without feeling completely natural, if that makes sense. Perhaps the same analogy can be said of going from any small car to a bigger one, though; for example, going from my friend's S2000 or my Civic into the Z, and the Z feels much bigger.

Also congrats on the V-Wagon; it is indeed a pretty rare (and pretty) sight!

So - basically 2x the price. and NOT 2X the car.

Why isn't it 2x the car?
