I realize a 181 is even more aerodynamically impaired than my 1302 was, but I just want to toss out this reminder: I am going to be more interested in day-to-day driving (highways, cornering, braking -- you know, the German Look attributes) than off-roading.

Since it is a Thing discussion and it won't be slammed for slamming sake, I didn't want to ignore the off-road component.

Although I am only theorizing and investigating feasibilities, I was just playing around with the idea of a low first and a second-thru-fifth being equivalent to a driveable first-thru-fourth. Whatever the outcome, I do indeed want to go down the interstate effortlessly with traffic (and by traffic, if necessary) as I did in my 1302 days.
