I think you have been to the same diplomacy school as Bruce and John H

Words could be expressed a bit more friendly.

Anyway, all decent drivers know the supercharged is much better than the na - FACT!!!

Atom 300 Supercharged sounds sooo much better at Starbucks than an Atom 245 ..

really, it makes that much difference.....Do people think 245's are the poor mans toy......lacking that oomph??.

I've really gotta try this 300 thingy. I've honestly no idea what to expect given I bought a 245 without even seeing one. The 300 guys seem committed to the cause , 245 guys like myself are as passionate about the roar etc. Am i really missing out on that X factor thing.... ???is a 245 less of an experience......why does Tom drive a 245????? Not sure....passion, soul,.....essence of Atom etc

In front of Starbucks, to a certain crowd ( car + coffee shows crowds ? ), showing up in a 245 hp atom would be like saying I can't afford the extra $7000 for a supercharger to make 300 hp.

Not saying that is the right approach, just saying that to many people the badge matters most.  Same reason why you see old ladies driving to the supermarket at speed limit in 388 hp ML500 V8s. 

I personally am in the camp of spending money to learn to drive before spending money on the car itself.  The nut behind the wheel is the best upgrade you can do to any car.  I am actually delaying my Atom ownership 2 years to do more trackdays / AX / driver school in my Boxster before I jump off the deep end which any Atom would kinda be.  Even then I would start with a 245 as a platform and upgrade as needed as I get better and better.

So who bought it? Now sold on PH - was going to be my car until I was talked out of it...

So is it a good'un?
