The Versa forum members are getting a bit out of hand. skyl4rk clearly has no disrespect for performance tuners, so why should they be so condescending to ecomodders?

I think the joke is really on the performance tuners. Why pour money into an economy car like a Versa when you could just buy a used WRX and have way more high-speed fun? The Versa makes sense as an ecomodder's car, but not as a tuner's car.
