Why?
TD were building the Civics as back up, if a deal with a company (believed to be from South Korea) does not come off.
However I think they are now to use the Civics

Of all those, only Chevy/Daewoo have an existing S2000 car, but recently the auto press have talked about a Kia Cee'd S2000 car (or S2000D...)
None of the rest have anything useable really
I assume the rumored Korean automaker deal is for '08 cause it's obviously too late to design/build/race a car now?Quote:

How can they be ready for the first race? Either they plan to race later in the season or the cars are already under partial construction?Quote:

That's the point, they can't - that's why they were/are building Civics as a back-up plan, which now appears to be the car they will actually be using.Quote:
