hmm this is an intresting post...as 'redkop' said...'they have no need to be long lasting, as they are continually evolving with new technology and not one minute wonders.'

as this is said, what it the point of buying 1? as if there always evolving you as a buyer will never actulli have the up to date evo, each new model will make the older model lose vale, so u as buyers are loosing money in the car world COSWORTHS are like the never dying legend, jap cars are constantly being updated so the evo which people drive now in 5 years will be worth nothing however a good cosworth will hold its value or even go up in value...thers no doubt about that
