Actually, they have the same power as before. Apparently, MB USA forgot to do the conversion from metric to Imperial.

I've been told that Germans don't like to hear non-Germans use the word "jawohl", it reminds them of... you know... that time in history with the guy with the funny moustache, and in the immortal words of Basil Fawlty, "Don't mention the war".

@loquaciousmusic: "Moonlight Shadow" certainly wasn't one.

@stoke has a JDM banana: ...or a former racing car reconditioned for road use. I know of a case where about 20 ex-cup Honda Civic 1.6 hatchbacks were sold by the brand as used service cars.

Big deal. I once jumped a Suzuki Liana 1.3. Try jumping a 90hp no-torque jumped-the-shark-on-original-release high-ceiling Japanese crapbox and we'll talk.

Did 4chan create a meme for it? I need to check Encyclopedia Dramatica for a complete lulz rundown. (the forum is tl;dr)

Jesus Christ, it's two lions! Get in the car!

@Grambo: We had one of those in the Portuguese Rally Championship in the 70s. We called it "The Green Bomb".

If this was in Soviet Russia, Mac store would crash into your Zaporozhets

What I really wanna know is if he's gonna install the Simca engine in the RX-7.

@screamingbluemessiah: No, it says the dealers can buy themselves out. That's even worse, who are they going to distribute? Mahindra? Chery? Brilliance? Proton?

Jesus Christ, it's a polar bear, get on the bus.

@Mad_Science: I want to see the two Stigs fight to the death for the title of the One True Stig. Two Stigs enter, one Stig leaves.

What a strange way to introduce the Toyota Avensis in North America.

FIA GT3? Those aerodynamics are too dodgy (no pun intended) for FIA GT1. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing one of these on track. Maybe in the Andros Trophy (ice racing in France, where Kia Rio is THE BEST) or the Dutch Supercar Challenge (where they allow anything with four wheels to race).

Needs a few more European market-specific cars, like the Renault 14, Alfa Romeo 75, Austin Ambassador or Lancia Kappa. And what about the Suzuki X-90?

Why do Americans call slalom autocross? Autocross to me is something where Audi-powered French-built prototypes are driven by Czech drivers in a dirt road course.

The nameless teen fails at failing

The Prius doesn't look that different, apart from the frontend, but ultimately this is what really matters. I think a car's "face" can make or break a car, and this Prius doesn't look like it's going to be broken, from a purely aesthetic perspective.
