Hmm.. I can't really see any double entendre in that image, please clarify.

Hmm..ethnic diversity! Where will it end? ;)

Why should they partner with 'exclusively Japanese car makers'?

I agree. It is a bit of a stretch when you think about all the factors limiting people from owning the final product. If it were a remote control car, it might be more feasible to imagine people buying it.

The mushroom kingdom is already a pretty strange place, can the existence of a car marque make much difference?

Would it better if the badge was a VW, Audi, Koenigsegg or AM General (HumVee)?

Yea, or a VW Beetle would be cool.

Thanks for highlighting this Brian.
