@domino: exactly ! i might be anal about this stuff, and i'd rather have someone who's anal too to share my views.

food is not allowed in my car unless in closed containers.

the only negative remark i got: hoodscoop ?! really ? WHY ?! the nice thing about the MS3 was that it was VERY similar to the normal Mazda3, under the radar, a sleeper.. not THIS :'(

@boosted-lego-wagon: e-brake is only for hair pins.. a finnish flick is the real understeer killer :P

@Ash78: i don't think any version (if there are indeed different versions) os the RS was AWD.. there was speculation that the new RS would have AWD though.

@racerx: no i don't mean powered rear wheels.

@Ash78: agreed 100%

@racerx: same here. but with the RevoKnuckle Suspension, and a LSD, i dunno if an AWD will be just more weight with no handling enhancement

let's hope it out by later this year, so i can get is used next february :P

@joneez is riding his Bandit in sunny California: i second that

is this Geppetto's petrol head cousin ?

@joshman: well last year 4 frenchmen were killed, this year there was no threat, and no incidents.

@DoctorNine: sadly the race organizers don't agree with you, they canceled last year's race due to a terror threat, even though there were Touareg 2 trucks in the race

@Ash78: We should again urge the gawker network to add an edir/delete button

@Ash78: das ist sehr unhoflich.

It would've been nice if the Touareg 2 won on Touareg land though :(

WHAT ? first time Paris-Dakar Rally starts somewhere other than Western Europe, and ends somewhere other than Africa ! strange !

@cgarison: it's after the last word of the Jalopnik article.

@Van Sarockin: this is an "additional option"

@tonyola: better yet, the 10000$ weight enhancement option, which removes your 8000$ floor mats
