on the SAIC website when they started knocking out the LE 500, its a joke. A stain on the face of the motor trade. I feel quite passionatly about the whole situation. Their just masda copies. I wish the indians had bought it instead, just look at jaguar, think of what could've been, Their attempts are just shocking! But then again im bias as i hate china! I won't comment any more on the subject as i'll say something that could land me in court lol

So far so good.

I enjoyed it too. Thought Matt LeBlanc was dull as dishwater though! Frickin yanks, how are they up near the top of the leaderboard, that cant happen, the topgear test track has corners!  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I wonder how many of the items you bought for your home are "made in China". Yet you still bought them.

So why not a car?
