They just thought Canadians might actually fall for the added "-S" as somehow meaning more sporty tongue.gif They knew us in the USA wuld not be so easily fooled tongue.gif J/P
I agree with the darkside - Our cars are not sports cars, neither is the ITR. The GT4's [Especially the WRC and GrA], STI's, EVO's etc. are sports cars - back seats mean nothing [Tho it can be an obvious indicator]
