That wagon is flirting with "rice." Like someone else said, it is a thin line between nicely modded and riced. To me rice has more to do with lack of function (slammed to a few mm off the ground, gold trim, those 20" wheels, and the wing off a Cessna). Or say the car has two stickers on it from companies that only make cams (I've seen that!). Even stickers under the hood are iffy to me.

"Rice racer" feels different to me and I'm not ashamed to say I drive a hot import or drive a foreign motorcycle (bratworst racer for my BMW bike?). Since I have some national pride it is okay to somewhat slur imports. If an American manufacturer offered what I thought was equivalent I would have bought it.
