I know... that's when I really knew it was fake... Miatas are targeted for women lol j/k..

 

That was precisely where I scratched my head and said "hmm...."

I do like the subtle humor in that piece, though. Did you guys pick up on the names he used? Like "Sato Goto, former head of Honda Design Studios"? 'Sad to go to"?

Oh, and Bieg -- English is my second language. But in a situation like this I wouldn't get upset if someone tried to emulate the way I speak. I don't see any malice; I don't think he made fun of how a Japanese might speak but rather used that to strengthen the "credibility" of his piece. We all need to lighten up; the p.c. movement seems to have gone too far...

 

ROTFL

OK, I found humor in the article, but as an American of Japanese ancestry, I've gotta say, those Japanese names are pretty contrived! There is no way you would have a Sato Goto, that's two last names!

 

The only thing the Bmw has is there M motor and thats it

 

I thought this was really funny. The best thing is how the s2k looks like the z4. actually the back of the z4 looks like the s2k, and the rest like the former hyundai tiubron
