Somehow there's something really wrong about this publicity from Motor Trend. What are they trying to prove or get to exactly?

You'd have to be pretty small-minded to plainly go out and compare a fricckin Focus to a Lamborghini. Yet, this is what they do. So they must be assuming there are people dumb enough to buy into that. But I don't know that there are too many people dumb enough to do this, with the financial capacity to shell out a minimum of 65 gran for the projects.

Small minded people usually don't have money. Because.. they're small minded. So what is MT doing exactly?

I think the point is that it's a sleeper. How fun would it be to pull up next to a Lamorghini and totally blow it away? I'd love to see the look on the driver's face

Its not that hard to blow away a lamborghini in a straight line. There are plenty of civics that can do it.

I still think the 360 Modeno (especially as driven in that video that was just posted) is the car of all cars ... bar none.

Yeah you're right... A lambo has no chance on the quarter mile against a civic on a snowy December day in Montreal
