[s-cars] The Audi as a Fiat

[Taka Mizutani]

Craig-
Now realistically, there's pretty much no way that GM will just disappear.
Just because they have
some big problems, it's not the same as Mitsubishi, which really was
seriously going to pull out of
the US market and would end up being a small-time car manufacturer like
Daihatsu.

I think it's funny that you and others think that the GT3RS wing is fine,
but the Evo's and the STi's
are not?!?
