It would be nice to see that V8 make it's way into more of their products.  I'll wait until they can make a good handling car before I really get excited.

Sounds good and what many have been saying for a long time. Now lets see an actual car on a track or involved in a major league racing series before we gush with excitement.

We'll see...  Perhaps it will be like Lexus, where F really means "go really fast" and F-sport means "looks like the cars we sell that go really fast."

See perfect example below...

IMHO in the day of turbos turbos turbos all these N, Sline, MSport, RDesign, AMG Sport blah blah should come with amped up software.
You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!
