They just thought Canadians might actually fall for the added "-S" as somehow meaning more sporty  They knew us in the USA wuld not be so easily fooled J/PI agree with the darkside - Our cars are not sports cars, neither is the ITR. The GT4's [Especially the WRC and GrA], STI's, EVO's etc. are sports cars - back seats mean nothing [Tho it can be an obvious indicator] --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
