I thought only Canada had them this early! I must see one in person. I'm
pretty sure I want one, but just want to see (and of course drive) one to
solidify that.
My opinion is that the car will go to AS. I think it will be competitive
there, but hopelessly outclassed in SS. Of course a number of the members
of the SCAC are AS drivers..... ;-)
