Apparently, adding 22s and an aero kit qualifies you as a show car.



At first glance, this looks like engine-turned bare metal with graphics and clear coat. Walk closer, and it's just wrapped like a bus, with printed vinyl sheet that's starting to peel.

Apparently the guy doesn't understand putting a car together to showcase your product line. I guess a Kenny might need some 7 second vinyl now, haha!

For the record those are 20"s not 22"s...trust me 22"s dont fit a YAris...if they did you'd see them on there!

aero kit by Kaminari thanks Andy!

Plus...they forgot to mention the Rockford Fosgate system in the trunk! Cant be a true show car if it doesn't BUMP!

To me seems like a guy who used to be into cars, something went sour and now he just finds any little thing and blows it out of proportion..

"This one car has a small little ding on the fender, i couldnt believe that they would bring such a piece of crap if they couldnt even get the body fixed properly!"
-I could see him saying something like this..

It's a race car, not a show car. They always get a little wear and tear. When I was in Etown still looked good as always.

I wonder if they would do something if enough readers sent in hate emails to them?

What I find truly funny about articles like this, is that 99 times out of 100, the writer has never ever even touched a wrench to a car. So I don't understand what qualifies them as experts. Sure, there's a few in that list that I don't like, but most of them have some serious work into them.

IMO I agree with the author on most of them. The sprinter and Kennys car are the only 2 that I like. Was he the only person to make this list or was it a survey type of deal?
