Neat!
The moon bit wasa bit cheesy when referring to the SAT-NAV
How did the Soarer get badged as a Lexus in Japan?

Haven't seen that one, neat. Not an SC though in any way honestly other than some cosmetics. That one is an Active Soarer and it's just a whole new car. Worth of posting though since it's a neat review.

Active Soarer makes the Sc look like a scrap heap. Wonder what he'd have thought of the Soarer GT. That's a lot more SC like.... with boost.

I just started to learn about the Active Soarers, I don't understand why they didn't make that option available for the SC.
