'ragheads' for you would be Punjabis (good luck trying to figure out that nationality Mr. Hick of the Year) and 'towel heads' would be the good old fashioned, original terrorists #1, the Arabs.... note that Arab does not mean someone from any country between Egypt and Pakistan as you stupid hicks seem to think....... Arabs come from Arabia! idiot. As for the car, it's interesting that it would be sold there but how successful do we think it will really be? Aside from the Japanese car in a Chinese market cultural problem, the concept looked interesting but not all that feasible. The triple exhaust is actually my least favourite part of the car........ it seems too extreme somehow. I remember some other concept from a few months back (can't remember which one) and it had exhaust 'ports' we can call them, way up near the tail lights......... it just looked stupid. I want to see what the production version will look like! wow jackassjim, shows what you know about the world’s countries….

The administrations behind these companies are diluted with everyone from Brits to Krauts to Americans, same goes for the designers. They might as well be Pakistani.

It's part of the free trade deal with teh World Trade organization - they get to levy massive duties on anything and everything, and the USA and Japan don't. In some politician's mind that is called free and fari trade. China I beleive has an import duty of up to 200% on imported cars.
