I predict a piano being dropped on one - oh wait - they did that to a Triumph already!


All I can say is

I suspect they'll come up with something more unique than a piano to drop on one. Or possibly something involving explosives. Maybe both.

They did a pretty good job with those commercials, but I cannot wait for the top gear response.

I suspect that they have done the commercials because Topgear didnt give them a good wrap on some other test. Its still just Korean C##p !!
