    Default What would you get if you crossed a MINI and a stretch limo?

    Probably something like this: Infiniti Kuraza concept.

    Weird. Ugly, but definitely weird.

    What makes it a "Sport" wagon? The marketing department, I think.

    You know, the "feds" are all pissed off at all the food manufacturers slapping "Lite" and "Low Fat" on their products. They are even trying to define exactly what those terms mean so they can't be used in a misleading way. Maybe it's time to legislate what "Sport" means if you slap that moniker on a car. Something like
    • - 0-60mph in this many second or less
      - Braking from 60mph - 0 in under so many feet
      - So many lateral G's with stock equipment (including tires)
      - Such and such minimum power-to-weight ratio
    I'm kidding of course... the last thing I want is the gov'ment legislating anything else (they are already way up our collective backsides ). But it is mildly irritating that car manufacturers can take a Minivan (or Pickup, or sub compact) paint it red, put a fancy shift knob on the automatic selector and call it a "Sport" model. :P
