Yup, I saw it too over the weekend and started laughing at the end. Love the part when one of the drivers floors it and says “did you hear that?”. In a normal world, he would say did you FEEL that, and not did HEAR that. Since when does hearing has anything to do with improved acceleration?

ok, but is it fast, or at least quick?!?!?!?!

I had the "pleasure" of driving a '96 hatch for a year and hated it. It was down right boring to drive. The car had absolutely no character at all. The only thing more boring is a Toyota Tercel. Heck I had 10X more fun driving an '82 Renault 5 than the Civic.
