Another reason to hate USDM

Look at what you can buy from the factory and pick up at the dealership in the Phillipines. Yes, a Group N Base car. USA sucks FML.

Haha, just like car stuff. Everybody wants what is not readily available around them. Japanese like American cars, we love JDm stuff, so Filipino's don't want Rota's.
