    Not nearly enough duct tape, then!

    Make it look like a basketball, maybe add some popsicle sticks for reinforcement.

    We had a Harbor Freight open up in town, so I went to check it out and pick up some brake cleaner......... Man, I thought Wal-mart had all the strange people! Harbor Freight brings out a whole new breed of odd ducks.

    Agreed. It sounds terrible. Like it has a really bad cold.

    What a cluster F! That was the most unceremonious unveiling I've ever seen. Sounds like crap, too.

    Yeah, really disappointing sound. So weak! I think Mercedes should send one of their AMG engineers over to BMW and get rid of their sophisticated but dumb exhaust system and the stupid active sound system as well.

    Yeah, the folks who did the AMG GT and the F-type should have been consulted. Or the Alfa 8C. Or the E39 M5. Or the E60 M5. Or the Corvette. Or the CTS-V. Need I go on? That is the worst sounding exhaust note I've heard in a long time.

    Something is wrong (on purpose?) with that car in that vid, likely to disguise what the real note will be. No way it will be released to marked like that.

    I tried to do a search, but found nothing, I'm wondering if there is any difference in Euro spec facelift headlights vs. U.S. spec(besides clear corners obviously) I assume everything is the same/plug and play but figured I should check before buying.

    No difference. Pre-facelift and post-facelift are different.

    If they are from a right hand side backwards driving country, then you will be blinding others over here on the left lane, as the cut off will be working great for pedestrians on the sidewalks.
