Coincidental laugh: comic strip beside the first 2014 Mirage newspaper review

Saw the first print review of the new Mirage today (multiple reviews from Canada and the U.S. are just starting to come out).

And I got a chuckle at the highly appropriate comic strip on the page right next to the review:



Mitsu's marketing department should pick that up as their tag line!

I also laughed at the 2nd headline of that Mirage review. What the heck is a "bubbly" engine??

This is a bubbly engine:

Every comment but mine?

I saw a picture of a guy with rims so big he needed to lift his car--driving through a flooded area!

He would have been better off with a normal car and a boat...
