Yes, my manual is the European version. What with the country changes between F and C, km and mph... whatever happened to the one world vision!

Agree, USA should have went metric in the late 70's. Hard enough explaining Troy ounce versus regular ounce....

I remember going to elementary school in the late 70's and the school system was trying metric out. Confused the crap out of alot of 6th graders.

Hi everyone!!!! Its to much difference between both of this car.I didn't know S mode had a different map for the engine so you could say we are already factory chipped. Gonna drive it more in S to get a feel for it but it does feel a tad bit quicker but its hard to judge as the ride is just so smooth at the number u mentioned.
