Actually, it is American. Mexican to be exact. They eat a lot of rice there so there's no problem with the term.

Why would anybody do this?
Is he trying to slow down the car?
Maybe he had some leftover parts from a RWD build and decided to bolt all of it onto the Celica????

Ive seen a CRX like this before, but it had a small block and was converted to RWD

The Celica almost looks like an American car... The only thing missing is the rust.

Problem is, the New Beetle was designed by a design studio in Los Angeles and exclusively produced in Puebla, Mexico. It's as German as a burrito.

However, you might like to peruse 278 _pages_ of VWs riced, diced, and sliced:

Why are there so many cars like this in P.R.? It seems like they have a different kind of rice - cheap, tacky, chrome everywhere, and completely overdone.
