The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Churchill.
After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner. Some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose an Italian ship. “There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship,” said Churchill. “First their cuisine is unsurpassed." "Second their service is superb." "And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first.”

Shouldn't this be in the FAIL thread?? The 931 did 0-60 in 9.1 seconds - my PRIUS did it in 10.0 (granted, that makes the 931 actually faster than a Prius, but not by much).

For what it is worth, I believe the original 924 had the lowest drag coefficient of any production car at that time.
