I want to see things that are real world applicable, i.e. handling, power, fun to drive, talk about how you can't fee the 4,000+ pounds, how it's an executive sedan all your friends will envy, how it's 2 cars in one, etc. etc.
As I mentioned in the other thread, practicing drifting teaches car control skills, applicable in the real world.

For sure the stunt is for marketing but when every single car commercial shows them drifting (think Camry, Nissan Rogue, etc) this is not out of place today at all.
