A caricature of a Vespa. No design taste at all.

The compliment of a good design is a poor copy.

The gasoline may be savory, but overall those BMs are stinky.

I may need to point out my humorous point. And this is from a US site, not a Chinese one.

One wrong letter, didn't change the meaning....

Punctuation is important, perhaps more so than spelling. Take capitalization for instance.

"I helped my uncle Jack off his horse," has a completely different meaning when all but the first letter are lowercase.

The 2 Tone Red/White with INVISIBLE trunk.

That would sure put an end to the "looks better without stop box" debate.
