Was supposed to happen and was approved in 1975 by Congress. I remember when it happened.

In Canada, the Pontiac version of the Shove-It was called an Acadian.

It did for soda tho.....

Not here. It still comes in 12 oz cans. Just because they show the rounded up ml equivalent, doesn't mean they changed anything.

Yeah, 12oz cans

You want a bottle?
That's a 2 liter.

Just like our cars.
I have a 3.3 liter engine but tires are inflated in pounds per square inch. Lol

Didn't know they still sold those large bottles. It always went flat before I could drink them, so they don't exist in my world.

, congress did pass the law, that is what I was referring to. The auto industry did convert over to the metric system. There are very few parts that are still designed using the SAE/imperial method. To work on a car you need metric tools. (Aside from some rare parts). I believe if you have a Japanese or European car, it’s 100% metric

The very first car ever designed under the metric system for general motors was the Chevrolet Chevette.
there are lots of products that are designed using the metric system. Most of the medical industry uses that metric system

Oh sure, for individual servings I guess. They changed from 64 oz glass bottles to 2L plastic bottles.

OK....take a stab at this one:

LeX2K

Volkswagen Quantum of Solace. Was that basically an Audi 5000?

Margate330

It does kinda look like an Audi to me.
I totally forgot about this car

Same platform, I believe.
