it doesn't appear that was his main reason for getting one. He obviously likes it but if anything we liked was rice then we'd all be screwed. We'd all be driving rides we hate just to avoid being called rice because we like it. If you do it for the looks with no thought of function in mind then yes it is rice. He has obviously done some research on function(regardless whether it is accurate or not). To him he feels he has great function AND gets to have something HE thinks looks better.
