The "New Kia No 3 concept car stars at Geneva Show" article reported by 
Motor Matters in the March 6 issue of The Washington Times uses all metric.  
Great! 
    Following are a few examples to show differences taken from the article
            The article uses a mixture of kph and km/h and there is 
                    a difference in spelling litre and liter.
    The next step is to get the SI used consistently, including spelling.
    It would be best if the  SI compliant km/h was used for kilometers per hour
