The author of this car review expresses strong advocacy for the metric
system in the body of his review, but then goes on to use the dreaded "kph"
and mostly Customary specs for the vehicle.  He does express strong support
for liters per 100 kilometers as a fuel economy measure.

 

I have sent a note thanking him for the metric support, pointing out that
"km/h" is the correct symbol, not "kph," and suggesting one way to show
metric support is to use metric specs or at least dual units for all specs
in his reviews.
