Added DiffLines:

* CoolCar: Downplayed with all of the cars that are used by the Templars. Sure, they have plenty of methods to cause death and destruction, but they are white go-karts that cause many a LowSpeedChase scene to happen (when they really need to show those things racing, {{Undercrank}} is needed). Scorpion's car gets cool points by being an actual muscle car and also having weapons, but mileage may vary with all of the "futuristic" stuff bolted to it (like a big clear plastic bubble on the roof).
