But will it drifito?

"But will it drifito?" is the first thing a Japanese automotive enthusiast (Japanese person who likes Japanese cars) asks when presented with a foreign car. This byword is meant by the speaker to inquire whether the car (or other vehicle) in question will drift, distorting the word into "drifito".

Rolls-Royce engineer: "We present the newest fruit of our labors: the Phantom, the finest, most exquisite of motor-cars."
Datsun engineer: "Very nice. But will it DRIFITO?"
