Maybe, though I would argue the Cayenne’s success has more to do with people’s love/need for SUVs than the lack of design revision of 911's design. Even then, there are a lot of design elements cribbed from the 911 in the Cayenne, Macan and Panamera. The closest departure is the Cayman, and even then not a whole lot.

Porsche seems to be doing not so badly freshening up the 911 every couple years, but not radically redesigning it. Some designs just work and just need a bit of “updating” to keep fresh.....

It saddens me that a) these aren’t sold in Canada, b) that regardless I can’t afford one anyway, c) that GM has the short sightedness to not keep this car alive and make it the awsome replacement of the Impala with a full model line-up, d) that they for some reason don’t think any of the awsome HSV versions would make…

At the very least, at least this victim doesn’t regret coming forward regardless of what the judge decides: http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/201…

Regarding consent, from what I understand of the law (re: hitting/choking) consent isn’t relevant, the act still isn’t legal regardless (just typically a person who consents isn’t going to complain). From what I read about the CBC board incident though, the video he presented as his “proof” was more than rough sex.…

No 16 year old kid should have a new car. They should have an old, crappy, slow, rusting car and earn their way up to a new one, so they have an appreciation for car ownership. Giving a 16 year old a new car is the equivilant of singers who become popular thanks to The Voice or American Idol. They just become…

By that metric how is Toyota still in business. They are the kings of uninspired vehicles, or to the other extreme, ones that looked like they were sliced or melted.

I remember seeing a few of these where guys had modified them to try and make them look like BMWs. I wish I had a picture... they were very amusing.

And that is the fault of the Crown in my opinion. I don’t think, despite all the arguments/rationalizations/protests made on here, that the witness(es) were justified in withholding their actions after the encounter with Ghomeshi. But what the Crown should have done was present testamony on victim behaviour, called…

I’ve come to the conclusion that that is the point any who make this argument are hedging around. They’ve assumed (and in Ghomeshi’s case he’s more or less said as much himself, just twisted the context via “consent” argument) that if you are charged with an assault/rape then you should have to prove you didn’t do it…

I don’t disagree with your frustration. Before things began, I felt that the case was pretty much locked given what lengths he had gone and things he had said to cover his ass (and failed all that in the process). What has been bothering me about this case (and others like it) is the backlash that people have been…

This is very disheartening to read when I have to fill up my car today at $0.87/L..... :/ Worse when you consider a) a lot of that cost is made up by tax and tax on tax, and those tax dollars are being wasted on poorly planned/vetted projects like a wind-farm in the direct flight path of a local airport. But hey, who…

Why his lawyer - she did what she was hired to do? Him, you can have at him all you want. Swing at the crown as well since they dropped this gimmie.

He committed a crime regardless of consent. That the crown didn’t do their jobs in presenting that aspect is the biggest failure of this case. Seriously, everything the accusers/victims did is irrelevant and they (crown) really should have taken any attacks on their witnesses as “so what, doesn’t diminish that the…

Also, I’m not defending Ghomeshi, I think he is a twat and a predator based on what has been discussed in the media and publicly. BUT, I don’t see how the system failed given the crown didn’t do their jobs by all legal accounts. I just don’t agree that the system should change the rules because of the crime committed…

How is the accused not on trial? The prosecution’s job is to tear down the accused’s credibility via the defense and testimony they present. If in cross examination that evidence or testimony is itself made not credible, why should the accused have to further demonstrate their presumed innocence? Yes, the accuser’s…

Innocent until proven guilty. Why should a person accused of anything have to say anything if the people accusing them of something haven’t made their case? If the justice system is going to be skewed in any direction I’d rather it be that it assumes innocence vs guilt, wouldn’t you?

I often get the sense in cases like this that people think the justice system should have a special clause where the standard should be reversed to say “guilty until proven innocent”. So far only the CRA has been able to make that happen. In our current system, it is the defense’s job to tear down the credibility of…

For what? Doing her job? How exactly should she have ‘supported other women’ in this case? Should Ghomeshi just have been thrown in jail based on accusations alone? Seriously, like what are you trying to say here? I think the man is a twat and probably is a predator who gets off choking women, but if the justice…

That is the one aspect of this case that I find interesting isn’t still hanging over his head. From what little I’ve read about the testomony, the break-down of the victim’s credibility has centred around their consent or their belief they were assaulted. But I haven’t seen anything that disputes that the choking…
