Isn't this essentially what Walmart does to their suppliers, too?

I think this is an actress that nobody's heard of outside of the U.K. trying to get noticed by using Top Gear's worldwide audience. An actress that is obviously over-sensitive and unfamiliar with the show, making a mountain out of a mole hill, etc.

The interior space is definitely one of the car's weakest links. I got to spend a weekend in a rented '11 Taurus a few years ago, and I really wanted to like it, but I was appalled at the lack of interior room. It had plenty of power, it was comfortable, handled well, I thought the build quality and material feel was…

I love a nice crested butte.

Definitely Lincoln. If they want a real chance at survival, it HAS to be them.

Since I can't edit... or don't know how...

This seems like an opportunity to add another Vette to the collection, and save money on the restoration of the ones damaged in the sinkhole... just line them up, restore Monster Vette, and stick on a ramp at the end!

I'll say what I said yesterday in a different post: Chrysler should "destroy" the cars by donating them to the art programs of different schools so students can create Viper-based sculptures and wall art. Then that art could be sold to fund a scholarship for aspiring art or automotive students.

It's a shame the cars have to be destroyed entirely. Why can't some of the parts be auctioned off to go towards a scholarship for aspiring automotive students? Why not transfer the cars from the automotive departments to the art departments and let the students use their imagination to create wall art or sculptures…

Ironic that in trying to create a car that would last 30 years, they didn't utilize the 911's stylists. They couldn't have been busy at the time...

Boy, everything 80's is cool again. First the Radio Shack ad during the Super Bowl, and the 80's-themed Delta safety video, now NYC has a real Electric Avenue we can rock down to!

This is a great write-up. I've had the pleasure or displeasure of dealing with quite a few car salesmen over the past year or two. Most experiences were typical, I'd say. Some were downright disappointing (like two 'test drives' that lasted less than a mile each and never got above 30 mph).

"Ice cube" LEDs rather than a traditional halogen bulb. They're available on the SX and Limited gas models, too. Personally, I think they're ugly and look out of place on that car.

No doubt one of the gorgeous structures that served as inspiration for the original Penn Station in NYC. I need to go there someday. The sheer size of the space compared to the cars is impressive, and must be breathtaking in person.

I saw an announcement from Bigfoot 4X4 that there will be a monster truck show touring Europe this year (and Bigfoot has a UK-based team). I hope you can make it!

Here's an article from August last year that sheds some light on it, and another article from December as well.

It's all relative, really. The Nano is cheap enough to allow people who previously couldn't afford a car to get in the game. So in that respect, it's likely much safer in a crash than their former mode of transportation; piled onto a moped, bicycle, etc.

Compared to cars that we know here in the already-emerged markets…

Much better than a first-gen probe in the rear end! Hey-oooooo!

That is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. I think it would scale down well, too, for instance if they adapted the new Mustang platform for a luxury convertible.

YES.
