I'm not a big fan of the blip, either, but I still think your comment reflects poorly on you as a commenter. You went all the way back to March to find a post you took issue with, then broke it down, detail by minute detail while hyperbolizing like a drama queen. In the midst of your tremendous pedantry and…

You do realize that the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News are two separate entities, right?

As for 2, nobody does that. It would be a tremendous waste of money. There are companies, though, that lease new cars to manufacturers for competitive testing. They are usually kept at proving grounds. Proving grounds are hot and dusty or cold and windy. CEOs don't go to proving grounds very often.

Technically, that's not a 707; it's a Dash 80.

Well, since somebody already promoted this...

"...the wonderful invention which put the teeming millions behind the wheel without need of any particular motor skills or hand-foot coordination?"

People like to think they're becoming wiser to it, but as a whole, they're not. Like I said, these strategies work even when the fees are disclosed up front. $199(plus $20 handling fees) sells better than $219 any day. It's a mystery of human psychology.

The article's about China, not Utah.

The proliferation of budget travel-booking sites like Travelocity and Expedia are the main culprits in fee hikes. These booking channels (known within the industry as ADS channels) are well aware that over 80% of their customer base choose to sort results by airline fare or hotel rate. Revenue managers at the…

I choose to take Sherlock Holmes's opinion on the matter:

To be fair, it is second.

Attention, GM: Oversteer my recession! Go!

That RAM fiasco has to be the worst rebranding (not rebadging) in automotive history. While everyone else was shedding brands (Saturn, Pontiac, Mercury), Chrysler decided to add one. For no good reason. To separate their best-selling product from a bunch of irredeemable shitboxes. Dollars to donuts it's back to…

Almost. The Caprice is a Statesman, the G8 was a Commodore. The Caprice has a noticeably longer wheelbase.

Your picture is hawt. LeMans?

$2 Million a piece? You've got to be kidding me. "Mobile Command Centers" and the like are nothing but an ego stroke for the higher-ups of law enforcement organizations. What have these rolling penis extensions done in their 4-year lives to possibly justify an $18 million expenditure? This is why California is…

Maybe it's just the angle, but it looks to me like they started out building a 1953 Corvette, then decided to change it to a Merc when they were 2/3 done.

Full disclosure: I work for Hyundai Development/Durability and that's exactly what we call them! It's an FS (chassis code) or "velociraptor", never "Veloster".

Hmm, I've been so busy ignoring the tC, I didn't notice the 42hp difference. That may actually be something to consider, I submit. I would still argue that the Veloster has 42hp less for $1245 less. For me, a sunroof and a different wheel size doesn't put a car in a different class.
