The new front face draws heavily from the family tree, with sharper lines, creases and a more aerodynamic profile that seems to be missing with most MPVs, both here and abroad."<br><br>i mean, come on, even the old Mazda MPV looked better than this!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2007 9:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASCAR Scandal!

Nascar's garages are wide open, not individual boxes like Indy or F1. Anyone could have walked up with what appeared to be a "soda" bottle and got close enouse to tamper with the fuel. Any person of intelligence and not of ignorance can see this. And BTW Autoblog, this infraction happened last sunday, and the fine was announced about 6pm, Wednesday night. If you need a Nascar coorespondent to provide you with timely news updates, let me know.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian Richardson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2007 9:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASCAR Scandal!

AutoBlog, how disappointing. This story was on the network news BEFORE it broke here?<br><br>  2.) Could this "vasoline-like substance" be another case of a Toyota engine developing a sludging problem?<br><br>  3.) A NASCAR TEAM CHEATING....what is the world coming to?<br><br>  4.) according to the ABC-TV news story I saw, Mr. Waltrip was urged to stay in the race by his young daughter. (Apparently no one else heard this very sappy story.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Howard Kerr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2007 9:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASCAR Scandal!

Not a good way to start out a new race series...kind of a black eye on the first big event of the year.  Oh and that vaseline like substance must be the leaking engine sludge they keep trying to deny ever existed in their other cars!  Who says the cars in NASCAR have no connection to the production vehicles on the road today?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[J.Crew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2007 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASCAR Scandal!
