Hi Fellas,
Good show, I just finished it on my commute this morning. It had fewer mentions of Ford products. Good.
Sometimes this is how the show goes:
"So Chris tell us what you had in the Autoblog Garage."
"I had the Lamborghini Murcielago. Meh. It was okay for what it is, but the cargo space was horrible. It didn't do well entering parking lot curbs, and it was hard to park. Not good for hauling kids. Lets just move on from this horrible experience."
"Okay Dan, what did you have?"
"I had the Ford Focus! It was the best car evar!"
"Did you have the ecoboost?"
"Yes. It had the ecoboost, the seats were supportive, but not as supportive as the Taurus. Great car. I think everyone should drive this car. It's perfect for a first date all the way through dropping your kids off for college."
--followed by twenty more minutes of analyzing the Ford Focus and comparing it to other platforms--
Just kidding guys. I love you all.

Lloyd: pretty funny stuff, my friend. And probably a bit true, too. It seems auto news travels from automaker to automaker. A few years ago it was chrysler with the 300 and Charger, then it was GM with the Camaro, CTS, and Malibu. Then it was Nissan with GT-R news day and night. Now it's Ford with the Mustang, Fusion, and Taurus. It will shift again... I'm certain of that.

Don't be dissing the cladding on the original Avalanche. That's one of the best parts of the truck. This thing can actually take a bit of abuse without scratching the paint!
