Chicago Preview: Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car edition {Autoblog}
Feb 1st 2007 6:44PM Quit starting all your posts with "Hmmm"! I know it must be hard for you to come up with a relevant post post but you don't need give us the visual.
On to more important issues. I am not a fan of any of the pace car packages because they just look terrible. GM has too many "special editions" and most of them are stupid like an SS Equinox, or new spiced up Lacrosse thats on the way. Isn't the Z06 special enough? Sure, as long as its black and snaps your neck. Now thats special!
Freemasons getting into NASCAR {Autoblog}
Jan 30th 2007 8:26PM Actually NASCAR is brodcast in Australia, Europe, and Asia. I have seen races while I visited China so get over yourself and save your anti-NASCAR rant for some who cares.

Ford's Mulally Fighting the Good Fight against Corporate Culture {Autoblog}
Jan 30th 2007 1:24PM I know some will get all pissy but product will only go so far. You need the culture changed so that clear and logical plans can be executed whether its in finance or advertising. I test drove an Edge a couple of days and was thourghly impressed but the the ad campaign sucks, same with the the Five-Hundred which is also a really good car with alot of features. It may look bland but so does every other family sedan out there but I have never seen an ad touting its massive back seat and trunk space along with optional AWD. The product isn't as bad as people think or want to think but they do such a terrible job of marketing that nobody knows about it. Look at how many F-Series ads there are and see the correlation in sales. Now look at the number of Five-Hundred ads and look at its sales. Ford (and GM and Chrysler) don't market the cars just their "firesale" deals.
Subaru unveiling new Impreza in New York, WRX being dropped {Autoblog}
Jan 30th 2007 12:08AM Doesn't the high and mighty Toyota own Subaru now? So wouldn't the order be comming down from them since Subaru is nothing more than a brand of theirs anymore?
Cavalier love gone too far? {Autoblog}
Jan 27th 2007 12:38AM I hope he was drunk when he got this. If not, he's been drunk everyday since getting it.
Detroit Auto Show attendance drops for fourth straight year {Autoblog}
Jan 22nd 2007 11:27PM On an intersting note VW was almost non-existant this year. Their display was only a third of what it has been over the past few years. As for which show is better it probably is Chicago but Detroit is much more significant since it is the home for Ford and GM and Toyota and Nissan have a major presence in the area. Don't forget many suppliers are based in the Detroit area too. It isn't just tradition that keeps the auto show in Detroit it is the significance and if you think it is going anywhere except Detroit you really need think again.
Spy Shots: 2009 Ford Mustang GT {Autoblog}
Jan 18th 2007 5:57PM Why is the Mustang so big compared to a Z4? Because it has 4 seats! Now I can't put 4 in mine but I can put three in it no problem. I drove from Ann Arbor to Detroit (45 min) for the auto show and had two near 6 foot passengers and neither said it was an uncomfortable ride. Thats one of the reasons it sells well.
Construction worker moves Maserati with forklift. Flippage ensues. {Autoblog}
Jan 18th 2007 5:47PM I don't think the construction worker should be liable for anything if there was a no parking sign. It is pretty funny though because the sister was cruising in his car trying to look cool and WHAM!
Spy Shots: 2009 Ford Mustang GT {Autoblog}
Jan 18th 2007 11:52AM A friend of mine is an engineer for Ford and said from what he has heard the next Mustang will look alot like the Giugiaro. I'm glad to hear that because when I visited the auto show yesterday the crowd around the Giugiaro Mustang was huge and recieved rave reviews. I like it because it is a little less retro but leaves no doubt that you are looking at a Mustang.
