Chrysler News: Spying: Chrysler 200, Now In Its Own Skin
and I summed up a similar impression just by saying BLOB. Oh please, nearly every single new car that's spied under heavy camouflage you make asinine assumptions based on what you think you see. Remember, the camouflage is there for a reason, and in case you forget what camouflage actually means, I'll help you. camouflage [ˈkæməˌflɑːʒ] n 1. (Military) the exploitation of natural surroundings or artificial aids to conceal or disguise the presence of military units, equipment, etc. 2. (modifier) (of fabric or clothing) having a design of irregular patches of dull colours (such as browns and greens), as used in military camouflage 3. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Biology) the means by which animals escape the notice of predators, usually because of a resemblance to their surroundings: includes cryptic and apatetic coloration 4. a device or expedient designed to conceal or deceive The only things a reasonable person would deduce are that 1.) It has 4 wheels (holy balls!), 2.) It no longer has the crappy roof line the current 200 inherited from the terrible Sebring, and 3.) It appears to have a pretty long front overhang, but the thinking man will know that this last part can't be fully judged with all the camouflage on it.

Reg, it's amazing how you are able to deduce a vehicle's exact shape behind heavy camouflage. I don't know why they even bother with spy photographers when they could just wheel your ass out to the proving grounds and the world will instantly know what it looks like through your x-ray eyes.

Tesla has been on a roll as of late, and now it can add some more good news to its rather large list of positive press: the Model S earned the highest crash test scores in NHTSA's history. While NHTSA's highest public rating is five stars, the Vehicle Safety Number it gives to manufacturers can go higher, and Tesla says the Model S scored a 5.4. Part of the success lies in the fact that the Model S has no engine up front, allowing more room for the energy absorbing structure. The battery pack, which is nestled in the floor and creates a low center of gravity, lead to NHTSA being unable to roll over the car "via the normal methods, and special means were needed to induce the car to roll." In the side pole intrusion test, the Model S left almost 9-times "driver residual space" post-impact than the five-star rated Volvo S60, thanks to nested aluminum intrusions along its flanks. However, that is not the end of the story, because not only did it score 5 star ratings across all categories, its roof structure proved to be so strong that it actually broke the testing machine after it passed the 4G mark, while the Model S's roof remained undamaged.

Purolator Pure One filters are very good filters and the ones I typically use. A little reading for anyone interested: http://www.cheersandgears.com/topic/39623-info-on-oil-filters/- Jerks Engineered Every Part
That's a myth. You can switch to synthetic at any time, at any mileage. It will not cause leaks. You can switch back and forth if you like, but I just run the better product all the time. As for Rotella, I have heard good things about it, however I personally use Mobil 1 High Mileage religiously on the Intrepid and most of the time in the Prizm. I've seen what an engine that has been running M1 all its life looks like inside, I was impressed. Don't cheap out on the filter. No matter how good the oil, if you buy the $h!can special its not going to keep the oil clean.- Cadillac News: Cadillac Introduces The Elmiraj Coupe

Get the the plugs that your vehicle came with from the factory. Manufactures spent millions in R&D to develop the vehicle and chose the plug they found worked best for that application. My car came with NGK Laser Platinum ZFR5LP-13G, and that's what goes in it when they are changed.- Jerks Engineered Every Part
