What If...?
I didn't warn you specifically for pictures. It was about a link embedded in the picture of one of your sigs that led to a very pornographic site. I really don't have anymore to say to that as you admitted such a link could've existed in your sig.

Hybrids Won't Save You Any Money
So I should spend over markup for psychological reasons? Riiiiight. The truth is, most people will not benefit from hybrids, especially those trading in a newer vehicle for one. It makes more sense to pay off that vehicle and purchase a few-year-old 5-speed econobox for commuting.

Ass-tastic. Where's Reg? I'm anxious to hear some "Well, the 1998 Buick Signia looked like shit" comments.

WTF is this?
1977 Chrysler LeBaron Turbine. Looked a lot like a Magnum with a mid-70s Imperial grille. It forcasted the look of the '81-83 Imperial LeBaron. As far as it being the most interesting, meh. It was the latest and greatest (and last) of Chrysler turbine technology, but it was mainly DoE-funded and Chrysler couldn't make it if they wanted since they were loosing money hand-over-fist at that time. The 'original' '63 Turbine is far more significant because it was roadable (loaned out to about 200 families I believe), really showcased the realistic technology to the public, and was clearly a product of alot of optimism regarding the turbine car. Turbines are smooth as hell, by the way, and would make the most "sophisticated" Honda or Lexus powerplants seem like they were made by Briggs & Stratton. Also, turbines can burn virtually any combustable liquid - gas, diesel, jet fuel, perfume. The best webpage about the Turbine

Still looks French, which is bad enough. Nice Guess-What-You-Couldn't-Afford coverplates on the steering wheel.

Automotive "trends"
If its not a BMW, its crap. "The new Dodge Sprinter is a fine utility beast, but it can't hold the corners like a 325i." That, and my fav bullshit phrase, 'Brand DNA.'

It wasn't a potshot. A potshot would be: 5) Mitsu cars suck balls. You admit yourself that its a fact. If I were comparing GM to Mitsubishi and called upon Mitsu's lame gimmicks without saying a thing about GM's then, yes, I would be hypocritical. You also admit yourself that while none of Mitsubishi's gimmicks worked, several of GM's has. In that same vein - depending on how things pan out over the next year - the latest Employee Pricing program could be viewed as an excellent though belated segue from the vicious cycle of monster incentives to a more reasonable pricing structure. GM sales will continue to increase in many sectors (profitability is another, more complex story). You can name-call Mitsubishi buyers (thereby indicting yourself as lameass?), but the simple fact remains that the program failed. And even if my fifth point were conceded, the other four remain largely valid. Add to them the fact that the Japanese core of Mitsubishi exists on shaky grounds in many ways and the fact that they had/have one of the most out-of-touch and duplicative lineups of any brand. As far as the warranty deal, yeah sorta. Raider: 5/60 bumper-to-bumper, 7/100 corrosion Dakota: 3/36 bumper-to-bumper, 7/70 powertrain, 5/100 corrosion - What If...?
