...in the GM Design Dome (invited) looking at the...oh...right.... *EMBARGOED*

Hah yes that would be brilliant. Most of the people covering NAIAS are paying their own way. I don't know about the rest of them, but that bagel in the morning and the burger for dinner don't do a lot to sway me. Assuming I even have time to stop working and eat.

...which one is supposed to be Cory? Happy boithday

Discuss what was talked about at the press conference if you'd like, otherwise we're done here.

Why is this in "GM News?" So far I see no mention of GM News.

I thought that's what it was to begin with..?

I see you decided to stop shellacking!

Which, hilariously, isn't a 100% terrible source anymore. They cut through *everyones* bull$h!.

LoL Get real, please. No one goes to SNL looking news/facts. OMG you mean "Night School Musical" or "Tylenol BM" don't really exist?!? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad isn't gay for Andy Samberg?!?! NO WAY!

Mmm..not really. It might not be a fish eye lens, but certainly an ultra wide angle lens. Probably in the 15-20mm range. Anything that wide and you get a lot of distortion and a less-than-accurate depiction. That's what is going on here.

Agreement has been reached apparently: http://www.leftlanenews.com/detroit-three-...-agreement.html

The end of the world.

Haha... Oh, um...sorry? Honestly I didn't really think much of Audis a while ago. I'd never driven one, but just sort of wrote them off since the older designs weren't all that exciting. Then I started reviewing cars and got to drive a big chunk of their lineup. That's when I realized what exceptional cars they are. Now the design side is finally catching up with the engineering side.

Thanks. Haha I figured I'd already be in Gitmo by now.

Uhm...it is what I do for a living. What made you think I didn't?

It has nothing to do with anything in the future Caddy lineup. Just a mis-mash of body parts that fit.

Mmm...good idea, yes.

Fox News just bought the limo pics and they were on the front door of the site: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,452088...ch/foxcarreport I assume I'll be accused of being a terrorist by the end of the day.

One of my friends just sent me this link: http://defamer.com/5082151/look-everyone-i...iffes-naughties

That sounds awfully familiar. Sorry for your loss....I hope you find solace in the memories.

The engineering/white collar job cuts seem likely. The part about the Volt seems quite a bit less likely.

Time for everyone to "get over it."

Uh...wow. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5095495.ece http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/a...0,5597211.story She didn't know Africa was a continent?!
