Limbaugh Gets SCHOOLED By Car Magazine!

Foul!

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/sc-dc-1127-obama-injury-web-20101127,0,5425545.story

I would sure hate to be the person who injured Obama. I wonder if the Secret Service pointed their machine guns at him.

The White House did not name the player who bloodied the presidential lip, though in Washington's hothouse media environment, that name isn't likely to stay secret for long.

Obama's brother-in-law is Craig Robinson, coach of the Oregon State University men's basketball team, which is in town for a game Saturday against Howard University. Though Robinson did not play, his son, Avery, a high school senior, was among the 10 players on the court, according to Shawn Schoeffler, a spokesman for the Oregon State basketball team.

Nicely done, Motor Trend.

40k for a small car that's essentially a civic with a bigger batter. Requires a Tax-Payer subsidy to boot.
How stupid.

I'm no car expert, but offering an alternative to the traditional internal combustion engine makes it a bit more significant than that.

Rush is such an asshole, it's a pleasure to read someone pick him apart like that.

Why would anyone spend twice the price of Honda Civic for around 1/4 mpg improvement.

The break-even is absurd. Your tax dollars at work.

Again, not trying to argue the cost and tax specifics as much as point out that its signifigance is in the role it's playing in the major shift we're seeing in automotive technology.

40k for a small car that's essentially a civic with a bigger batter. Requires a Tax-Payer subsidy to boot.
How stupid.

so...you didn't read the article, did you?

WEll,
Considering the tax payer required subsidy(no accident the Gov't is a shareholder in G.M)
that the nations power grid is over-taxed(North East black out 2003)
that the prevalent fuel for electricity generation in the United States is COAL(44.9% in 2009)
that the car costs twice what a Honda Civic goes for
that no consumer other than a hard core "environmentalist" would buy one.

maybe.. just maybe Rush is right and you just won't listen because.. "you don't like him"

no...i have no opinion of him

its you that i despise.

did you read the article?

particularly the part about where they (Motor Trend) consider themselves to be experts on automobiles as they test drive every single new car.

are you an expert on cars?

GM does not disclose its ad budget, but its U.S. spending in 2008 was estimated at $2.23 billion by Kantar Media, and Ewanick said his 2011 U.S. advertising budget would be "a couple of percentage points" above the 2008 level.

Ewanick said GM's 2011 U.S. advertising budget will be more focused after the restructuring cut U.S. brands in half to four. Chevy, which accounts for seven of every 10 GM sales, will receive roughly that share of the ad budget.

"Anyone doing an IPO might want to use this as a case study – it's so well-scripted," stated Edmunds.com CEO Jeremy Anwyl, who details this theory in his blog http://justtoclarify.typepad.com/. "Executives Stephen Girsky and Chris Liddell know the financial market and understand what it takes to make an IPO successful. They lined up institutional investors ahead of time and began a steady drumbeat of good news about 45 days ago in order to set the stage for the big day."

well, i tried to pull up the pasty. not found. interesting.

rs moves to the right, adjusts to the left. darting about in open territory.

serpentine.

but can you lease it for $450 per month?

Point 1)
So what does Interlink(owner of Motor Trend) and General Motors(owner of Chevrolet) have in common?

Bankruptcy of course!
-------------------------------
Point 2)
Motor Trend is not the same as Consumer's Union or Edmunds.
They are a soft news site. Ad Age calls Source Interlink a home
entertainment distributor. They also distribute soap opera digest.
------------------------------------------------------------
Point 3)
Who pays the bills at Motor Trend?
You think it's subscriptions? Guess again. Ad revenue
Probably North of 25% ..maybe even over a 1/3
------------------------------------------------------------

4) tell us about your automobile expertise? do you test drive every new car? do you even read motor trend?

ok, so summing up this product
Its not an electric car but a hybrid
Costs twice as much as a civic
gets 44% of its non-gasoline power from coal
has no sales except from bailed out company G.E.
makes g.m. no money(it costs 40k to produce)
requires a tax payer subsidy

and was announced car of the year by a bankrupt media company that gets it's ad revenue from Detroit.
Hell Motor Trend called the 2002 Ford Thunderbird car of the year too. in 2001 The P.T. Cruiser..

what qualifies you to even comment much less sum up?

what is your claimed expertise on this subject?

We should talk about Porsches and their owners.

The three brands with the highest House Hold Income were:

Porsche
: $187,705
Mercedes-Benz: $162,824
Audi: $153,746

Jaguar: $150,587
BMW: $148,992
Lexus: $141,355

more ducking and weaving.
