Seems suddenly topical...

Remember, it's just as undesirable in a 924 as in a Delta (GM platform for Ion, Cobalt etc) to have a heavy keychain... though at least in a 924 it'll only make the switch wear out. I guess we're used to having manual steering.  j/k
That's why my keychains have only the obligatory Porsche crest fob, and that's it...

People wonder why Detroit went bankrupt and no one buys American anymore. This is absurd. If this happened in Japan the CEO would take a sword cut out his stomach and jump to his death from the top of the building.
It's ironic you can have these crap cars roll off the assembly line, but anyone with an alternative fuels vehicle is subject to so much legal litigation it's damn near impossible for it to go into production. I'm really surprised Tesla made it out of the lawsuit alive. |

Well, that's just supply and demand - same reason Walmart is such a huge business, Americans want cheap over all else.
You think American cars are crap, just wait till the Chinese stuff starts selling here... or, more to the point, you get to share the road with Chinese cars!

| Didn't Toyota just do one of the largest recalls in history? |

I guess GM's vying to be the biggest and the best at everything...

| I will never buy a Chinese car, ever... It's bad enough most of the parts in the cars today come from China. Which is where I suspect that ignition spring came from. |
