Blue Devil debacle, Solara sayonara, and Ghosn, that hottie.
Blue Devil debacle
It is not a good sign when the Corvette development team is unsure what side of the road to drive on. I expect the laws in Michigan are the same as they are the rest of North America with respect to which side of the road one should drive one. (BTW, the photo is not flipped either as the plate is shown correctly). Thanks for the (likely unintentional!) laugh.

Here's the story of the Blue Devil: while a real super Corvette is expected at the Detroit auto show, and real spy pictures have been taken, TCC was taken on a set we published a few weeks back. The jackals at another unnamed publication faked a Blue Devil Corvette with tape and dreams, and a reader of ours snapped pictures, believing it to be the Blue Devil. Our photos have been taken off the site - and while some folks were entertained by the whole fiasco, we think it's a punk move that unfortunately, AutoWeek and Motor Trend were caught by as well.
Giugiaro dreams
2006 Ford Mustang by Giugiaro Concept |
This is the Mustang Ford should make available to all. Give up on some of the frills, e.g. glass roof, etc., but keep the exterior/interior design. This is a beautiful car and it could easily rival my CLS for design excellence!

Solara sayonara?
I am writing to you regarding information published on the 2007 Camry Solara on thecarconnection.com. There are a couple of errors that were stated on the write-up. The errors have been highlighted and italicized. The first error is regarding the Optitron gauges. Optitron gauges were never available as an option on the 2004-06 Solaras. The second error is the statement of a redesign for 2008. The Solara is being discontinued after its production run, which goes through 2008. A four-seat crossover vehicle is the 'replacement' for the Solara, and will go on sale for model-year 2009.
I thank you for your attention.
G35 double take
It is amazing how closely the G35 looks like the new Altima. I tend to notice similarities like that quite easily, but did not make the connection on these two until you showed pics of the two cars close to one another in today's email.

On Honda's payroll
Regarding your choices for the Ford Edge poll...."credit the Honda Pilot?" It wishes it looked as good as the Edge. Honda has boring down to a science. You all work for Honda? Gary G.
Yes, in fact we do work for Honda. Our paycheck just came in all the way from California. But it seems to be short a few figures…and hey, where's my company NSX? Guys?
