  1. I thought there was more for CTS last year, or at least the G8.
  2. What else can he say, the naysayers have him by the Family Jewels! I hope the time-frame doesn't slip or we will never hear the end of it.
  3. I don't care about the swearing, but I swear as God as my judge, I will not give up table dancing.
  4. Hmmmm, I don't think so. :AH-HA_wink:

  13. Automotive News January 7, 2008 - 12:01 am ET Isn't this a wonderful time of year? Although the holidays are over and spring is still a long way off, there's a natural exuberance in the air. It's bowl time. And even though the Bowl Championship Series determines the official No. 1 college football team in the nation, frenzied fans of every winning team — sporting body paint, donning ill-fitting clothing in their school colors and shouting "We're number one, we're number one!" — can't resist the urge to make exaggerated claims and boast a little. It's like that in the auto industry, too. Bragging rights are important to car guys and their fans. There have been years when either General Motors or Ford Motor Co. would delay releasing its year-end sales numbers to see what the other guy had done. It's all in an effort to hoot and holler the loudest as they nail down a claim to be No. 1 in this category or that. This year, Toyota division fans are sticking their index fingers in the air and bragging that their team has toppled Chevrolet to become the best-selling brand in the country. To make that claim, they lump Scion sales into the total because Scions are sold at some Toyota Division dealerships. Chevy fans are crying foul, so it's time for an official review. Scion is a separate brand, Chevy partisans argue. It is a distinct brand DNA with its own logo that was created to lure younger buyers who avoid the Toyota brand. Upon further review, isn't that exactly what Chevrolet did with its Geo brand of small Japanese-designed vehicles? From 1989 through the 1997 model year, some Chevrolet dealerships sold Geo small cars and trucks that had their own logo and brand identity. Yet GM always reported Geo sales as part of Chevrolet. Come to think of it, maybe that's not really exuberance in the air. It might just be some static electricity. Time to get on with the game.

  15. LAS VEGAS - Japanese electronics conglomerate Matsu$h!a Electric Industrial on Monday introduced a 150-inch plasma television, which it says is the world's biggest. The new TV boasts four times better resolution than full high-definition 1080p picture quality and offers a screen the size of nine 50-inch plasma televisions. It was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by Toshihiro Sakamoto, president of Panasonic AVC Networks. Matsu$h!a's new screen, at 12-1/2 feet when measured diagonally, tops the Panasonic brand maker's 103-inch plasma TV released last year. The 103-inch television has sold 3,000 units over the last year, Matsu$h!a said. It will become available in 2009 at an undisclosed price, mainly for use as billboards. Matsu$h!a, the world's largest consumer electronics maker, also partnered with U.S. cable provider Comcast to develop a new set-top box that detaches from its docking station to work as a portable video player to show recorded TV programs. The portable DVR/DVD player, which comes with a 60-gigabyte of recording storage and a docking station, will be available starting in early 2009. Link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22540733/
