I wonder if most of this has to do with that airbag recall? An airbag going off and throwing shrapnel into my face seems WAY more dangerous to me than bumping a key with your knee, yet I hardly hear anything about this.

I think that is just part of it. I think they are just telling us part of the story as what the problems were.

It won't be as bad because it's not an American brand.

Any idea who owns Motor Trend?

I haven't respected Motor Trend since they named the Ford Thunderbird Car of the Year in 2003. I felt they had lost perspective back then, I don't see an improvement.

Also, there was a time that if you asked a rag journalist what was the "best" car, BMW M3 was an immediate response. Yet, Evo rag, in Europe where the M3 has "god" status, did a "test" a couple years ago of the cars the people that worked at the rag actually owned. Only one person actually owned an M3.

My point is, if I get to drive every car ever made, I would own what I feel is the best driving car, hence my choice of a ZL1.

GE doesn't own NBC anymore. Comcast bought GE's equity, though that should have never been allowed to happen.
