All current American cars suck. What makes matters worst is theat The Dodge Charger, new Ford Mustang, new Dodge Challenger, new Chevrolet Camaro look like they are from the 70s. Body shape and oversized carburator grilles make it ugly. Even the cars from the late 80s and 90s look better....and it didn't even cost a lot to make good looking cars back then which still looks modern even today....some examples are the Dodge Intrepid, Chevrolet Geostorm, Pontiac Bonneville, Ford Puma, Dodge Neon, Saturn SC and so on.

Like you say, maybe they should get a new career. <br/><br/>I'll be posting a blog later this week (www.1to1media.com/weblog) about a NYT article that said constomers are uncomfortable when companies see their online complaints and follow up via blogs, Twitter, or other social media tools. Seems companies aren't the only ones who don't understand what social media is for. I'd love to know your thoughts. Dave-
