    I don't see how the drive was "illegal". Dangerous, perhaps, but as the interior of the center is not a road, highway, or parking lot, not illegal. Probably against the centers policy though. How do you think they got the car in there in the first place! They drove it!

    I'm sorry, but that car looks nice. It will cost almost nothing compared to American automobiles, and Chinese built cars will be sold here before you know it. Last I heard we are only a couple of years from masses of chinese auto imports.

    I know this isn't a political forum, but I'm sorry. Michigan and Ohio are stupid if they think that auto manufacturing jobs are ever returning here. They are even dumber if they think that any candidate is going to bring those jobs back. As it is, Japan is going to have to work even harder to avoid losing market share - lower prices and even better reliability.

    competition competition!!!

    ya buddy!!! cant wait... who will be the lowest bidder???

    now remember, we already have kia and other super low cost alternatives, so if they introduce junk, it will take them years to dig out of that hole and i am willing to bet they already know that the high quality mid market segment is by far the most lucrative
