He's tired of posturing legislators in Washington. Tired of the UAW getting punched around by people with no sense of history. Tired of his neighbors in West Bloomfield Township lying to themselves about how perfect their foreign cars are. Really, really tired of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner. Also, he'd like to sell more automobiles. But that won't happen until everyone is through posturing. And if GM... Full article...

This is not just a dreaded SUV, a dinosaur in the making, it's one of the fastest ones ever built, a velociraptor in sheet metal. Gloriously fast, this SUV sucks down more gas than even the EPA thinks: 11 miles per gallon city and 14 mpg highway. Those are under the best conditions.
