Ha!

We finally have an automobile reviewer speak the truth about a piece of junk car, and he gets in trouble over it.

I've noticed a lot GM commercials that have different "feel" about them - makes me not want to buy one.

This may be tinfoil hattin but I wonder if the pressure on the auto critic was born out of something other than the papers sponsors?

Wow that is one ugly car. Didn’t read the review, but the paper deserves this mess for softening a critical review. News flash..reviews are often critical, especially for uninspired dreck like the 200.

Hey Chrysler, it’s not the 1980s. We’re not buying junk just because it is “American” any longer. Get over it. Build a better car or shut down. Don’t punish the messenger.

I actually kind of like the ad I've seen regarding the Chrysler 200.

Especially the closing comment.... "Imported from Detroit".

After all, Detroit is pretty much a third world country. And the car is pretty much what one would expect from say... Zimbabwe.

I went to the Chrysler web site to see the car after the Super bowl commercial. You could not see the interior of the car. I had read that they were going to have a futuristic dash board on it and it was to be an electric car.. They decided to get rid of that idea for costs and that they couldn't make it work. Some great car. It looks like just another tiny retooled POS from a crappy car company.

Scott Burgess’ review was indicative of a biased and unprofessional media that we see on FR everyday.

Then, Detroit News altered the article to appease an advertiser....another example of the politically correct culture where everybody should be worried about “offending” someone.

This is a great example of why the MSM is dying.

If the car is a turkey; the public needs to know it.
