The definition of a consultant - Someone who is an "expert" in ten thousand methods of making love, but is actually a virgin.
This guy sounds like another Ralph Nader "auto expert who can't even drive." Examples:
Pinto - Funny, no one ever saw a Mercury Bobcat go up in flames. The only differences were the grille, tail lights and name plates. Even Joannie Phony Claybrook had to admit that the infamous film of a test Pinto bursting into flames was done with plastic containers of gasoline in the trunk, detonated electrically.
Chevy Astro - Built as a truck, not a minivan. The Chevy Lumina MPV was their minivan. The Astro survived the MPV on the market by over a decade.
Ford Taurus - One of the finest family cars ever built, in spite of being wrong wheel drive. I own one.
Ford Explorer - Not everybody lives in the city. Here in Appalachia, it's often days after a winter storm before the back roads see a snowplow. Having a 4x4 can be a true lifesaver in an emergency. Even Laura, who runs our front office here, has one.
Detroit has turned out some real duds. Like Dare, I give the Chevy Vega as an example. Even worse, the Chevy Metro or Aveo, the Dodge Colt and the Ford Festiva. Oops, I forgot, those weren't American.
