*nods* I can identify with this. I've had several open heart surgeries (and just recently gallbladder removal surgery) and I used to really hate my scars, too.

I believe Lutz has this one correct ... and it's good that they are _aware_ of this ... now, they need to GET THE WORD out and make a better attempt to CORRECT the public's point of view. Frankly, GM/Chevrolet (and other carmakers) used that to their advantage with their FWD "campaigns" of a few years ago ... why can't they use that SAME concept (getting the freekin' word out) to their advantage (again) ... and do better jobs at attempting to change those perceptions? *sighs* Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ Models.HO = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/trainroom.html "You've made a fool of everyone" ...
