off topic / traction control

[Shirley, Mark R]

Unfortunately, that's the dynamic that our societal system has caused.
To get ahead, the media types want sensational stories to make a name
for themselves.  The big three, to provide money for their investors,
makes sometimes shoddy decisions.  The engineers themselves most times,
are idealists, and WANT to produce excellent vehicles, but get hampered
by the bean counters.

Oddly enough, Ford's name pops to mind again--- Pinto anyone?
But Gm and chrysler have had it's share too.

I am just getting tired of marginal engineering decisions beeing twisted by 
mass media into being something more then they really are. Remeber the GM 
truck/gas tank deal on dateline a few years ago?
