I think the article is part crap when it comes to the Phaeton. IMO the Phaeton has been quite underhyped in terms of capabilities and features. VW stupidly isn't doing any advertising of the amazing features it has. :disgust:
The X-Type and Ford Thunderbird are however certainly overhyped crap.
The 1/2 Kenmore is not bad. My old Kenmore crapped out too last week, rusted center-bolt. So too on CR receommendation bought the 1/2 hp one. It was on sale for 59$ and I had a 10 off 50. So it was a good deal. So far it's working fine, no complaints. If you wish to find a reasonably good...
Sorry, my bad. I misread one of the other posted links on audiworld site and apparently it was some-other similar accident where the driver escaped. That said, somehow I find this whole accident a bit suspicious.
Except that the S60 scored the last in crash-test ratings amongst it's peers.

The Volvo safety factor isn't as hyped as it used to be. Once upon a time Volvos were certainly one of the safest cars. But in today's world...
I think the whole new setup of C&D's subjective option crap sucks. For example, last year when they did the test between a 330i and A4 3.0, they were very neck to neck. And not in this test a lowly 325 (with no changes) beats the same A4. Just don't get it..:disgust:
Granted currently the...
VW has had some excellent and intelligent ads for a while. However for the past 2-3 years, they have become crappy. If you see some of the old VW ad (as in 5-10-15-20 years back) they were brilliant and intelligent. Especially those of the old Beetle, Corrodo etc. Unlike many other...
As another poster pointed, I got mine too at http://www.powerbulbs.com Prior to these I had the Phillips Vision Plus, which were pretty good too. They lasted me roughly 2 years. I was hoping that they would last me more. Anyways these new SilverStars while being a wee bit brighter than...
Not to rain on the parade. But the US versions of these bulbs are just about average. The real good SilverStars are the ones made by Osram (Sylvania's parent) and available in Europe only. It's quite like the K-mart Zymol vs the real Zymol for those in the auto-know-how. Trust me, I get...
Agreed. I am surprised nobody is flaming the poster. :Q That said, Sony WEGA is really overhyped. Almost all good Full Flat TVs have 3 line comb filter etc. I prefer the JVC over the WEGA. The Sony XBR on the otherhand is a wee bit better, but is worth the extra money ...dunno.
While you are right about all giving rebates and buyers getting used to it, it's a vicious self-feeeding circle. Honda is smart to realize it and hence doesn't give much discount. They know their products will sell. And not giving much rebates unlike other manuf. helps them retain better...
I doubt you are going to see any anytime soon. VW has one of the lowest rebates/discounts in the car industry. Yup much lesser than the much vaunted Honda/Toyota/Acura/Infinitis.
