[Leftlane - news, reviews, and info for the auto-industry] 2008 Dodge Dakota: A4: the V8 in the Dakota wasn’t even that great, Dodge loved to boast about how it was “the only V8 in it’s class”, and yet the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma’s V6’s are more powerful and get better mileage, and those two trucks are also faster. Hmm…sounds like a bunch of marketing bull**** to me!

[GM FastLane] Saturn Revisited | GM FastLane: You know we talked about designing cars over the $100,000 price range, but when you have a million dollar design like the Holden FJ Efigy that screams to be recast in America as a Buick just as the Opel turned Saturn PreVue or a great Velite concept at home and all of a sudden flying spirits hit turbulance.

[CarseatBlog.Com] 2010 Toyota Prius Review: Kids and Safety: We know the fuel economy is awesome, but what about a test drive?  No problem.  We took an extended drive, too, just to be sure.  Nice car.  You know, it’s a Toyota.  That means it’s pretty boring in general, though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  The design looks small on the outside, but it’s almost as roomy as the average midsize car on the inside.  On the exterior, it’s sleek for aerodynamics.  The interior is nice and well made, but also boring, outside of the Hybrid Information Display and a redesigned center console.  Acceleration?  Boring.  Steering?  Not as loose as I expected on a Toyota, but still boring.  Handling?  Secure (i.e. boring).  Braking seemed quite good, but hard to find much excitement in the brakes.  Fit and finish?  Toyota has made that boring with their nearly flawless quality, too.  The only minor issue was a driver’s side window seal that was a bit mangled in one spot.  We tried to fix it by hand without success and the service department couldn’t fix it, either.  They said they would make an appointment to replace the seal or a dealer local to us could do it under warranty.  Oddly enough, the next morning the seal had fixed itself.  I’m guessing one of the techs must have done just enough to get it to pop back on its own.
