Mouton and Pons, they are not

Huh?  I didn't read any of this into the article, just like a man can
prance around in a ballet without losing his masculinity, I think women
can race (rally or whatever) without losing their femininity.  Admit it,
you were that one guy who took feminine studies in college.

I do think the part towards the end of the article will put many people
(of both genders) off of the vehicle, especially those of us who have to
parallel park everyday.  I feel their pain after having to park a Chevy
Suburban in the South End of Boston for a few weeks.

I won't comment on the commercials because I haven't seen any yet.
