Ah.  I was wondering why it looked like a big Passat.  Is it just me, or do they ride extremely high?

Well, at least it's not a GM; NPR was just covering how GM is virtually strangling their suppliers, and in the next few days is expected to demand a ~20% cost cut from suppliers.  The smart suppliers have been switching to supply Toyota, Honda, etc.  The dumb ones are sticking with GM, and GM is demanding measures like "outsourcing" the work to Mexico, China, and other strongholds of quality.  Won't it be a sad day when a Japanese car has more USA-made parts than a GM?
