Albert Einstein here again Steve-O. Ford and GM said the uni-body construction was a bad idea, when in the early 1960s Chrysler went to it, eliminating the need for heavy steel frames that were isolated from the body by rubber body mounts that eventually rotted away over time and from use, causins squeeks and rattles. ...more

Let me answer that Gee-tar Ricky! Many Americans are vain, blindly follow trends, don't bother with facts (they like easy and quick factoids though) and are generally self-centered and vain. Too often outright stupidity is involved in their thinking process (lots of evidence of that as we look at the right wing clowns ...more

Sorry Ryan-facts is facts my boy! The last time I checked Bloomington, IL is not located in the South, but in central IL. That is where the Eclispse is made for the U.S. market.

They don't know how to work a gas pedal?????????   Please statements like "driver error" and "operator error" are what I call "corporate cop-outs"! Give us a break!!!!

It's disgusting to see all of these American bloggers defending their guilt about owning a Honda or Hyundai or whatever Asian vehicle they are running around in, trying to impress their neighbors and family with.  Some of them probably would have bought a new Mercedes during World War II, prior to Pearl Harbor, because...more
