    "Chery is Cherry"

    Nice post...I think it is cute. With the economic times I think it will challenge every automaker to come up with ways to capture consumers especially since it isn't easy being green.
    I want to see one in person!

    "Here They Come"

    If I was a Detroit auto executive, this would give me even worse chills than I would have already. It may not be the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

    As usual, Detroit will miss the boat. Stuck in the 20th century. Politician too.
