This Just In: New on the Net

Jason used to write this post. But honestly? I’ve had it with his lazy ass. Because when I went to bug him about it today, like always, he was curled up under his desk sleeping. Which is the first place everyone looks for him. It’s like he doesn’t even care anymore. Here’s the news:
- Chinese Engrish faux pas are legendary, but Guangming Li’s is so out there, we were all left speechless. You can practically hear the VW execs screaming. New York Times
- Aston Martin’s gorgeous DB9 won the GT1 class at LeMans last year, now some Brits are predicting an outright win in 2009. Top Gear
- Hyundai may not advertise during the Super Bowl after all. Do you think they’ll still have to pay Kevin Federline? Automotive News

Re: the Faux Pas… The Beetle (original) only sold 25,000,000 units? I’m kind of surprised because that basic model was in production for something like 60 years.

While what he said is hard for Americans and others to stomach, objectively, it’s factual, although Ferdinand Porsche deserves more credit than Hitler because if the Beetle wasn’t designed well enough it wouldn’t have been produced for 60 years.

I doubt very much that any other car will break that record or even come close. With long-lived models, all I can come up with is the Wagoneer/Pioneer/Cherokee (1984-1997), and the Checker Marathon but maybe the Morris Oxford has a chance… are they still being built?
