I like this news....
After marketing its sporty Eclipse coupe to 20-something slacker types through a mix of ultrahip ads and zero-percent financing, Mitsubishi Motors announces a $469 million loss from loan defaults. New CEO Rolf Eckrodt says the company's mistake was "aiming at customers interested in products which are lifestyle-oriented and emotional and cool." The fix? Aiming at customers with money. The move looks good on paper—just not the paper on which the company's books are kept. After tightening up credit requirements, Eclipse sales fall by 48 percent, forcing Mitsubishi to spend another $432 million to clear out unsold inventory.
Any bad news for the Eclipse is good news for me. |

#1, "Any bad news for the Eclipse is good news for me."
Ditto. That's the only car I really detest, and that was BEFORE one attempted to murder me. :) |

| #8 - Just to be on the safe side, let's also lose the jack, the fuel pump, and the four-stroke engine. In Canada, General Motors is forced to come up with a new name for its Buick LaCrosse sedan after discovering that crosse is a slang term for masturbation in Quebec. |

| There's a LOT of offenses by McDonald's in this list. Glad I don't eat there anymore, EVER. |
