Car reviewers should be required to include the make/model of what's sitting in their garage.

Sounds like this guy's driving a Buick LeSabre.

A prime example of why I like the Dallas Business Journal, the next business day after I sent this e-mail to them the author of this column sent me this e-mail:

Dear Jeremy:
Thanks for your note about the S2000 review.
Wanted to ask if we could use it as a "Letter to the Editor" in the 6/29
issue.
If so, please let me know by Tuesday a.m.
Thanks again for your interest in the DBJ and the car column.
Best,
Glenn

Well see if they take what I said out of context or actually use it in its entirety.

From my eye's experience with being at the factory, the only things that are not done by hand are SOME of the painting and there are maybe 2 welding robots on the assembly line. Everything else is hand assembled. To the degree that the motor is hand built, I don't know. The motors arrived at Takanezawa already assembled.

Good response, stocks2k.

Another thing I find erroneous is that the S2000 is $9K more than a MR2 Spyder. I see used MR2 Spyder's in the upper $20's so I'm guessing his math isn't so good either.
