WOW, thats a tough one! Yes he did spread some positive about all of our favorite car.

The guy apparently did take the lazy mans way out (welcome to America!), and plagiarism is plagiarism.

THE AP NEVER HEARD OF THIS GUY MOBRIN, THEY DON'T HAVE A SUNDAY DRIVE COLUMN, AND THIS ARTICLE IS APPARANTLY A HOAX!

Thanks for clearing that up. I was suspicious as well, especially when it said "Detroit" and the Detroit News had no cross reference to the article or author. When I came up with zilch from a name search on Goggle, I really got suspcious.

Now for the up-side of this..... I think our hoaxster put into words what many of us believe - that Porsche has the bloodline but Honda has the answer.
