That my friends is because its super fly to drive a Buick if you are a Chinese party official. I'm not hot on GM or Toyota personally. Being the biggest just means you cater to the appliance buyers rather than passionate drivers.

Any deal with North Korea is a deal with the devil. We will have to wait and see if this really leads to NK giving up its nukes. Since the priority of the US was to get the NKs to give up their nuke program they couldn't allow the abduction…
