We understand why Onion News Network anchor Brandon Armstrong is arguing so passionately for the existence of flying cars and it may seem mean for GM, Ford and Toyota to dash his hopes so stupendously — but Brandon's barking up the wrong tree. If Brandon covered the cult of cars as obsessively as we do, he's know all too well there aren't any flying cars in the secret labs of GM, Ford or Toyota. It's Honda that has all of them. Silly Brandon Armstrong — such an auto industry n00b. (Hat tip to Tony!)

Where we're going, we don't need roads.
No "who killed the flying car?" jokes?
Only an evil corporation as big as GM could kill the flying car...
Damn evil big corporations...
Flying car sweetness-Can you imagine your average driver actually in one of these? I mean, some people can't even handle driving an automatic with radar cruise control...I don't even want to think what they'd be like behind a flying car's yoke and a couple miles in the sky!
Ironically, Ford sponsored the clip.
'Sean Yamashita' of Toyota. Its the little details that keep me going back to The Onion. Only I always have to watch those clips twice; once just to read the crawl.
HondaJet does not equal flying car any more than Honda lawnmower equals CarMower. But I suppose you have poetic license.
@rkwadd: Yes, I do. ;)
@xNissan.Freakx: Darwin would weed them out very quickly.
God bless the Onion!
