"With GM extending the lifecycle on its current trucks and looking to sell Hummer, and with Toyota laying off workers at the Tundra plant, it's nice to see someone isn't letting $4.50 gas deter them from spending money developing new fuel hungry monster-vehicles. Ford should make a mint off of these, since they'll have the market entirely to themselves. I wonder how that hybrid Fusion is coming?"

"@Ash78: From a similar libertarian perspective, my feeling is that yes, he's the leader of a sporting organization and may do whatever he likes with his private life. At the same time, other members of the sporting organization, and the public that ultimately consumes the product that the sporting organization helps to promote, are equally free to make decisions about whom to associate with."

Preferredcustomer commented on What's The Worst Example Of Brand Dilution?

"I think you've got to distinguish between "brand dilution" and "crappy products." The Cimarron was a craptacular piece of crap that oozed crappiness from every craphole, but the idea of a small luxury car didn't really dilute Cadillac's brand; put another way, had the Cimarron been a decent product, it would have fit right in. Real "brand dilution" is when you make a product that, no matter how well executed, is so off-message for your brand that it takes you to a place you don't want to be."
