    Re-read the last line of the article.

    "The salesman was able to get out of the car when it slowed at a tollbooth near the Massachusetts state line."

    If he followed I-90 all the way to WI, then he traveled through the NY, OH, and IL tollways. They all have security cameras, so it's a wonder no one stopped him or even put out a bulletin on the car. They only pulled him over because he was driving erratically. Law enforcement communication fail? #lolcars

    @homeslice60148: ***"The salesman was able to get out of the car when it slowed at a tollbooth near the Massachusetts state line."***

    Well, WTF did he want to get out of it there for? Didn't he realize that if he had waited just a few miles later he could've made it to freedom? #lolcars

    What car goes 1,000 miles without refueling? The sales guy jumped out at a turnpike, but couldn't do it at the gas station? I am calling BS. #lolcars

    @SloW8: If you actually read the article, you'd see that the salesman got out of the car at a toll booth in Massachusetts, and the guy THEN drove 1,000 miles to Wisconsin. #lolcars

    I hope it was a hybrid. Otherwise the gas bill is going to hurt worse than the jail time. #lolcars

    the question is why would anyone want to drive a honda that far. If you're going to get a grand theft auto on your record you might as well do it in style #lolcars

    @e30m3: Yea really....if you are going to get arrested for GTA, at least go steal a Ferrari, Lamborgini, Lotus, Mercedes, Yugo, Porsche, or Bugatti; at least make it worth your while.

    I wonder - what's a good car for someone who want's to be high up to see around parked cars and is also affordable? Anything?

    @farcast: Nothing, because you can't see around anything with dark-tinted glass.
    If all cars were about the same height, though, it'd be more fair...

    Want to get rid of the ugly wood? Choose the grey interior instead of the tan, and you get black ash instead. I don't really care if it's "tech" or not; I just think brown wood in an interior without any other brown looks horribly ugly.

    It's amazing the technological innovations that arise when engineers are confronted with a problem to work around like "people like to sit high up". But when said innovations result in a pricetag of 43-55K, it's clear they aren't for me.
    Next problem they should address: How can we make cars safer and more effective at wheelstands?

    To me this car epitomizes what's wrong with so many cars today. Big and bloated and then overwrought with technology in an attempt to make up for all the mass. And that center console is a confusing clutter of buttons. Let's not even get into the awful looking grille.

    you know how there are cars that come out and you don't like them at first... but eventually... those looks start to grow on you? and you end up really liking the looks of the car?
    this is not one of those cars.
