Ford CEO Hits Today Show, Says Nothing

Ray Wert — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:40:00 EDT

Ford CEO Alan Mulally was up early for a Today Show interview in New York with NBC's Matt Lauer. Lauer fearlessly probed Mulally, peppering him with a slew questions. Smiling like a Cheshire cat, Mulally non-answered every one of them. More »

Transportation officials in Texas are "scrambling" to stop the "hacking electronic traffic signs" threat. Didn't we tell you not to play with the electronic road signs? This is why we can't have anything nice. More »

John McCain Thinks We'll Have 100-Mile-Per-Charge Batteries By Election?

Ray Wert — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:20:00 EDT

So we had the Today Show on in the background this morning while getting ready to run over to NPR when we heard some story about gas prices. We glanced up and noticed a guy who looked exactly like John McCain talking to Matt Lauer. We mean, it looked like McCain, it sounded like McCain — he even moved his cheeks like McCain! But the words coming from his mouth were like those from a crazy man. This nutty doppelgänger told Lauer he thought the possibility existed that we could have a car battery capable of running a car for...wait for it...100 miles on one charge. By November. And, of course, that this new "magic superbattery" would change the gas prices game. Huh? Wait. What? Does he know something we don't? Who is this crazy old coot? We've got the transcript below from the above clip — judge for yourself. More »

Today Show Takes GPS Testing Seriously

Travis Hudson — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:00:00 EST

Okay, we know Boston is a tough place for GPS navigation units, but we didn't know it was this tough. This morning, the Today Show pitted three drivers against each other using three different GPS navigation units from TomTom, Garmin and Magellan navigating in Boston. It seemed like a simple test, but Greg John, the driver using the TomTom needed to make it apparent he won by flipping the bird to WHDH anchor, Adam Williams after his victory. Greg John must have a lot of pent-up anger from having two first names. It's okay, buddy, it's just GPS, no need to be so hateful. More »

The Today Show's Looking For Hot Fun In The Summer Time; Drops The Top On Four Convertibles

Ray Wert — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 11:49:21 EDT

NBC's Today Show took a few minutes on Monday to talk about the hot temperatures — and some hot convertibles. They brought out Car & Driver Editor-in-Chief Csaba Csere — driving out a Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500, a Saturn Sky, a Volvo C70 with a bit of a hard-on top for Anne Cury to drive, and finally a Lambo Gallardo Spyder. Also, don't miss out on the "history of convertibles" at the top of the segment. Glad to see Matt got over his "I hate American cars" thing he had going a little while back — plus Csaba's looking as excited as always. More »

Toyota's As American As Apple Pie: So Sayeth the 'Today Show'

Ray Wert — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 13:14:35 EDT

The 'Today Show' ran a nice little piece this morning on the "fact" that foreign automakers are just as "American" as can be — and yet again we're wondering if the mainstream media ever does their homework on these pieces or if they do — what's their litmus test for what makes a company "American." We feel like maybe we've got to give them a little primer so they've got the right notes for next time. More »
