How about ALLLL those problems that California reportedly has...border problems, money problems, prison problems, welfare problems... Just stating possible examples that may be better focal points, not meaning to single out California.

Why pick a car to focus on? How is ripping a FUN, AMERICAN icon that he has no understanding of going to benefit anything?

That's fine, everyone has a right to their thoughts but I find it extremely misdirected and I see no way to change the author's perspectives on it, even with logic and fact. I am done putting focus on his article myself, and moving on with my life, looking forward to enjoying my new Camaro.

The sad part is that the SF Chronicle hosts the San Francisco International Auto Show each November. You'd think they have real car people and understand the automotive industry. Fortunately for those of us living in the SF Bay Area we have the San Jose Mercury and their affiliate papers, which have a Friday "Drive" section that does a halfway decent job of covering the automotive industry. Not the best, but certainly they understand auto enthusiasts.

At least it got me to get up close and personable with the Malibu and Silverado/Tahoe and I have to say I was impressed.
