• The most verbose press release of the year so far – The Kia K4
Are young people still embarrassed by the car that they are driven to school in?
• Is it the car or the parents?
• For my son there were only a few cars that I could drive him to school in. I developed a key measure of the street cred of a vehicle “The Matthew Brown will you drive me to school in that car” factor.
Road Test – Nissan Juke
• It’s classified as an SUV!
• We asked a young intern what he thought the market for the vehicle is and how would he advertise it.
New vehicle efficiency standard
• It is a step in the right direction but compromises by powerful manufacturers have made it a shuffle rather than a stride
