 Looks like Transport Canada hired a bunch of summer students to really shake up the list.  It used to look like a dog’s breakfast, now it looks like…..(you fill in the words)

We had trouble spending  time trying to find the differences, but if you are buying an Audi or BMW take care.

The latest issue of the Economist contains an article titled

“Not on our Roads”  “Bureaucrats against electric cars and Progress”  —

Now the entire world knows just how backwards Transport Canada really is.  At the same time Harper and his oil backed Conservative Government look like a bunch of “banana republic” hoodlums.  

We have captured the comments to date, take a look at what the rest of the world thinks!

Please Mr. Harper, wake up and make some real changes in the interests of the real people that voted for you!

We were wrong!

chrysler_logo1.gifLooks like we were wrong concerning Chrysler’s web site.  If you look hard enough the prices are displayed and you can build a model in order to try and compare the pricing to the U.S.   We might have jumped the gun too quickly. 

  •  They do,though,  make pricing very difficult.  The site is not very user friendly.  

Thanks to those that pointed out our error in a positive and contructive fashion.  To those that were more aggressive we have an assignment for you.  Please take your negative energies and turn them positive… take the challenge below!

Chrysler thinks Canadians are Mushooms!

Tag: Consumers, DaimlerChryslerRobert Lamb @ 4:03 pm

chrysler_logo.gifAfter announcing big price cuts in Canada this week, Chrysler is treating Canadians just like mushrooms!  They might have lowered their prices, but they disabled the “pricing / build your own car” features on their web site!

That’s right Canadians, they keep us in the dark and throw crap at us!  

Make sure you price out your new Chrysler in the U.S prior to getting sucked in. 

Let us know if their new pricing is real or just another “Honda - sham”.
