I spoke to him a few months ago. I just shot him another email to see how he and Goat are doing 
Yea, I think it was something crazy like this. I don't know all the details though.

I know I'm a bit late to the party... but is anyone else amazed that this Lamborghini crossed over that grass median, into oncoming traffic, and hit a 2013 GTR?! Out of ALL the cars in the world it could have possibly hit... those two cars were on the same highway at the same time. I know they aren't too un-common in FLa, but I just found that pretty mind boggling.

So the Cherokee's headlights are split? LEDs and turn indicator on top and headlight bulb on the bottom?
Hmm, seems to me that Jeep is trying to be competitive with the styling of the new Escape.
And I cannot believe the Cherokee is built on a car platform. No off-roading capabilities? For a Jeep?

It has been released, though. There have been quite a few people who have seen the final production model & posted pictures, along with Porsche's brochure.
The only thing to release is when the first customer car rolls off the line.

Honda Pouring $1 Billion Into Acura — Can It Recover OR Should Honda Save Its Check?

Though we've been accused of having a bias against Acura/Honda for quite sometime now, it seems that the truth is beginning to come out in the mainstream.
Some posters may not want to believe it but it appears that Honda — Acura's parent company — is sending it a $1 billion dollar check to keep things afloat.
Probably my favorite part in the Bloomberg piece is when the reporter speaks with a former TL owner who says:
“The Acura was a good car, but the ride was pretty rough and the styling was terrible, with a big duck bill on the front end,” said Durgin, 48. “It seems like Acura has lost its way.”
Guess what he replaced the TL with? A Hyundai Genesis.
So, are YOU surprised?
Acura’s future was so dire four years ago that Honda Motor Co. (HMC) began killing models and choking off product development. Now, Honda is putting $1 billion into its luxury brand, a perennial also-ran to Toyota Motor Corp. (TM)’s Lexus line.
