Gee for once something fair and balanced from Fox News.Usually they just ignore the truth and praise Bush. Go figure!I would still never buy anything based soley on a Fox news report.Now if Keith Olberman on MSNBC concurred, well thats a different story.

What? O'Reilly not your cup of tea? I don't watch Fox too often, but I feel their reporting has softened up from praising Bush. There are people I like on CNN and people I like on Fox. Not a fan of Wolf Blitzer (why does he always sound like he's yelling?) and there's one guy on Fox that I don't like, or Gretta, or Renaldo or whatever his name is. I like O'Reilly on occasion, but he just argues to argue a lot. Neil Cavuto though I like.

i cant stand to watch any news. its all ridiculously dumbed down to the point it kills me. the final nail in the coffin is the three/four bullet points that summarize, found at the top of each CNN.com article. cause cletus and bobby-lynn cant read too much lest their heads explode like the martians in mars attacks.

Fox News Article wrote:To do it properly, you need a car with excellent handling, rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. For 2008 the G37 meets all of these criteria, offering a stick-shift option for the first time. Combined with the sport suspension, the top of the line G37 may not be the perfect car to take to the track, but it sure is capable enough if you do.
WTF, the first time offering a "stick shift"??? Tell that to all the guys driving manual transmission G35's.

Cool video, freaking retard writing the article.

I soooooo can't wait for Sunday!!!

The combo of the wires and the new Prima J CD, Crystal bought me (don't bag on the CD or I'll fly to you and rebadge your G into a Hyundai Accent!!!) made me take the last turn into my housing development a little fast and I caught a little power slide

I'm glad I have 2 sets of rears
