Yes, the drawers are gimmicky, and the price tag is ridiculous, but don't hate on a company because they made a product you didn't like under a different name 10 years ago.

That being said, I wouldn't buy one of these fridges, because a $500 fridge keeps food just as cold as a $3300 fridge.]]>Jul 31st 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/Jul 31st 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/Jul 31st 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/lgs-magical-sliding-fridge-drawers-how-did-we-ever-live-withou/I would take a Nissan GTR in its place, any one really I'm not picky.
