While the BBCA website says we've just done Series 7, they number the TG series different from the rest of the world.

BBCA broadcast Series 12 {ending with the Vietnam special ...

... earlier this year, and immediately before that they broadcast Series 11 {the Bullet Train special.

Not quite sure what the rest of the world is calling the 'Series 7' that BBCA just broadcast to the USA that ended this week ...
Maybe Chrysler can aspire to be the new Mercury, then work its way up to Lincoln before it goes bankrupt and is sold to another multi-national corpororation. Cadillac? Not with its current reputation, as the people who remember back when Chrysler made luxo cars are in a home or are waiting parting-out via their living wills. markf
There was a crash in 2007? Odd considering the billions in profit Toyota made that year. The crash of 08-09, well, that is another matter. markf
I work in Baltimore. At a max speed of 25 mph the battery pack can practically be boosted by the good citizenship on the fly, but of course the driver won't notice the $35K Maya is w/o power since it is utterly gutless even with a functional motor and can't drive on many of the larger Balt streets due to the speed limiter. A monumental fail. markf
I got a 10% rebate on a 2008 leftover / zero miles Smart Cabriolet at the Germantown MD dealer in March 09. At the time they had 9-10 cars of different models with rebates. I'll be going back there soon for the tranmission reflash which in thoery makes shifting smoother, but I'm not holding my breath. markf
Ah, the Cadillac Cimarron returns. Some awful ideas will not die. Welcome to the new GM.
Not certain about 'impressive' stability - it was not going that fast, and the tires are not built for handling so they'll whine at relatively low speeds compared to even small economy cars. Did you notice how much the car/camera bounced from left to right (not up & down or back & forth) on the straights of what looked like smooth residential streets - hopefully they'll work out the ride issues prior to final production. markf
While not a 4 door, there is a Smart Fortwo aftermarket accessory called a hatch extender to give the car nearly the cubic ft of a 4 door. A true 4 door is a much better idea considering the $5k installed price of the 'ass extender' accessory. markf

Must be a mighty slow news day. mf
I'll bet the Nissan dealers also opposed to the absence too. mf
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
