Home Alone Too
Our dear leader, Ed Niedermeyer, is in an undisclosed location to fill the TTAC hopper of car reviews. On Wednesday and Thursday, he’ll be putting several new cars through their paces while taking notes. (Ray LaHood: You didn’t hear that.) Which means: We are home alone.
For two days, the reporting will be a bit heavy on the foreign part due to the fact that the Overseas Editor edits from Overseas. We beg your indulgence.
We’ll also make it up with bitchen car reviews. (TTAC correspondents: Please send your posts to me if you want them to appear before daddy is back.)
In the meantime, let’s play a game. Which of the following car makers has Ed critiquing their latest products?
A.) Ford
B.) Hyundai
C.) Toyota
D.) Chrysler
E.) GM
F.) Tesla
First to guess will be crowned “Grand Wizard Of TTAC ESP” – after Ed is back

You said don't tell Ray LaHood, so... Toyota?
It is Grand Cherokee...in Northern California...and it got hit with the uglystick. I love Clue.
Trick choices. He's been spotted on the Interstate with a Coors Long Neck in the cup holder, two-finger steering with fine Cuban in hand, and an arm around a very buxum beauty in a 650i Bimmer convertable tricked-out to 100-long. I'm looking forward to the review.
I'm going with Tesla, since it's the last option I could still be first at if correct.
