Goodness gracious, but the re-born Volkswagen Phaeton [as spied by AutoExpress] sure looks like a giant Passat. If anything, it might even be less distinctive than the old version. Because sometimes you have to learn a lesson the hard way. Twice.

Introducing the very latest in stealth technology: the tea towel. Spy photographers will no longer be able to scoop your future product while you're sporting this complex camouflage technology.

Makes sense to have a handy built-in jack to go along with the handy shop rag.

Orange260z In 2007 we drove from Regina SK to LA via Flagstaff, and Las Vegas, returning via Sam Francisco, Reno and Northern NV. The Montana "reasonable and prudent" had been repealed by then, and Montana actually had the slowest highway speeds of our trip.Through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada we were quite surprised to see a steady flow of traffic at speeds of approximately 100mph on I15, I40, and I80, but also Hwy89, Hwy93 and other non-interstate highways. Many of the vehicles doing these speeds were full-size SUVs and pickup trucks - having owned Suburbans and Yukons I get that they are comfortable cruisers at high speed, but good luck braking or swerving at 100mph.Also had a similar experience driving back to Ontario from Dallas TX - much of the daytime interstate traffic was moving in the 85-100mph range (speed limits were generally 70--75mph).
