@smartstep "Tie player shops with some kind of search-like engine" - so what will be difference between this and the AH, then? Except adding in a useless timesink of extra travel between individual shops (which majority of people will not enjoy)?

Not everyone cares about cosmetics (or like you said "high grade appeal") of their cars. I know that might be shocking to you, but some people actually buy cars to enjoy other aspects, like performance, handling, interior comfort, and so on.

"the GLK SUV was far below average" - our 2010 GLK had 0 issues since day 1, all the people I personally know with GLK's had no issues whatsoever with it, and if you'll actually read a couple of Mercedes-related forums there are very, very few people who had issues with their GLK's, unlike just about every other Mercedes model... But hey, it's "Consumer Reports", where they randomly create random data just for about every article/press release...

Infiniti is moving in the right direction with this model, and I especially like how they left the same exact A/T even on this "budget" model (unlike BMW with their inferior A/T on 328i, which is different than the A/T on 335i even though it has same number of gears). However, I'm somewhat disappointed that the Navigation system isn't even an option - sure I can buy a (much superior) Garmin portable unit for all my navigation needs but I'd rather use a much better screen to control the various car's options not related to navigation.

teh toilet won't have a transparent door, so no, nobody will see you while you're in there

What you see is just a concept drawing/movie, in reality toilet cabin will have a proper enclosure with a door and forced ventilation (exhaust fan), same goes for shower cabin.

Yea, I remember receiving the similar letter from Echostar a long time ago for buying a SmartCard programmer (to test teh smartcard authorization feature in Win2k) from an online store which was later raided by the police and then closed permanently... Just threw the letter into garbage and never heard from EchoStar again.

"not great"? Compared to what, the same model with pure gasoline engine? By looking at EPA's data I'd have to disagree - the current 2008 Cayenne with smallest engine gets a 16MPG average (and 14MPG in city cycle):

Such thing will work properly, you'll just have to read teh instructions more carefully where there will be said (in a very tiny, barely visible print) something like "for best results, use detergent" or "in order for the magic process of separating ions to work properly, you must add our "special secret formula" every time you use your machine (obviously the "secret formula" will be a generic, unlabeled detergent)" :-P
