It must kill the serious folks at Saab to be put into such lightweight hands. That is one typical example of the danger of the media.

My post on Edmunds.com...

In the Aero Test, Ms. Richens asks: "Would you rather drive (and pay for) an athletically gifted A-student with a graduate degree or a flighty C-student who aspires to attend art school and grow his own food in Northern California?"

Perhaps Edmunds should consider this weighty question when screening future road testers. What has Edmunds purchased and employed for its readers?

Ms. Richerns' bio (posted at http://www.edmunds.com/help/about/editors.html) speaks for itself:

"After graduating from a college in Memphis, Erin... came to California to pursue delusions of fame and grandeur... Eight months later, while still waiting to be noticed, she happened upon an ad for an Editorial Assistant who could drive a manual and eagerly threw together a cover letter full of sweet nothings and somehow landed the job... Erin readily admits that her background is not automotive in the least -- her parents owned a Fiat and a Pinto concurrently in the late 1970s and she probably paid too much for the aged Camry. But she reads and drives everyday and drags just enough of her job home each night to sicken her partner. Besides vehicles, her interests tend toward books, cake, fragmented films and vegetables.

Erin drives a 1995 Nissan 240SX equipped with an automatic transmission."

Stunning. Doesn't take an A-student to see the irony.

Also noteworthy... Memphis is one of the country's great blues & bbq towns, and this one prefers movies, cakes and veggies. Oh-KAY...

The power, reach, and "credibility" of the media is staggering.

Aim higher, Edmunds. You underestimate your C-student readers.
