When the day approaches, however, you notice that the commercial has changed slightly and the picture only shows two slices of onion and they are white! <gasp>

It would be unreasonable to think that you should be able to demand a five-cent discount when you go to buy one because it doesn't match your earlier vision of the burger but it would be simply ridiculous for someone else to suggest that you should should prostrate yourself at the feet of some fast-food magnate for honoring you with the privilege of buying their burger.

Or am I missing something here?
If burgers were actually made like you see them on tv or in print, I'd eat fast food WAY more. Thank you for reminding me that I shouldn't have relied on marketing materials to believe what would be in the car.

So are you saying those who did pre-order without test driving the car were stupid? Who said it wasn't a great car?

On this whole subject. I've never followed a car to production like this. I'm sure some have. And I'm sure some were disapointed in certain things. But I'm sure those same some............I guess that worked.............loved it when they got it.

I agree. I don't know why everyone wants the lights on while they're driving anyways. Even a stereo head unit that's too bright at night annoys me.

Trust me, GM will not make this car look "bad" at all. Relax, people.

Stop assuming that you know all, and know what it will look like, and already decided that it's hideously ugly. Because, you know what happens when you ASSUME things...

There should have been no expectations about ABL... I don't believe it was in any literature, or on any website, or promoted by GM. All the info and pictures came from leaked information, right? So you're not getting anything you weren't originally supposed to or paid for. If this was any other car, they could have scrapped it any no one would have known. I guarantee this is the last time GM or any car maker provides or discusses so much information about a car before it's released...bites them in the ass when people beat it to death.
