Yes, the media sure is biased.  But AoA and corporate Audi share the
blame for an imperious we're-smarter-than-those-dumb-American-drivers
culture that turned a public relations PROBLEM into a public relations
DISASTER because of its arrogance.  Audi devotees like ourselves are
still paying for that, too.
