Default Anyone read Sep 02 edition of MT. ?

to the folks at Motor Trend. If you take a look at page 102 at the September 2002 issue, you see an article comparing the Cadillac Deville DTS to the Lincoln Town Car.

Look carefully at the Cadillac and you will notice that it's front grill badge is missing. Obviously some wannabe rap star stole the badge and is using it as a pendant, however what concerns me, is how a magazine could go to press like this. Yes, I realize, test vehicles have flaws from time to time, but in my opinion, this is just another example of how poorly put together MT is when compared to C&D

Just my 2c

Then why did you buy/read th issue? BTW, there could be numerous reasons for the front grill badge missing, but I agree that C and D is a superior magazine

Umm, actually, that's a feature, not a flaw. See, that's where the Caddy's infrared imaging system operates from. You know, that night-vision stuff they've advertised.

An occasional visit to their web page is about all I can stand of Motor Trend.
