9. If you want to go fast, there are plenty of other cars

Why does a car's name have to be synonymous with speed?

The car engineers and designers aren't in the business of making cars few will buy.

These So-called "Fast cars" have died every decade, along with the companies that produced them.

At least Obama saved THIS company from extinction.
