Yoo Hoo Delta? Are you listening?
It is hard to believe in this day and age that a business hasn’t yet realized the importance of listening, and responding to its customers. Not just the good customers. Heck, like an overachieving child, all they need is a pat on the back to re-assure them that you really care. No, it’s the unhappy, disenfranchised customer you need to pay attention to, because like the angry child,...

An Open Reply to GM's Marketing VP, Susan Docherty
Dear Susan,
Yesterday I received an email from you announcing that GM had repaid all $8.1 billion of its government loans five years ahead of schedule. I did pause for a second after reading your nice note to acknowledge to myself that I was just spammed by GM, since I know that I have never given you permission to contact me. But, understanding the magnitude of your announcement, I won’t...
Ford, The Honeymoon Is Over.
Bells and whistles are great. I love having a fridge in the back seat of my Flex. I love speaking to the nice woman in my dash board who tells me where to go, dials my phone when I ask her to, and finds the song I want to hear. I also love the style and design of the Flex. But none of this matters if the basic functionality of the vehicle, its ability to take you from Point A to Point B, does...

Tunamergency
Years ago I went to the Tokyo Fish Market locally known as Tsukiji. While it’s scale is impressive, what is absolutely overwhelming is the size of the bluefin tuna auction. Imagine 20 rows of tuna laid nose to tail and spanning 2-3 football fields. By 8am all of these fish have been auctioned off and are being carted away to various restaurants throughout Japan. Now imagine that this...

Suzuki's Success Will Hinge On Social Media.
A few days back I received an invitation from Car and Driver to share my opinions and impressions about a handful of mid-sized sedans. The cars in question were the VW Passat, Subaru Legacy, Mercury Milan, Mazda 6 and the Suzuki Kizashi. It quickly became apparent that Suzuki was behind this little Q & A. I have to admit that aside from one review that I read in C and D, my knowledge of the...

Recall, Smecall. Toyota's headed to Number Three.
If you are paying attention to what is being written about Toyota, you might think that they are in serious doo-doo. Afterall, eight million recalled cars, plus or minus a half million or so is a big number. But the actual repair cost is peanuts, estimated between $55-$65 million. And surprisingly, if you take a look at purchase intent for Toyota since the recall, it is actually going up. In a...

Year One With A Ford Flex
Our Ford Flex Limited turns One this week, so I thought it would be a good time to reflect back on the last year we have shared.
Together we have covered 16,000 miles, slightly above the national average, and overall, my impressions remain favorable. I still love the way it looks, and by the number of people who give me a passing thumbs up, I am not alone. For a stylized SUV stretching over 201...

My Favorite Fishing Stories
My Favorite Fishing Stories There is a wonderful fishing quote that I came across a number of years ago is a book whose author is long forgotten, but it sums up my compulsion for fishing: “Fishing is casting a petition into the unknown, and the eternal wonder of it all is that anything could be down there, ready to bite.” That sentiment has kept me casting long after I had...
