Accelerate Mpls

My friend was recently traveling in Iowa and stumbled upon this very confused Mazda5.  You see apparently the owner thinks it is a Mazda6.  Maybe the owner just wishes it was a Mazda6.  I am not quite sure the reasoning behind this but I thought it was a picture worth sharing.

Update- Someone reminded me that in Iowa the license plate stays with the owner not the vehicle.  Somehow I forgot this minor detail even though I attended college in Iowa.  Regardless this is just silly and now the person who most likely owned a Mazda6 before this Mazda5 now has a goofy license plate.

Episode 12 starts by discussing the past week on both of our respective blogs, AutoBird Blog and AccelerateMpls. The week in review included people buying old GM stock, and the social media at NAIAS along with the my take on the major reveals at NAIAS.  We move along to a new segment we are introducing talking about the major news of the week.  This week included-

• Cadillac CTS Wagon gets a price drop
• Audi suspending A3 production
• The Mini Cooper Countryman
• 2011 Mazda5

We then proceeded to introduce another new segment called clip of the week.  This week we featured the clip of Conan O’Brien using the Bugatti Veyron to get back at NBC.  This was truly a hilarious stunt pulled by Conan.

Last but certaintly not least, we discuss our three main topics.  This week those included the 2011 Buick Regal getting priced, the latest in the string of Toyota recalls, and Honda’s hybrids being behind sales projections.
