Hate can sometimes be a very good thing. In the right hands, it’s an agent of change, it makes us speak up and act out against the things that we know are wrong. Since so many news articles this week involve it in one way or another, we thought we’d dedicate this week’s episode of SSL Radio to hate. It’s not all anger this week, we start off with the immensely powerful Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Edition and the Alfa Romeo 8C GTA, and towards the end of the podcast we talk about some of the manufacturers that are still doing well during the current sales drought and Fiat making a wonderful new deal with BMW. Aside from that, there’s a whole bunch of bad news about the Chevrolet Volt, Hummer thinks that now is a great moment to debut the H3T, and Lexus is killing off the SC430 (although, if you can’t tell, I happen to think that we should throw a freaking party over that bit of news). Also, in the place of Useless Automotive Tchotchke this week, we have an extended rant about fanboy baiting and journalistic integrity, so if you like that sort of thing, the last one-third of the podcast will be a special treat. Share and Enjoy™.
