The local newspaper has an auto-related section that's mainly ads, with a few "articles" thrown in that are usually puff pieces with a big chunk of their content lifted from manufacturer press releases. Yesterday there was one touting the rollout of the 2013 Accord at a local dealership.
After pointing out that Honda had been facing increased competition from American and Korean sedans, the piece quoted the dealership's sales manager as he proudly touted a new "feature": "Honda's really listened to what the people want. The biggest complaint had been the road noise. They've addressed that by getting rid of the double-wishbone front suspension and going with struts."
I was reminded of H. L. Mencken's definition of democracy as "the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard".
