Car Domain's Dirty Trick
So recently I put a listing for our new Pontiac GTO up on Car Domain. Notice those blue, double-underlined words? I didn’t put them there—they were links added sometime within the last day or so (presumably) by Car Domain itself.

Johnson, auto analyst at Barclays Capital, said the gas pedal problem could reveal a danger of global parts sourcing. ‘Toyota is known for using the same parts design across multiple cars and factories and countries,’ he said, ‘which everyone is trying to emulate because it gives you economies of scale. What this shows is one of the risks of that strategy. When...
