In response to Kevin Provost's post, "Do you think if Dodge threw some big gulp cup holders and an automatic transmission in the Dart that it would sell more units?"

I completely believe that they would have. In America the majority of cars that people drive are automatic transmissions. The car isn't targeted to be bought buy americans. It is targeted to be bought by Europeans. Americans, for the most part, aren't going to buy a European style car. They would have to make it more for americans, which would be throwing in an automatic transmission and the big gulp cup holders. Sports cars don;t sell well in america, and the Dodge Dart is just an example of one car that should sell more but won't because of how our society is. When looking for a new car, what is most important to you?

The technology we have today makes it a lot easier for anyone to put their name out there and get famous. A couple of  famous singers already have posted a video of them on youtube and have gotten a record deal because of it. Singers such as Justin Bieber and Carley Rae Jepsen started their careers through advertising themselves on a free public website for anyone to see. The type of marketing and advertisement changes constantly the more evolved we get as a society. Ten years ago no one got famous by putting a video of themselves on the internet. Now people can make millions of dollars by putting their name out there and getting the right person to contact them. Does the ability to get famous lose its credibility because of the internet?
