		<description><![CDATA[By Chris Haak There is more than a little chatter over the past week or two in the autoblogosphere about the Chevy Volt.  Normally, in these media frenzied times, that would be good news for GM&#8217;s environmental halo vehicle, but perhaps there *is* a such thing as bad publicity. You see, the Volt seems to [...]]]></description>

Power and Associates, customers that their firm surveyed reported 351 problems per 100 vehicles with their factory-installed navigation systems.  Put another way, every customer that Power surveyed had 3.5 problems with their navigation system.  Considering that typical &#8220;problem&#8221; rates in the J.D. Power survey are close [...]]]></description>

I’ve long been a driver of useful, involving cars &#8211; the kind of cars with which I felt a bond, as owning each of them made life somehow more enjoyable.
