Default ARE THERE SPIES AMONG US??? AutoWeek says so... (long)

<img src="http://www.autoweek.com/grafix/newtoplogo.gif">

The 29 July issue--with April's new love-interest Brera on the cover (nice from the front, but not a pretty ***, by the way)--has article "Flies on the wallpaper" on p. 5 with the sub-heading: "Carmakers catch buzz while camping out on enthusiast websites."

AudiWorld not mentioned (sorry, J&amp;J), but vwvortex, mazda (rotarynews.com) and z-car.com are.

Key quote: "Intelliseek (the company that does the 'e-listening') helps corporations act as 'a fly on the wall.'...identifying the most influential voices in chat rooms and on message boards. The company organizes relevant and reliable feedback and provides it to clients seeking information on everything from new vehicle development to what fans of the competition are saying. For example, on a project for Lincoln, Intelliseek found the top complaint of LS owners was a lack of trunk space. People who didn't but the LS said the same thing."

Okay...so who around here do you think qualifies as "most influential voices"...BESIDES OrAnGEMarLin?? (Oh, and Finman, who we already knows works for Audi of America.)

"nice from the front, but not a pretty ***, by the way" What a way to talk!
