Copied:
"•No hood. The front end is designed as one large section, meant to be
lifted only by the mechanic. The reasoning is women don't want to be
bothered with maintenance, and the car is designed to be virtually
maintenance free (oil change every 50,000 kilometers, or about 31,000
miles). When the car needs servicing, it sends a wireless (news - web
sites) message to a local service station, which will contact the owner
and schedule an appointment."


Pretty scary thinking and just plain dumb! Who'ld want something like that? If a woman doesn't want to open the hood, why then would she? Most don't now anyway so where's the problem?
