Your recent article entitled, "Confessions of a Car Salesman - Edmunds Undercover" was great reading. Virtually everyone that I shared it with had the same opinion - fascinating and enlightening. One individual commented that it read like a "dark, brooding vampire novel." Great journalism, and a prime example of why Edmunds is THE primary source of automobile information on the Web.
