Haute Couture

OK, so while the US economy continues to make strides to get out of our current recession and financial crisis, highlighted yesterday by the bankruptcy filing by GM, it seems our European friends in France must have things in high gear.  A new report out shows that new cars are the latest thing in haute couture, unlike here in America where it has now become trendy to own a vehicle that is 3 years of age or older!  Are the French ahead of the curve or are they foolish in their ways?  Another mystery making news today is the announcement that GM has supposedly sold Hummer to an undisclosed buyer and will continue making Hummers until the new owners take over, sometime in 2010.  Well, if I were to make a guess, I would suspect that the new owner is not French!
