I think you are misusing the word trivial here. The level of engineering has made these sorts of speeds seem trivial but i assure you they are not.

You seem to be conflating the driver with the vehicle here. Building any car today en masse is no trivial matter. It is incredibly complex and expensive to do. Just because you can buy one at a dealership and press down on the throttle does make its manufacture trivial.

And this is a minority stake, in a company that is not exactly performing well, at least by market standards. Things were much more severe for several other very large US auto manufacturers in 2008, which the Federal Government actually owned virtually outright.

Of course, the amusing irony is that of conservatives using a state owned company as a strategy.

Clearly the company wanted to be clever, ironic, or get free publicity by hiring Chris Martinâ(TM)s ex wife. Regardless, I donâ(TM)t even understand the point. There is no connection between a cheating CEO and a happily divorced woman. They must have thrown a large amount of money at Gwyneth for her to do this ad, but it fails to be clever in any humorous way. The media sure likes it, though. Why? Probably because they were paid to.
