Hemi, I disagree. The spokesperson was definitely in a tight spot--her job is speaking for GM, after all!!--and she handled the situation with humor and at least a little intelligence. The "obviously not you" crack was a joke, and played on the "Tappet Brothers" somewhat rough sense of humor. (Did you notice the unending mountain of affectionate grief they kept throwing at each other?) Which was a very good way of deflecting the question and not answering it.
After all, we all know that nobody

want 500 HP--more than enough peopel to sell those vehicles at a profit.
