Porsche's German leadership team in Stuttgart has just announced the appointment of a new minister of all things Bruce to run Porsche's Germans in Atlanta.

Rocker Bryan Adams did the honors of singing and playing his acoustic guitar at the Audi press conference today. My colleague, Jon Linkov, noted that this entertainment made the presentation much livelier than what he saw at BMW. "Except for the dancers," said Linkov. "I don't know where BMW found them, but these karate-like experts were unbelievable...and much more energetic than the presenters."
