1. Will Dyson's cars suck?
His vacuums do!

2. Really? I've never used one.
It's just strange that he sells so many of them at super-premium prices if they don't work.

BTW, my $40 cheapie vacuum works great, but I'm not obsessive about vacuuming.

4. I don't mean to speak for the previous poster
Edited on Sun Jun-22-08 03:37 PM by Blue_In_AK
but my guess is he/she means they "really" suck, as in their suction is fantastic. I love my Dyson vacuum cleaner - it was worth every penny.

My apologies, SheepTramp, if that isn't what you meant.

9. Maybe they'll do the opposite and
blow? Come to think of it that could mean one and the same thing to some people. :rofl:

3. If Dyson makes as good a car
as they do a vacuum cleaner, I'm in. My Dyson Animal is the best vacuum cleaner I've ever owned.

7. Electric cars are great--! See movie: "Who Killed The Electric Car?"
They were on the roads in CA during late 1990's and early 2000 --

GM would only LEASE them ---

finally recalled all of them --- 4-5 thousand?

and CRUSHED them all!!!

The people who had them ALL wanted to buy them --- they refused!

8. His vacuums are the most expensive on the market.
I hope his cars aren't.
