Believe it or not, dear readers, but every once in a while I’m able to take a break from my grueling routine here at TTAC and contribute to another publication. Not often, mind you, as I’ve written an average of four stories per day seven days per week in the three and a half years I’ve been writing for TTAC, but every now and then. Anyway, tomorrow is just such a time, as my review of American Wheels, Chinese Roads: The Story of General Motors in China will be featured in tomorrow’s Wall Street Journal.
The book itself is fascinating and a fantastic introduction to the Chinese auto business… and it even led me to dig into the GM-SAIC relationship, which in turn led me to this story. But if you don’t have a WSJ subscription and you can’t find a paper copy, fear not: an even more in-depth review of the book will be published here at TTAC, written by our own in-house China expert, Bertel Schmitt. So stay tuned for that, and in the meantime get your TTAC-in-the-MSM fix by checking out Davey G. Johnson’s C&D piece on a road trip in a Mercedes 6.9 that he borrowed from the infamous Doctor V8, also known as Sanjay Mehta, brother of our own Sajeev Mehta and recent Bugatti Veyron road tester for TTAC. Plus, there’s another TTAC-meets-the-big-time-media story coming down the line, so be on the look out for that. For a teensy little family blog, we sure do get around!
Great stuff — congratulations! Keep up the good work!
Ah, yes.
When better cars are built, Buick will build them… in China.

Edward, why do you bother with the Wall Street Journal?, it was once a great paper, it is awful now.
TTAC does a way better job than WSJ or Forbes for that matter.
I look at you guys daily, I do not believe one word written in that paper anymore.
The WSJ’s reach far exceeds that of our little family publication.
Edward’s contribution will make things better, not worse.
Publication in the Wall Street Journal is a huge feather in this website’s and Ed’s cap. Congratulations to both.
Great job, Edward! You must type your fingers raw and it is appreciated!
I’m sure you’ll have done us proud.
Well Done Ed!!!
WSj isnt that a Mubdoch rag well done Ed your piece should improve that publication no end
OK, OK fine, I will leave the WSJ alone-I just wanted to remind everybody what they say about newspapers: “everything you read in a newspaper is correct until you read an article on a subject you know something about”
