"Our research highlights a huge misperception among consumers: that the interior condition of a car has less importance than the exterior appearance in terms of residual value," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and market analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Cars in excellent condition and appearance — both inside and outside — can be valued thousands of dollars higher than those in good or fair condition."

"With people spending more time in their vehicles, the number of dashboard diners has also increased. The dirty little secret? Messy interiors could potentially cost owners thousands of dollars when it comes time to turn in or sell their vehicles," Nerad said.

Innovative companies like Taco Bell are creating solutions for diners on the go with mess-free products like the Crunchwrap Supreme(tm), while leading automotive companies are developing stain-resistant seats and interiors that can be hosed out.

"Our guests tell us they want products that better facilitate their busy, on-the-go lifestyle," said Bill Pearce, chief marketing officer of Taco Bell Corp. "With this in mind, and the fact that drive-thru accounts for nearly 70 percent of our business, we have created a portable product that's easy to eat in the car. Crunchwrap Supreme is the classic Taco Bell taste made modern, and its benefit is being able to eat it, not wear it."

Let me be clear. NOTHING is being moderated, post whatever you like, start any threads you like. Talk about tacos, I'm sure someone here wants to:) ...........
 
I can't believe it took 25 posts for someone to remember that. That's the first thing I thought of last night when he started the thread. I just laughed and decided to ignore it. I couldn't believe how much it had grown by tonight!
 
Hey y'all... long time reader, first time poster. ;-)

What's really funny about this thread is that I found it USEFUL. Knowing up front how easy it is to stain/clean the interior of the leaf has an impact on how much of a (insert appropriate negative term here) I would have to be about people eating food in the car. Sounds like "not too much", though I have had hot wings in sauce strong enough to eat through leather. However, I don't know of anyone crazy enough to eat hot wings in a car NOW. :p

That brings up another point. SInce Taco Bell meat is not really meat but some recycled soy product, and they LEAF seats may have soy products since many recycled plastics do, will the two react and melt? Like mercury on aluminum. Perhaps I should go to Jack in The Box instead? Wait, they sell tacos there too, mystery tacos with soy I bet! Or is it Friskies Buffet?


Taco Bell has issued a statement in the Wall Street Journal regarding EVDrivers post. It can be found here...
