 * Keep Notable issue with real-world ramifications, backed up by reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 18:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable; had a great deal of media attention. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. If Wikipedia can't write about controversy at all, well, we could always have create lists of tire inflation ratios or something. Seriously, this was wall-to-wall coverage for a few weeks and then long legal and other ramifications for months afterward. The sources are insufficient to really demonstrate this fact, though. --Dhartung | Talk 04:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Massive notability via lots of news coverage and legal debate + lots of reliable sources + BEFORE and DEL stating that an article that can be improved through editing isn't a good candidate for deletion = Strong keep. Celarnor Talk to me  08:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and wikify. Sometimes people mistakes Afd for clean-up. If this article is not good, wikify it. This article has massive notability: many magazines, lots of coverage, every automobile site has this story in your archives. Zero Kitsune (talk) 00:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
