But in this case the Cobalt Van/Washing machine is sold under the premise
that you do NOT need to know how to drive it.

If the sales hype and owners manuals for automobiles in the US were
written with the same concern, care and accuracy as the Sun/Cobalt stuff,
there would be no General Motors, Ford or Chysler...they would have either
gone out of business because their customer base disappeared, or the legal
costs of defending their position would have bankrupt them.
