Back in February I wrote about a New York Times article telling how Dubai was failing. In fact, I believe the words "flee" and "spiral down" were in the title (see NY Times On Dubai).

The article also quoted local newspaper reports of 3000 cars abandoned at Dubai's airport.

Shortly thereafter the UAE drafted a new "media law" aimed at punishing media organizations that report news that "harms the country's economy."

Needless to say, Human Rights Watch isn't a fan of the new law.

Anyway, I bring all of this up because guess what's in today's issue of Abu Dhabi's paper The National?

"Abandoned, the dream cars of Dubai".

Hmm.
