There are people who have so little love of their copious amounts of money they will blow $100s on a bowl of watered down soup. I can not not see this being a natural next step in that.

I’m struggling to think of a relevant metaphor for this but I can’t.

I was not aware Obama had a Twitter account.. He used it either that infrequently and/or that responsibly.

If you mean that they have to be as big as the Germans, at least in mindset, that is not true. LOTS of people buy other luxury brands, Lincoln, Cadillac, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, Genesis, and so on.

No, it is a good idea. But it requires you very deliberately walk away from being a mainstream car maker and, as I said, never look back.

They did not try. They sold out because they left their best fruit on the vine to rot.

The result of fighting your destiny and winning, when it clearly was going to be good. You lose.

That would be great for a lower cost vehicles. But Citroen never should have given up on Hyrdopneumatic suspensions. That was their claim to fame and they should have run with it.

“Good enough for most customers” is just a weak excuse to not try or keep trying and doing.

They did, and did it better. It was called the SM.

“What Villain is in the Evil Space Manger From the Supergirl Finale?”

Citroen needs to make modern versions of the DS and SM. That should have been their “perennial 911", A completely unique car that is just weirdly super effective. Screw it if you end up way up market because they aren’t cheap the build. Let Renault and Peugeot slum it in the mass market.

They could always do more than just make ever more uninteresting cars and find new and aggravating way to not actually sell them.

I realize the optics, what it looks like, are important. That car makers have to look relevant, hip and cool. Fact is right now, that is hard to do that and not because they aren’t car sharing, EV making, forswearing 100+ years of an industry that made them what they are. It is because the customers are just not as…

“Some people never learn. Don’t want none. Don’t start none.” This is the kind of behavior that needs to stamped out in children, when one kid says “Leave me alone,” or, “stop making fun of me,” the adults are supposed to stop it if the kids don’t back down on their own. Of course they won’t unless they are backed…

“Sony’s last real excuse before they just let Disney/MARVEL have them back.”

Looked better then the Freestyle though, didn’t it?

Left out Star Trek (“Leaving Drydock”, STIV Main theme, STVI “Sign off”, Generations), Lord of the Rings, Robocop, Terminator 2, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Journey of the Sorcerer), Battlestar Galactica (Original), Babylon 5, Dune (Main theme or Prophecy), TRON (Original), The Last Starfighter (I am dating…

The C6 Zo6/Zo7 is one of the great Corvettes of all time. Period.
