Ferrari doesn’t make performance SUV’s.

I like nice clean lines, but the currently generation of BMW look like the German version of Pontiac. The multiple vents on top of vents, grilles with 25 different lines look cheap.

I would not be surprised if this was their own making. I can see a time where American manufacturers lobbied for different standards to keep foreign manufacturers out.

As far as I know, the cars were abused quite a bit. The older cars were used for long shots and stunts, whereas the newer cars were used for closeups.

Actually, throughout the life of the show, they used a 79, 81 and 83. You can spot the small differences from season to season.

Pfff.... I can get mine stock on that tree within 3 seconds...

These should be the 11th and 12th commandments.

What about Ferrari or McLaren? They are team shirts, just like the LA Dodgers, Seattle Seahawks, etc. Nobody questions ownership if you wear a team jersey.

Isn’t the CLA the sedan that competes directly against the A3?

Not only that, but I bet he complains that “the manufacturers do not make the cars I want”. Well, that happens when you do not buy from them.

Maybe we should pay in kind with some nostalgic pro-soviet era propaganda.

We make money. Why do you assume that we do not?

Way to assume incirretly right there buddy. I work for one of the largest construction companies in the world. You do not get there by loosing money. Also large part of our clients are government agencies. So yes, i have seen the waste there.

Not sure if sarcasm.

I have yet to come across this mythical super efficient, no-waste, reduced paperwork company everybody talks about.

I really do not think the “like being debt slaves”. Probably they have no other choice. If salaries increase, chances are they will get normal loans.

Yes, the price to pay to find out that the part was defective can be quite high.

But it can have its advantages. There is an understanding that they will be using OEM parts, with guaranty, they assume the liability (ignoring horror stories), they may have a loaner car for you to use, generally a more pleasant place to be, etc. Some dealerships are not even that much more expensive that independent…

Not only that. How in the world do they manage to screw up their numeric advantage AND the element of surprise.

Not only that. You can bet the dealership is going to sue the bail bonds company.
