Looked it up. No restrictions on vertical “minimum pricing restrictions”. Especially for company owned stores. Which I thought they all were.

In other parts of the world, Lexuses are just Toyota models with an upscale option package. The brand literally doesn’t exist outside North America.

Instead of getting rid of Buick, GM doubled down and created a permanent fracture in their company that keeps them permanently where they are. Chevy and Buick have no room…

And he should know.

Anyone around coke addicts in the 80s knew someone a lot like Trump. They were the assholes you stopped inviting to parties because they made everyone uncomfortable and bullied anyone smaller than themselves.

We also knew someone like Dean. Super gregarious, fun to be around, would often share,…

That’s what I hear in my head whenever Donald Trump talks.

I’m wondering if this might make Tesla vulnerable to “anti-price-fixing” laws. They call it “Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price” for a reason.

I’ve given up on GM. Their interdepartmental territorial battles for protected turf will always leave all non-Cadillacs in a position where they can never compete with Cadillac.

It has doomed Chevy cars other than the Corvette and Camaro, from aspiring to something other than patent cheapness. Second rate styling,…

I’ll buy an electric car:
1. When my current car is worn out
2. If it is the same price as an equivalent IC car
3. If it has the same power as an equivalent IC car
4. If it has the same range as an equivalent IC car
5. If it is as easy to find a place to charge up as an equivalent IC car
6. If it is as fast to charge as…

Then you don’t read the Jeep Wrangler forums.

Subarus have average or above average reliability. That means there are some cars that are more reliable than Subarus. Jeeps all have below average reliability. There are few cars on the market that are less reliable. But almost anything other than a Jeep is more reliable.

The amount of nuclear waste is fairly trivial to clean up. Still has to be done by someone.

Adequate competition for the Subaru Crosstrek, is adequate.

Welcome to the life of being an extra on a non-union gig :)

I got the email and declined when I found out I didn’t make it into “studio audience”. The fantastic show opening invitation promised an early hour and a half drive to a long day in the hot sun in the desert with no shade. Sort of a captive since they said we’d be taking buses to our destination.

I’m wondering if that…

Nate is a human being coming to the conclusion that a bloviating, Cheeto sprayed hate mongering demagogue, is dead even with a perfectly reasonable candidate who fits the mold of everyone who has held office since Reagan.

This is what it looks like when the mind is actually boggled.

Chevy could have made the Bolt into something attractive. It doesn’t cost any more money to manufacture an attractive car than an ugly one. Are they in a contest with the i3? To be fair, the Bolt just looks like one of their ugly, cheap looking little hatchbacks.

Tesla is going to win hands down. Because their car…

In the US, the local government doubles down for months, makes you pay, will assess penalties, throw people in jail who can’t pay the fines, and when they’re found in the wrong...never issues a refund and never clears all the people snared by the parking trap, because not paying a fine, whether right or wrong, is a…

Shrug. Maybe it has something to do with the tires? I mean, if you’re the only company making a car capable of going that speed, who makes tires meant to go that fast? Maybe they can’t find tires that don’t self destruct at 270 miles an hour.

Also, 261 mph is 420 kilometers per hour. Coincidence? Of course it is.

It isn’t just the practical aspects that make the Alltrack less attractive as an alternative to the Subaru. The current Outback has tires more suited to all weather driving, and looks more the part of a CUV. Even the previous Outback wasn’t as in tune with the market for looks, size and just generally the right feel…

Chevy Bolt. Crack pipe.

At least he’s hawking a good deal if you’re looking to buy a Fire stick.
