Oh I 100% agree, it is very impressive. But that company I used in my hypothetical up there would also have some pretty impressive numbers with their situation as well.

Oh I agree it is impressive, but it’s covering up the fact that it’s unsustainable. Cherry picking a few choice, impressive statistics doesn’t show the reality that the company would fold without continued investment being pumped into it. 

I agree, they are impressive in a lot of ways. However it’s a little too much prophet and not enough profit right now.

I mean, not exactly. They’re pretty careful about saying “sedan” specifically. A market that is on the decline, though still popular. I’d be curious to see how it ranks against as broad a category as all passenger cars.

Exactly. Pretty easy to tweak your metrics until you find an angle that favors your numbers... regardless of how much those numbers actually matter at the end of the day.

I really need to start doing this.

This is the reality of MMA. It’s a brutal, brutal sport and not much isn’t allowed.

You got a dud, unfortunately. A guy I work with has one with 120k miles and it hasn’t needed much.

Still hard to believe the Fusion wasn’t a profitable venture for them. I see the things freaking everywhere. Focus and Fiesta as well, for that matter.

Couldn’t disagree more. Think of it like a sleeper drag build, but for off road. If everyone just picked a Mustang or Camaro, there wouldn’t be much excitement there.

That’s not a real tweet.

To be fair, I don’t want to hear anything from ICP. But if they want to tackle some heavy shit, they can go right ahead. I certainly don’t want to be the one limiting someone’s artistic freedoms. And as far as writing about what they know... you don’t think that was part of the shitty bar scene?

I forgot how much I enjoyed all the commentary clips in Forza 5 on all the different cars. I think I listened to just about every one of them on the first day I got the game.

They explained why they tried and ultimately are avoiding that solution for now, actually.

Ah, so bands have to meet certain qualifications to talk about the shitty realities of daily life. If only you could have let them know :(

This little 4 cylinder makes more power than the “real engine” did 10 years ago. That’s damn impressive. Not everyone needs 400+ horsepower, in fact, I’d say a lot less people do than currently have it.

I appreciate the well reasoned response! I get your point of view. I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree here, because I know exactly wat you mean about just getting a feeling from something that you can’t shake on something, and it's hard to blame you on why in this particular case.

Hahaha, no, my comment was much more lighthearted than that, man. From an outside perspective, that’s just what it looked like. It’s pretty common that if you put an opinion on something out there, someone else is probably going to have an opinion counter to yours and state it.

To be fair, defending something and advocating for something are near synonyms in this case, wouldn’t you agree?

Thank you! I’m not even much of a fan, but this is a reasonable take. Anyone who thinks you have to agree with the subject matter of a piece of art should stay away from fans of horror movies.
