So for North America the 500L basically (we don’t get the Panda but I think the 500L is it’s ugly cousin).

So what is it? 

Fuck GM. Between killing their customers and closing all their Canadian and American plants and moving them to Mexico they really are the worst of the worst. People who have “buy American” or “buy Canadian” stickers on their rusting GM built shit need to give their heads a shake. 

Turns like a drunk frenchman! 

Your database runs on Kinja?

That’s the problem though. Is the foundation sound or is it just shit built on top of shit? The original premise (one jet to do everything with minimal differences between variants) was a flawed idea from day one and the actual execution means the plane is just okay at all three jobs and certainly no cheaper nor…

Having recently owned a PSA engined car Captain slow was right. That engine had the reliability of early 80's American car and single handedly took MINI to the very bottom of every reliability index. If that’s the best they can build please stay away! 

I hate to agree with you as the ideal of organized labour is great but the execution of it (both UAW and Aerospace workers) has been in my experience atrocious. Maybe German style guilds are the way to go as the workers need a voice but the unions only job can’t be protecting the lazy/ bigoted/ drunk/ stoned employees…

If anyone actually cared about illegal immigration it could be solved with one pen stroke. Stop chasing the immigrants and start chasing the employers who hire them. Make hiring people without real, provable identification and citizenship a crime and start arresting/ prosecuting people who do hire them. If there were…

I was on a flight from Europe and no word of a lie the back wheels touched the tarmac and an entire east indian family jumped up and started getting their bags from the overhead. The front wheels seriously had not touched down yet! The flight attendant SCREAMED at them (first time I ever saw that!) and they sat down.…

10 years old, that’s a brand new platform for FCA!

Good news! The Dacia Sandero is coming to North America! Granted it will be called the Chrysler “Seriously how is this more reliable then a $60K Jeep?” but hey, at least FCA will have a car not using a 1998 mercedes chassis!

About a decade ago I returned a rental at the Dallas airport and literally could not find an employee anywhere. As I was in the return lane and didn’t need a receipt I left the car and got on my flight back to Canada. Like 2 weeks later got a call from the Texas rangers asking if I was ever going to return the car.…

Pretty sure that’s a 1968 or 69 Chevy Malibu actually.

So? I never got my Takata airbag fixed in my A3 because the DEALER never received the airbags! When they bought it back for dieselgate it still had the explody airbags installed and I said good riddance.

American car companies are run by bean counters while German (and Japanese) companies are generally run by engineers. Sure engineers make mistakes but I’d rather overengineered then costed to failure. 

I guess I am! 

I’m a simple man, I see Red Barchetta reference I upvote.

4th gear, I hope China takes a lesson from the EU and targets their tariffs directly at MAGA voters. I hope everyone of them ends up homeless and destitute for their stupidity.

Companies that do this are so short sighted. Mistakes happen the difference between a company that deserves respect and loyalty and ones that do not is the response. If you deflect, lie and blame instead of frigging doing the right thing 1) It will usually cost you more money in the long haul (like when you loose…
