Call it Mata! Not that it means bush in Spanish or anything. ;)

You read my mind. GM could move their headquarters overseas and call it a day. 

This thing could be a real Trooper off-road.

Remember when we would make fun of Lincoln and talk about how Cadillac was leading the pack for American luxury, Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I was born for this:

That's what the Aussie military used.

The original Chrysler Pacifica was way ahead of it’s time as well. I would love a new Dodge Magnum but I'm fine with mine.

My understanding is the aerospace companies just do their own certification and then apply to the FAA for it. The FAA doesn’t really do anything. Or has my long term memory been poisoned?

Or you use big oil to make big electricity.

Hell no! I have an 05 E320 with the straight six(subsequent years got a V6) and it sells for around that price range. You get more horsepower and more creature comforts. Mine has been rock solid besides regular wear items.  I'm at 220k now.

2nd Gear: PSA Group will be their partner (Peugeot/Citroen). They can both fill each other's gaps and there is no overlap. Also, Dongfeng is a minority owner in PSA so that gives them not only a Chinese partner but heavy duty truck manufacturer as well.

I guess you lack a sense of humor. I’m well aware no country in North America is called “America.” I was poking fun at the fact that I own what is essentially a “muscle car” (RWD and naturally aspirated V8).

I'm more interested in the acquisition of the Su-27 and how it came to be.

Their beaches are gorgeous though.

I’ve always wanted one, if I ever bite the bullet, I may need your expertise.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen a Chinese manufacturer try to sell a small affordable trucks here. I wonder whatever happened to Tata’s aspirations to sell a pickup here. Hell, maybe import small car based trucks (to avoid the chicken tax) and federalize them. If it worked for the G-class in the 80's, maybe we can grab…

The fascia on that truck used to give me nightmares as a child!

First car was an 88 MX-6 LX, it was so easy to work on. I miss that car to this day.
