Some even made it to production. Like RCZ concept introduced in 2009 Frankfurt auto show and went into production 1 year later with the curved glass and all.

There are pretty good guide videos that open as you go forward in the game that teach you the technique to example handle long steep hills etc. 

It really is amazing. I dappled with Grooveshark and Pandora paid versions, but Spotify was the first one to put it all together with a UI that is not perfect but still on a another league to what I tried before it.

They are not certainly making a comeback in west, but F1 is also a truly global sport. Be it Japan, let alone China and South America do have a more lenient view on the product. BAT and PM have been growing their revenue in Asia-Pacific past 4 years.

I do find the tobacco firms fuck you attitude and clearly the mountains of cash they need to burn in F1 fascinating. Marlboro has been a sponsor for Ferrari 40 years and since 1997 their title sponsor. With quite a bit of that time not being even able to have any logo on the car, not even anything resembling to a…

F1 is ubiquitous all around Western Europe, Brazil and Japan. In the Michael Schumacher era it had over 650 million global audience when it was available mostly in free channels across Europe. At the moment the official number is 390 million. It still regularly ranks in the top 5 most watched sport in the world

Actually that contract part is the reason why this might have some credibility to it.

Not a fan of Neymars embellishment at one bit, but Neymar has been on the receiving end of fouls for his whole career. He was leading fouls taken for his whole time in La Liga.

While US is their 4th largest market and they experienced 3% growthin US, the actual growth came from their largest (Asia-Pacific, Middle East) and second largest market (China) where they saw double digit growth.

It was the Japanese that ran the company to brink of a bankruptcy and was saved by Renault money and Ghosn appointment as CEO.

I don’t understand this weird obsession of reddit. Why do people care so much about it around here? 

There have been casters since Star Craft decade ago getting contracts with severance packages and such.

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see Renault selling their 43% ownership and voting rights on Nissan away. Nissan’s influence ownership wise to Renault is minimal.

I was all excited that a Gulf Moccamaster is a thing. Unfortunately the 999€ price this is being sold at is a bit too rich for my blood compared to the normal 129€ retail price.

Oh, had no idea. Hopefully it all goes well for you guys and girls in Jalopnik especially.

Skoda is below VW, but it’s not a bargain bin category brand by any means. Skoda makes total sense market position wise. It’s really VW between Seat/Skoda and Audi that I often have hard time to rationalize here in Europe especially with their wide trim and car ranges, but by some miracle they have made it work sales…

I mean they must be doing something right as the world largest car manufacturer and +10 billion euro profit year after year. 

Was it a private company that bought the firm? I’ve been working in HQ’s of 3 different Northern European publicity traded companies and never saw anything like that. HR has such a tight clamp on hiring and I would honestly think if you were related to somebody in board or leadership team - you would have harder time…

Or how far Hyundai/Kia have gone. Though, I do also think E-tron looks amazing.

I’m not sure how that makes sense. Tesla isn’t known for their quality, but are producing car with a range and price point that is a competitive.
