You get a star.

Yes, I have. The USMC qualifies out to 500 meters on the M4.

Not likely.  They’ve had the highest profits of the big 3 over the last 7 years... by a long shot.

?? Honda scaled back thier Marysville plant dramatically just this year and closed their Samaya plant altogether in 2017.

Toyota just suspended product at 4 plants in Japan, closed their Melbourne facility and is backing out of their joint California venture.

Toyota closed the Erlanger and Melbourne plants recently and have 4 other announced closures in Asia.

Not trying to be a jerk, but Acura sales are down considerable over the last 10 years in terms of both vehicles sold and marketshare ( almost 30%). They have posted declining sales numbers over the last three years. Thier “record sales” were almost 13 years ago.

Huh? We we’re talking about the RDX, and specifically the dinner plate on the nose. I like many ofAcura’s other offerings. I even owned an integra back in the day.

The car isn’t available yet. Who are these people buying it? I get that you are an Acura employee or enthusiast. That doesn’t mean the company is beyond criticism. Rather than argue against the consensus opinion to the end, consider adapting to make the vehicle more attractive.

I (and many on Jalopnik according to the comments) think the dinner plate logo looks silly. Maybe reduce it by 1/3rd to find a happy medium.

That doesn’t make it pretty. Like I said, there had to be another way. Cadillac, Nissan, VW and many other manufacturers employ forward radar in a far less conspicuous manner.

Fords trucks have a much larger grille/front area. So the large logo doesn’t look so out of place. Also, the large grille matches the styling of the truck overall. The Acura version looks larger than the headlights and out of place in the context of the vehicles design.

There has to be a better way. It’s comically large, like a clown nose.

Wall Street is interested in GM’s 216% increase in profits since 2009. Barb is a big part of that. But their sales performances and market performance are not “completely unrelated.”

We haven’t really talked total asset value (TAV) in this “conversation.” I’ve brought up net gains and profits in which GM outpaced both Ford and Toyota over the last 5 years. I don’t own a GM product. My daily driver is a BMW if it matters and also own a 4Runner. Eight percent more in total valuation, but look at…

I don’t know if we are limiting the conversation to US Sales. Their stock valuation and growth doesn’t. GM is winning handily there. Global sales matter.

Ford sells plenty of midsized. Travel much?

“Beyond heroic.” Have we forgotten that she SOLD the information to Assange . This wasn’t a whistle blower situation, this was straight up profiteering.

Compared to Ford and FCAs driverless options? GM is leading the pack in autonomous vehicles and EVs. That’s something. They are also leading the pack in sales, growth, value per share and return on investment per share.

Which months were those? GM sold 984,909 pickup trucks in 2017 compared to Fords 896,764. These numbers exclude truck based SUVs and include both the mid sized and full sized offerings from both companies.
