You are right and wrong at the same time. The bailouts is because all new car purchasing basically came to a stop. But realistically both GM and Chrysler would have needed the Bailouts anyways. Chrysler had been sucked dry by Merc and had no funds to do anything and practically every model was well under their…

But even then look at the mileage of the cars before the last recession and gas hike. SUV’s and trucks 7-12 MPG combined, with some able to hit like 15 on the highway. Cars were mostly 16-22 combined, 25 max on the highway unless you got a fuel saving sub compact like Soul or Fit.

That’s why I went from a FoST to a Jeep Compass. I loved my FoST. Probably my most favorite car yet and that’s even after trading it in for a Compass. But I was buying an not Leasing the car, I only can really have one car, between the move I was making, getting beached when I was plowed in during the winter, the…

I know someone who did that on a brand new Viper GTS an hour after getting it, which was funny he did it about 6 months before the big drop in Viper prices across the board. Didn’t total it like this douche which was probably worse for him. So now he had enough damage to need to use insurance, therefore an accident on…

Because CA is doing it on purpose along with attempting to force the CAFE standards on CA residents even if Trump is able to get rid of them. Gas prices have gone up here, but only like 30 cents, which is usual for spring and is generally done to capture money on the increased efficiency post winter (I went from 24-25…

Yeah I think that is a point people have missed. Even in the semi recent history cars have been high enough to roll up a curb without hitting the bumper. Lowering the car was a quick way to reduce air pressure under the car to get high fuel efficiency. Also to make the cars seem “sportier”.

More than likely that is what Amazon would be delivering.

Not just that, the car obviously knew it was doing something really wrong because as soon as it realized it was passing a cop on the shoulder it stopped.

That’s my general rule in the 3-4 times it has happened if it’s about just waiting for the cars to roll again before another stop in bumper to bumper traffic (3-4 car lengths) then I am fine with it. Also you never go anything more than maybe 10mph till you hit the exit. Anything longer than 30-40 feet, then your a…

Weren’t they taken out in an accident like a couple days before and were do for a replacement the day after the accident?

Not Ram, Ram is the second most profitable part of FCA with the 1500 some times beating the F150 in sales. This is from a company that overall does a fraction of the volume Ford does.

But they aren’t killing the Fiesta they are removing it from the market. The Fiesta, Focus, and Fusion are all built on global platforms designed in Europe and then changed when needed for US regulations. Ford pulling the Fiesta from the US market means switching manufacturing over to something that will make them…

My biggest card is my CU credit card. Nearly same 9%. So much better than the trash I have had from Chase or CapitalOne.

I don’t think the sedan market is going to disappear completely. Cars like the Focus for example sell enough in the US overall and sell extremely well outside it that they won’t get rid of it. Things like the Fusion sell OK in the US but really isn’t that good world wide have the chance to leave. Things like the…

That’s what I am saying. My friend got a CTS lease with a sticker about 50k for a 2012 or 13. 4 Months later I got a 13' Fusion Ti for 31K. The only thing nicer in his car was a moon roof that leaked after 6 months (in their defense the replacement worked wonders after that). I had roughly the same power, mine was a…

Lets not say Flounder. The styling change in the early 0's saved them from being closed down in 09 and was a major money maker for them. They took a hit after it that they haven’t recovered from. Old platforms, with old interiors when everyone was adding infotainment systems, a 50k CTS my friend got in 2013 had a blue…

To me I’d like some balance. The fronts should be hard. They get the most use. The driver specially on long trips need better support and honestly lazy boy comfort is going be bad for staying awake. Theses seats will last longer and may not need to be done when you are done with the car (even if the leather has…

Agreed on the last part and for the most part you are right. This is how the studio builds stars. Sit them next to bigger stars, but give them big roles until they feel safe to toss them out on their own. Just saying that as a TV show, getting the right people for the job is the most important because its life is much…

I didn’t say they were unknown. I said they hadn’t built up to their fame to the same level as their stars. It’s not even about acting ability, specially in the movies it is about there draw. Foxx was popular and well liked but was not an established box office draw. Same thing for Davis. Stone was a draw, Davis not…

Jamie Foxx got massive after Collateral, Viola Davis is/was just building her fame. Even when looking at Foy vs. Smith, it shouldn’t be as open or shut as Blank and Blank should make the same. Foxx hadn’t yet earned enough draw to be worth as much as getting Cruise nor Davis vs Stone. Just look at Will Smith at his…
