You’re basically right, the “cab-forward” Chryslers of the 90s weren’t really a good example; they got a lot of advertising use out of the phrase but pulling the base of the windshield far forward while not really moving the passenger compartment much just left a lot of wasted space between the large (and heavy) winds…

What, no Wegmans “Food You Feel Good About” Lime Sparkling Water?

Yes, but at least they’re not Papists.

Yes, the “Spaceback” is actually 7 in shorter than the Rapid 5-door notchback, and has less boot space. Skoda estate models are usually designated Kombis or Combis.

Mildred is obviously a slut, because she has bare hands instead of gloves color-coordinated to her outfit.

I don’t think that is a “coupe”, it’s a “Tudor” sedan. The 3-window coupe looked like this:

Yes, it’s interesting how the last big American wagons ended up with the solution used before the early ‘50s, before they figured out how to put a cranked, or later powered, window in the tailgate. Probably because the B-body wagon’s rear glass was curved instead of flat, and the clamshell solution used in the early ‘7…

It’s for sure ugly, but the proportions and shape are not nearly as out-of-whack as the Aztek, or the Rendevous that some people claim was the “normal-looking” cousin.

The illustrated monkeys look not entirely dissimilar to Barbary macaques, which do inhabit Gibraltar and sometimes even visit the town. But true, not much agriculture on the peninsula.

Better yet, Bi-Curious George. “One day George saw a man. He had on a sassy purple beret. And George got excited, despite himself.”

Conversely, he massively overpaid for a VW that if kept in perfect condition is still worth what it was when he got it, adjusted for currency value and give or take a bit. Most people should actually take this bet, because the more likely scenario is the business goes bankrupt.

The Greek suffix -nomics indicates laws/principles of, i. e. science or knowledge; -metry indicates measurement, i. e. engineering or implementation.

Well, they’ve said it was a mistake and pulled it, but Ford has in the past posted configurators for upcoming models just to collect data on the level of interest in potential combinations of equipment, and prices that potential buyers are willing to consider.

A receptacle for small items of trash; I never smoked but I miss ashtrays.

Yes. But owe too much and there may be penalties for insufficient withholding/quarterly prepayment, depending on the cause.

tronc didn’t buy the Tribune, it is the Tribune, or rather, the legacy media company that was split from the TV and radio stations. It stands  for Tribune online content, indicating the presumptive direction of the future. Print cannot make money without advertising, and advertisers are spending their money online…

It’s a precept of business that if you can hit your break-even point—increasing sales, reducing costs, or some combination—then revenue from incremental unit sales is mostly profit, so a small sales increase can make a big profit increase.

A belated comment, but “Chaps” is Ralph Lauren’s mass-market label, and it’s not exclusive to Kohl’s.

Even if Trump’s advisors’ strategy, and I’m unconvinced they actually have one or know the difference between policy, strategy, and tactics, works the way they think it will, there are going to be increased costs for businesses that they may not be able or willing to absorb, and increased costs to consumers. Nor do…

One of the last to be built only in Japan, Ebay huckster. Honda Marysville Assembly Plant opened in 1982, but imports from Japan continued to be necessary for years after to satisfy demand for Accords. Eventually some models, like the notchback 2-door, were exported to Japan from Ohio.
