This thing is a grand slam - great design ideas, imposing presence, technological tour de force. A GM product that is actually desirable. Yes it is expensive. Yes it is excessive. Yes it is inefficient. People with the cash (or financing) will line up to buy these beasts. This is a halo product for GM and will make…

Jesus enough with the small truck bullshit. OEM’s make trucks bigger because MOST customers want bigger trucks.

Thaaaaat’s it. I was waiting for the leak this morning. You came through for us, Jason.  Looks good.

I’m not going to comment on the quality of the numbers coming out of China. I question the numbers coming out of the US at this point.

I test drove the Acura MDX, and I’d say it compares favorably to something like the Volvo XC90. They’re nice mid-size SUV’s with comfortable and minimal interiors.

The company I work at has offices in China, and those colleagues have been back to work for a few months now. Basically they say most things are back to normal, they’ve had no cases at the offices. So even if the government is lying about numbers, companies seem to be operating more or less normally, which leads me to…

Fuck GM (a company of thousands) for...wanting to stay in business and then doing things to stay in business?

Maybe they see/saw the writing on the wall?

Time for this one again:

Ah yes, don’t you just love how baby boomers and similar generations are fucking over future generations with global warming.

“Neutral: If you were in charge of our regulatory landscape, What Would Your American Auto Industry Look Like?”

I think you better off with the T-Roc than this thing. US customers care more about size and price than quality. It’s like the US Passat, it is a big shame in comparison of the European Passat.

Sedan good, crossover bad 

Chinese “car guy” here, grew up in China during car industry boom.

I have a small business with only two vehicles, one diesel and one gasoline doing about 35,000 miles a year for both. Combining fuel and maintenance costs going electric would save me about $4,500 annually for both vehicles so it’s certainly an attractive proposition even though it would probably take a few years to…

2nd Gear: TIL that the Rogue accounts for an eye-popping 12% of crossover sales. That’s mind-blowing. Rental fleets can’t account for all of that number.   

Been thinking about this for awhile. Most practical scenario at this point is EV’s replace gas powered consumer cars, and Hydrogen replaces diesel in tractor trailers, box trucks, maybe HD pickups too? Basically everything above a certain GVWR. I don’t think there’s a practical amount battery to put in something even…

Maybe if you quit joking around and sent them serious questions they might respond?

Once Tesla hears that you didn’t pay for the optional convertible package, you’ll be getting a bill in the mail.
