Well if any car company deserves to die due to this current world catastrophe, it is Nissan. They have not made a compelling product outside of the GTR in 20 years.

How many less cases would there be if the WHO had declared it a pandemic and encouraged social distancing earlier instead of sitting on their butts and putting out release after release about “how it wasn’t bad enough to declare a pandemic yet?”

4th Gear: The quarterly truck increase is kind of amazing although it says more about the sales momentum and low fuel prices in January and February than anything else. 

3rd gear: The E golf is the price of a Model 3 with less performance that the Chevy Bolt. Unless you are a die hard Golf fan there’s no reason to buy one.

3rd gear: It’s not a surprise that the e-Golf sales are declining. VW hasn’t invested in it. It is basically a compliance car built to satisfy California’s CARB requirements.

That data is skewed. The Q1 results include January, February, and half of March which were normal.

120 month 0% financing?  Will it work on a Lambo?  Asking for a friend.

I keep hearing people say that wages haven’t kept up with inflation, but it isn’t true. If you’re not getting cost of living raises as much, it’s because cost of employer benefits (namely healthcare) have gone up. Or maybe it’s you.

I’m cool with a new C4C if they learn from last time. What shot the program in the foot last time was how people were directed towards cheaper economy cars. New vehicles bought under C4C were on average $7,500 less in transaction value than otherwise. So people bought Corollas and Civics instead of a more expensive…

No it shouldn’t return in that form. It destroyed the bottom end of the used car market which forced the average price of a used car upward. Notice how you can’t get a variety of beat up but well running vehicle for less than $3000+? It also an incentive to push more people into 100 month loans (exaggeration) on a…

When did we become giant coal slaves to “the economy”? Must keep consuming, must keep consuming... even if it is bad for us... because the economy. Must feed the beast.

1st Gear: You get a bailout! You get a bailout! Everybody gets a bailout!!

I mean great, but wouldn’t we all then be exchanging Fords for something good?

Cash for Clunkers. Let’s incentivize people to make a large credit purchase in an unstable economic situation. What could go wrong?

WTF Ford. You sell ONE car. Should have thought about your car sales before you killed them off.

the worst part about congress is that, not only do they control the purse, they control their own paychecks. I want to fire all of them and replace them with poor people. At least poor people can balance a checkbook (primarily because they have to if they want to survive).

You have doubts about Biden’s physical and mental well-being?  I have no doubts about those things.  Fairly obvious what is going on with him.  

It also helps keep (at least a small portion of) their employees employed and paid. Win-win for everyone.

Good job by you, GM.
