This is one reason I have always leased. The depreciation is never a guess, maintenance is included, and for me it’s deductible. It’s not for everyone, but it certainly isn’t as bad as a lot of people portray it when honestly calculating total cost of ownership.

I think they do. They count a lot of things as “sales” including putting cars into the dealership loaner pool. Some manufacturers got in trouble for fudging their numbers that way. 

Those people with expiring leases, such as my wife, don’t get to dictate the timing of when we get a new vehicle. Yes, we can extend the lease, but that also means (at least in our case) the possibility of having to purchase tires and brakes before turning in the lease. 

But (I think) Bloomberg actually is referring more to its price, which will be somewhere between $67,000 and $123,000, which is indeed very accessible, if you’re a regular reader of Bloomberg.

And still Hyundai/Kia dealerships are treating the Palisade and Telluride like they are made of solid gold. 

Don’t forget gas taxes. As prices go down, the gas taxes as a percentage of total price goes up.

If it follows the X6 and X4, it will likely be another crossover coupe design with a sloping roofline that cuts down on the X7, to be “sportier.”

Ford, in a statement, said Drake will “bring enhanced focus to product launches, warranty cost reduction and material cost improvements.”

They can just ask for sweet bailout money. Apparently it doesn’t matter if your company was one day from declaring bankruptcy. Congress and Trump seem determined to throw piles of money at them anyway. If you had a thriving small business though, you are SOL. 

It’s nice to see a legitimate apology (assuming he crafted it). He takes responsibility, doesn’t use weasel-words, concedes that his actions caused harm, and doesn’t make excuses.

I’m also glad there were consequences. 

It’s legit.

I am working from home which, as an owner of a one-man IT company, isn’t that much of a hardship. However, I still go out a few times a week for sanity drives. Premium here is just under $2.00 per gallon.

Show me on the doll where the Bugatti touched you. 

Any lender who offers a cruise line credit at any interest rate is just looking to throw their money down the toilet.

I’m sure the airbag softened the blow.

Don’t forget that some vehicles had a foot-actuated button to change radio stations for some reason.

The issue is there are a lot of people who don’t want the rules to change—including automakers—and the attempt to change the rules is going to lead to a messy fight for some time to come it would seem.

I’m so glad the pup is ok. Karma will eventually catch up to these thieves. It may take a long time, but when it does, I hope it hurts a lot. 

How are Uber and Lyft going to continue losing massive amounts of money if they can’t do business? This is a disaster!

The cruise industry asking for a bailout is one of those examples. They flag their vessels in foreign countries so they don’t have to abide by U.S. safety regulations or pay U.S. taxes, but they are fine with taking U.S. bailout money.
