The Explorer is significantly bigger than a station wagon unless you go back to the Roadmaster. 

Guess what the fastest growing segment of vehicles is in Citroen’s market? 

“or maybe global-minus-the-U.S. where Citroen does not do business and doesn’t care about our SUV market.”

It’s not seen as wasteful and selfish to drive a RAV4 Prime, and it’s certainly not seen as dangerous. Only people on this site think that way.

Me and everyone else.

“If you live in a big city, five years ago if you drop off your kids with a big SUV you’re a man,” he said. “Now, if you do this, you’re a ‘terrorist’”

To be fair, the motel burned down so that was taken care of. 

Well, given it’s mostly in a flat, commercial area and most of the nearby residential areas are surrounded by trees, and there are a bunch of large, office buildings nearby anyway, that’s not actually an issue.

It’s ugly. It’s not remarkable that it’s on a shitty strip with shitty bars. Like the other guy said, Colfax exists.

“What that picture only hints at, is the hilarity of its location. Notice that ‘BAR’ sign down in the corner?”

They didn’t say good. They said new. 

Fair enough, but I still don’t think a weak civil society is one of the causes of offshoring to Chin. It’s likely more a symptom of why it’s happening, and again, Tesla built the factory there to sell cars there while expanding its US operations and building a factory in Germany.

“Sort of my point, stock prices are not an accurate indicator of anything really.”

Did that ever work out for Sega? 

I don’t like their language, but it makes some sense that they’d keep it consistent among their models. But if they want to go with evolutionary design, they probably need a little more evolution. 

“so they’d still have a market producing batteries for other makes.”

Whatever the issues with China, I don’t think they suffer from a weaker regulations (they certainly focus on different things) or a weaker civil society.

It’s doing poorly because executives are leaving and it’s missing production targets that are hurting it’s stock price.

I always laugh that Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, an NFL stadium, has a Chick Fil A.
