I think this has more to do with lobbying than being local.

I’m still waiting to hear a legitimate reason why having the choice to buy from a manufacturer instead of a franchisee is a terrible, terrible thing that must be kept illegal.

I 100% agree. They were the underdogs before and got a lot of fans behind this young team, but they need to control themselves. The leadership & Yost need to get some more maturity in the clubhouse otherwise the next team they try this on is going to go after Zobrist or Hosmer instead of someone like Escobar.

Except Volquez flat out said it was intentional....

Nice try Mr. Yost.

We’re seeing hybrids everywhere now, though, especially amongst fleet vehicles and luxury cars. And all of the fastest cars in the World now have some sort of hybrid.

Relax, it’s a joke. I understand how their naming works and I really like the GCs; I’d take a 4GC over a 3 anyday and also take a 6GC over a 5.

2 door sedans exist? DO NOT show this to BMW.

Not a sport? Golf.

That was a one-off. This, on the other hand, was somehow used as the design language for an entire brand for multiple generations, and its impact is still felt....

The SRT has low sales because of the badge. If you took the RR Sport and the GC and did nothing but swap their badges, the GC would vastly outsell the RR. Most people spending that much money want to say they drive a Range Rover/Jaguar/BMW/Porsche/etc., not a Jeep.

With 0 of them going to the hordes or Jalopnik commenters who feel that eleven out of every ten Americans wants a small pickup.

I REALLY hope this gets nixed but I’m not fully confident that the group that somehow replaced the fully funded Scarborough LRT with an unnecessary subway or who doesn’t think the DRL isn’t a priority or who ignored most urban planners and went with a the hybrid option for the Gardiner will yield to common sense. We…

Agreed. Here (Canada) there’s a Nissan Micra and I’d be shocked if it was outselling the much nicer looking AND cheaper Nissan.

Seriously. The customers are pushed to the back of the line AND the high demand probably means even more markups are on their way. Its insane.

Yeah but that’s because you don’t have lobbyists protecting you from not having to pay markups.

Yeah, the manufacturer screwed up the most by a) not treating the customer properly and forcing them to wait more, and b) not protecting them from those insane markups.

In downtown Toronto there’s a Starbucks just before the intersection, another at opposite corner of the intersection, and a third at the end of the parking garage for the building with the second starbucks.

Because he could parlay it into something official with the campaign now that he has his name out there and has shown that’s he a true supporter.
