Actually you have a great point there. The name “Saturn” by itself suggests the kind of technological retro-futurism that most older folks remember fondly (see Tomorrowland), and that brand has dead long enough that most Millennials won’t have strong associations with it.

This is the only correct reply to this new rule. My wife works in the Disability industry, her company specifically sells products for people with low vision and blindness. Blind People with trained Seeing Eye dogs are hampered by people with fake service animals creating a bad image. People with disabilities have it…

Profit is not correlated to sales volume. There is also the cost of the money. Let’s say the Fusion has a 6% return, if Ford can shuffle that money into something else and make 8%, they should do that rather than make the Fusion.

I’ll believe it when I see it. As of now, Fisker has no established supply chain, no manufacturing facility, and no dealer network. Just more vaporware from the KING of vaporware. It’s alot harder to build an automotive startup then just renting office space in a WeWork

There’s only one way manufacturers are going to build more cars in the US, and that’s when consumers make a concerted effort to purchase US-made cars; You can’t have it six ways from Sunday (I’m definitely looking at you, Trumpers and Bernie supporters who have their stickers all over your foreign cars).

Its captain managed to bring the beleaguered sub to the surface, but it sank about five hours later. All 42 sailors were killed in the incident, known as the Komsomolets disaster.

Some bloggers here simply like to be contrarian. Usually it isn’t noticeable, but every once in a while doing so leads them to apparently contradict themselves in the same blog post.

Agreed. Especially the S and X. Why? These are the cash cows of Silicon Valley. The ones who need the newest gadget every year. Cap it at 40,000 per year of each, but put out significant updates annually and redesigns every 4 years (maximum). That’s how you maintain cachet in this market. The ModelS is not a Rolls.
