We tried, but they weren’t as good as the 3-series or C-class.

Of all the stupid automotive trends I’ve seen in my life, the proliferation of new sub-segments of small SUVs/CUVs is by far the most maddening. I was just wrestling with the existence of the CX-3 at all (vs the 5) and now you go and tell me this?

I’ve lived through numerous layoff’s over the past 20 years (including the auto industry). Most companies do not give the employees a heads ups that layoffs are coming.

90% of the things you own are produced in China, why is this suddenly a problem? For the 4,756th time.... the factory will be physically located there, as will the workers - but the engineering, design, build parameters and fit and finish will still be Volvo. It’s called globalization.

Oh goody. Now the $3 lamp in the $15 housing, that became the $500 LED in a $300 housing, can get exponentially more expensive to repair/replace.

Oh ok, you’re that guy.

Red velour for me!!!

That’s really unfortunate. I feel like the bare minimum to convey necessary information is at LEAST 25 screens. Kia just can’t get out of the “bargain” segment, can they...

So we’re just hot gluing a shit load of smart phones to the dash now? The iPad tablet stapled to the dash didn’t look like enough of an after-thought appartently.

Nobody is using GM as a benchmark for interior design and quality.

Those PR jamokes can really toss up a word salad, huh?
