No, NAFTA allows manufacturers to get around that. Ram pickups are manufactured in Saltillo, Coahulla.

Yep. The expansion of manufacturing by the automakers and other multinationals has helped too.

I had read an article yesterday about how someone had pointed out that Trump’s proposed policies concerning México would actually make the immigration problems worse.

It looks like most ex-Californians are now living in Texas: http://reason.com/blog/2015/08/3…

That sucks. I primarily fly American due to the route and schedule works out the best for me. I’ve had flights canceled or been bumped off of a flight due to over booking or too much cargo weight. They have always given me vouchers for meals and a hotel if I need to stay overnight to catch the next flight.

Actually, I’d rather buy them a few years down the road when they are at fraction of their MSRP.

Small town car dealers don’t get a lot traffic. He was helping them from being bored to death. :D

Texas isn’t a part of the Deep South. Their BBQ is beef and that would probably be enough to exclude them from that designation. Then there is the “no beans in chili” rule that Texans seem to be adamant about.

The Bolt doesn’t look that much different than the Spark. I don’t know if they share any sheet metal or interior parts, but if they do, I imagine that would help them get it to market sooner. GM needs them to sell enough so they can stop buying CA zero emissions credits. They don’t need to make money on them like…

In other words, they're still not done working on it and what was shown was put together in order to make the demo deadline.

Hell, based on that website’s definition of haggling, CarMax will even haggle.

It’s not so much about always getting the best deal as much as not being a pain in ass to the point where your customers avoid wanting to ever to do business with you again.

No, their business revolves around having an inflated price and expects haggling to get it to something reasonable. Why not having a fair price to begin with and avoid all the idiotic games? Yes, people like my dad would have less fun that way, but too bad - he would go into a dealership and haggle for something to…

I have seen some two year old Model S’s for sale locally that were around $70k. They were originally around $103k (the seller included a scan of his invoice showing all the options). It had about 10000 miles on it - not surprising since there was no Supercharger station within 300 miles of here at the time, so most of…

The downside is that they have to wait a few years and pay full MSRP.

One also has to ask: how did we get to the point where it is accepted that this is something that you need to do? Do people haggle over TVs, bread, or anything else that they buy from a retailer? It’s ridiculous.

College athletes attending bullshit classes to make it appear like they are students?

That’s because of the an old law from the 60s nicknamed “The Chicken Tax” that levies a 25% tariff on imported light trucks. US pickup manufacturing has been protected from any outside competition so they only offer two sizes (big and huge) and price gouge the hell out of their customers compared to their automobiles.…

What do you mean no one wants to go to Saskatchewan?

So bodies go into the frunk?
