In what world is a Charger a sports sedan?

Not quite. Lutz didn’t start with GM until 2001. While the Aztec was released on his watch, the blame for that hot mess rests solely with his predecessor.

...when Bob Lutz was at the helm...

@5th gear: They’re not GM employees selling the cars. The laws made it so, and they wanted it that way. Tough shit, and I’m not buying that extended warranty and VIN etching.

As a five year veteran of a Chevrolet dealership (though only about 2 in sales), GM sales bonuses were always just that: bonuses. I dont think anyone relied on them to get by. Many of the sales people were young and had a high school education...making 35-55k a year before anything from GM. Some of the people who had…

How dare you talk bad about the 2005 Camry.

Hey VW: A bunch of Germans putting monkeys (and humans too!) into a chamber filled with poison gas kind of leads to that analogy on its own.

At this point I’m convinced all auto makers have cheated in some way.

People who aren’t trash, generally.

No but they confirmed they’re cunts.

This is stunning even by white guy standards. What a tool.

At least they didn’t try coopting #metoo.

I hear Mel Gibson is doing a Passion Of The Christ sequel. Maybe Dodge can just use Jesus to sell trucks next year. No one can get cross about that. They’ll nail it!

Just Mergio trying to lower the value of FCA trying to get a merger.
