I always did wonder how the German automakers could afford countless derivations of every model, yet US and Asian automakers had far fewer. Maybe now we know.

Yes, that creepy disembodied voice singing “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream...” followed by a startling clown voice “HELLO!” Nightmares.

This is what the DVR is for

Yes, there is a ton of shadiness in the subprime lending industry, 90% of it can be found in the finance office, where the finance manager has the sales manager, the salesman, and the customer breathing down their neck to get these deals approved. Finance guys lie to the banks all the time to get these deals approved.

The Viggen lives on in the form of the Buick Cascada. Small front wheel drive turbo convertible based on an old Opel design ring a bell?

Let’s not forget that Google has had street view cars out and about for a decade at least and still doesn’t have every street done.

I’m just saying that they aren’t really autonomous if they can’t get around without maps. Even if I don’t know where I am going, through reading of the road signs and trial and error I can get where I am going without a map.

As long as “autonomous” cars require HD maps to cross reference with what they see, they aren’t really autonomous, they are just slot cars on digital tracks. They need to see and react to their surroundings in real time, not rely on database updates on construction, etc. No thanks.

Perhaps you should worry about your son growing up in a world where the news media cynically assigns speculative motivations onto our elected officials with no shred evidence.

How about the Democrats - the party or diversity and youth - find someone other than a old white senior citizen to lead the party.

This really is the root of the problem: “the message” must be a carefully crafted patronizing trick

We are rushing headlong into the EV future because it is trendy, not because we have a drastic need or the capability to make EVs successful. Electricity is still largely made from fossil fuels, so most EV’s are not even saving the planet.

I like it. Way better than the fake vent look

Actual colors tend to cost more, and then, if you really get stand out color, cost you at trade in time as well.

The game of Thrones books were written years ago, and the TV show has been on for years before Trump declared his candidacy, but feel free to relate virtually EVERYTHING in you life to Trump. Feel free to maintain this Trump induced psychosis through 2020. Real America will thank you.

I do not watch Game of Thrones. I’m white...

That is NOT attractive at all. The interior looks good, though - even that tacked on touchscreen looks ok. But that body style is not good looking at all.

One thing you left out is that the internet people at the dealerships are basically forced to call you an email you that much. The dealers all use software that has a schedule of calls/emails the internet people have to follow, and a schedule for the automated emails. It’s typically a 90 timeline before they are…

This is literally how ALL commerce is done. Of course you solicit quotes from multiple dealers at get them to compete. It’s not a waste of their time. It’s their job to negotiate prices to earn sales.
