I’m an extremist: go balls out one way or the other.

Neutral: Stop judging executives so harshly on quarterly results. Start looking at annual and longer performance windows instead, then adjusting their compensation accordingly — including holdbacks for certain long-term goals.

No, I think many of you misunderstood how I was assuming the math would work. Audi doesn’t like saying, “Hey, our cars are going to lose $70k in value in three years.” Their stated residual is going to be like... $65K, maybe? You’d be a moron to buy the car at the end of the lease at that price.

I’m the target market for this thing, and can afford it assuming it isn’t $150k+. But just like the E63 wagon, the depreciation scares me away. I just can’t justify a quick $50k+ loss to put some miles on a fast German wagon. I mean the depreciation alone would pay for a good chunk of a GC Trackhawk or a number of…

Owning an RS6 outside of the warranty period? Do you also share needles?

They are damned fools if you ask me. They’ve rested on the name too long. Take Land Rover - masters at marketing but terrible at building. They sell. If Toyota could master marketing AND building there would be a lot more credibility and recognition of the name.

They could go the other way and bring the cred back to the Land Cruiser with a very hard core (way more than people need) setup and a more throwback look.  Tripple lockers and a little more 60 series in the shape and I bet you would see a huge uptick in the cross-shoppers for the vehicles you mention.

I think this is precisely the problem. The LC is a stealth wealth car. The market for stealth wealth vehicles is vanishingly small. 

$85k for that thing? It looked almost identical to the $65k Sequoia it was sitting next to in the showroom. CP

Watch the next one be a re-badged BMW X7

Exactly this - if you know, you know.

I get annoyed by the reputation of it being a Mid-life crisis or old man machine. Sports cars in general kind of get that rep. I’m 29 now, I wont have the disposable income to by that car for a couple years, then hopefully i’ll be buying a house, getting married, having kids, etc and then Im pretty sure it would be…

I think the Corvette and Nissan GT-R are the staple of every young enthusiast’s playground banter. These cars defy logic....they have incredible performance specs with relatively minimal cost. And the aftermarket is RIPE with parts to make them faster than anything for a few thousand dollars.

No argument that a degree doesn’t guarantee success, or that people with degrees in liberal arts can succeed. For example, some folks who major in English go on to law school and can do quite well (though getting a job with a degree from a lesser-known law school can be quite a challenge these days).

I have been fortunate enough to fly on several private jets as a co-op student. I would fly on private jets in a heartbeat if I had the money.

Yes, not everyone wants to or can get a CS degree. That’s not my point.  My point is that going to college and taking on a bunch of debt for a liberal arts degree with few job prospects is rather pointless.

Jay previously owned a share of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, in which he purchased a $1 million stake in 2004, but even that deal was controversial in that many believe it sped up the hyper-gentrification tearing up his beloved, native Brooklyn.

I know this article is all about the looks of the exteriors of these things, but what bugs me even more is the interior. Everything in them looks and feels cheap. It’s not any place I’d want to spend any real time. It’s certainly not what I would want to come back to after a day exploring some exciting new semi-wild…

I feel like we’re getting back to basics... especially with rigs like this.

HR works for management to protect the company. The sooner people realize this, the sooner you will understand the true role of your HR deparment.
