I grew up in Flint. Uncles and aunts worked for GM - so obviously they were UAW. I remember my uncles staying at home sleeping all day while their buddies clocked them in and out. It took a couple years, but GM finally caught on to this, so then they started a massive crackdown in plants to make sure those workers…

Tis truly a shame, because that car looks damned good in person.

Its crazy because companies are so generous to their workers, especially the blue collar types.

The UAW have themselves to blame. They have created a “Us vs Them” mentality between auto works and manufacturers over the years. The “I’ll take this company down if they don’t give me what I want” mentality is so ingrained in the UAW membership, why on Earth would any auto manufacturer want them? Why did the lose…

I’ve been fairly extensively on both sides of this fence here in the UK and if my experience is anything to go by, they got the right outcome. Unions ultimately destroy companies, just take a good look at British Leyland in the 70s.

Having grown up in a state mostly devoid of unions (Louisiana), the whole union mentality is always strange to me.

In addition to being comically wrong, I’m also concerned about how short you think “800 feet” is.

Miata illegally passes over a double yellow on blind turns and almost causes a head on collision? Maybe that’s what was wrong with it? I dunno though, I’m just a human being with eyes.

I’ll have what you’re having.

I think a better option would be to take the Type R and make it look like a ‘normal’ Civic (which is slightly less ugly).

I think the distinction is that it is in fact not “launching” at $35,000. You can’t get a $35K one yet. The $44K (or whatever) are the orders that are being filled. So technically it “launched” at $44K...

Oh man, you’re not wrong. It’s def a Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust with a lift and larger wheels.

Has a slight Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust vibe to it. needs a Pope’s head box on top.

This comment makes it seem like you didn’t actually bother to read the article.

Standard XJR is cool, this looks a bit stupid. You chose an XJ because it’s quite elegant and luxurious. You don’t want ugly body kits and badging all over. And even if I don’t know the figures, I’m pretty sure AMG or M is the choice if you want to go as fast or faster.

I’ll never understand you guys! When we review a car we hate, we’re being negative for clicks and don’t know anything about cars. When we review something we like, we’re obviously being paid by the manufacturer.

Can you swap the tablet for a dashboard?

In a bureaucracy as big as China’s, you’re going to have different elements interpreting official policy in different ways. This video clearly portrays the hostility that some in the highest rungs of China’s military feel towards the U.S. Whether it was equally sanctioned by China’s political leadership we can’t say.…
