Where do I sign?

This looks better than 99% of everything on the road in the U.S. right now

It’s painfully obvious how Trump won a second time.

I’m honestly hoping for it. It’s the only way these idiots may have a chance of being woken up from their fever dream that Trump’s ideas, and republicans in general, are actually good for them.

Trump is going to screw over *everybody* but himself and his billionaire buddies.

Imagine you’re a Chinese manufacturer that really wants to expand their footprint in central and south america, when suddenly a bunch of gently used automobile manufacturing plants in Mexico go up for sale. Oh happy day!

I’m sure they’ll all end up at buy here pay here lots where all the flood damage is prominently disclosed in writing....

One thing not mentioned is that auto companies aren’t going to have to just weigh the effect of the tariffs, but also align that with the possibility that the pendulum swings back to the Democrats in 4 years, who would more than likely revoke those same tariffs.

If you’re Ford, do you spend billions to move your…

I still don’t understand how MAGAs think tariffs are a good thing. Tariffs are going to hurt every piece of industry in the US. We import everything. We aren’t just talking about T-shirts. How many car parts are actually manufactured in US? I would bet a very insignificant number. And those companies won’t move…

This car fills me with meh. Looks kinda goofy (just my taste), and it’s one of those “special editions” that gives you nothing special other than a different color and unwanted embroidery on the seats. The seller seems to be putting a $3K premium on the rarity over the other GXP he has, although that might be worth it…

Wait, you’re telling me that making expensive products for eco-minded people, and then making an abrupt Red Hat turn might... alienate the people who buy your products?  

Cool car if you built it yourself. Too much money, and too much “somebody else’s project” otherwise - good luck fixing it when it inevitably shits itself. Unless it comes with a documentation like a Lear Jet, no thanks. And even then, it’s still too much money. ND.

Crazy answer: A triple diesel engine pickup truck with a 6 inch lift installed at the factory. I mean, the EPA’s going to get a gut punch, too, so might as well make a FerdRamChev F-Teenthousand Denali with a 6.7 Power Stroke up front, a 6.6 Duramax in the middle, and a 6.7 Cummins bringing up the rear.

Non-Jalop answer: I would love to see a unification of safety codes between the EU, Japan, Korea and the US. This way, if Toyota makes too many Kei vehicles for their market, they can export some to America cheaply and sell them here. It would allow for enthusiasts to special order stuff like Alpines or the like and…

If Edd China built it? Yes. Otherwise, hard no. I’m not putting my life in some knucklehead’s garage project, even if it could be kind of cool in theory. I also doubt this would be street legal in my neck of the woods, although that’s partly my own situation. According to the interwebs, Oregon has no required vehicle…

Rivian.

Not my jam in any way, but that’s a ton and a half of Radwood cred for couch cushion money. Who cares about performance when the top is down and the sun is shining? Kick back and enjoy that smooth old dude ride. NP al day long.

It shouldn’t even do *that.* They should be reporting Cost Of Goods, and they’re not because the truth doesn’t make for a snappy headline. They’re relating the sale price of a single truck to Rivian’s TOTAL EXPENSES. That’s including all the money spent up front developing products before there were products to sell.…

Please stop publishing headlines suggesting a company “loses” money on every sale. In addition to being a gross oversimplification of how R&D spending and actual manufacturing costs work, it’s just wrong on its face.
