Agreed. Not sure he can go to that well too many more times though.

I bought a $500 4Runner, so I like a challenge. Just not one where most of the parts and labor are more than an entire Craigslist Miata.

Marchionne has used a lucky merger deal, massive Italian government support (above board- honest, please don’t look closely) and Ferrari’s success (which he had nothing to do with and ran off the person who did) to hide the fact that Fiat isn’t very good at cars. Jeep/Ram are keeping him afloat for now, but sooner or…

V10 Audi (historically unreliable)

3rd gen's are deeply loved. I bought a beat one for $500 and restored it. They will go forever with some basic TLC.

Its ugly, fat and frankly doesn’t even have a good personality. Finding a date for this is going to be tough.

Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca editions

Note “contract not renewed” isn’t exactly “fired”. And don’t overlook HBO.

Given the Beige Binge Hyundai has been on with their re-models, one would be advised not to hold their breath on any of this.

“What will be the next segment to explode in China?”

My eyes!

And Gulf has officially jumped the shark.

I owned one, I sold one. Due to the goofy co-production and development neither party is very committed to the car (both are highly committed to slighting each other though) . Toyota is moving on to their partnership with BMW and Subaru is likely to just drop the poor selling model and use that production for…

So how was your vacation?

Its M-Sport lube, $75 an ounce, imported from Bavaria.

Seeing it is already working for Carmax (and didn't Saturn dealer do this too) and there are so many pmartphone tools like TrueCar this seems like less of a stretch. People buy cars differently now.

I would say they mostly play games on the leasing side. But its a nicer, classier game, and tempered by their real fear of the buyer survey.

The C7 is very Ferrari-ish in person, very unexpected.

And those are for non-lemon law issues (like the dealer playing games with the financing, stuffing extra stuff into the purchase agreement ect). The purchase agreement can't opt-out of the lemon laws. And frankly why would a dealer want to? They (rather than the manufacturer) would be stuck dealing with the car…
