So you were relying on the “I’ve been in China a decade and never seen…” anecdotal evidence of a single observer?

And yet, people do care. For just about everything from beverages, food, automobiles, electronics, etc. brand names and history matter when it comes to consumer perceptions.

Fine, whatever. I have been in China a decade and seen zero RRs, while I have routinely see Bentleys. The RRs must be predominently going to regions I don’t visit.

Will it though? I mean, people in China who are rich enough to afford ultra luxury foreign cars are extremely wealthy. Why would they buy a Genesis over a Rolls Royce?

My thought exactly.  Bentley offers zero cars under $200,000.

Well, Sony did have a decade head start on them. Sony got in pretty early on the dev/publisher side, even before they made hardware. Microsoft, on the other hand, kind of threw money around for 1st party exclusives while forsaking in-house development. Besides Halo and Forza, I can’t really name any “Xbox” games? Like…

Microsoft isn’t burdened with debt at all. The Xbox division may be struggling a bit but the company as a whole is very profitable. When it comes to large corporations, layoffs aren’t a matter of necessity. They’re about keeping investors happy by cutting costs so they can inflate their quarterly profit estimates.

Honestly, their business strat leaves a lot to be desired. As a company they just said they needed to fire 10,000+ people because the business wasn’t going well enough. This excuse for upending so many lives is not compatible at all with the massive debt they are trying to take on buying up Blizzard. Microsoft is…

Yeah... Looks like bathroom tiles. WTF.

Wow, I… really hate that interior. Fortunately the interior is the most customizable area of a car.

The “headlight streaks” (for lack of a better term) should not stop at the door cut line.  It’s a bit jarring.  They should stop before the door.

It’s so “critical” to them that they’ve let 343 run the franchise into the ground.

I love the exterior. Gorgeous. The interior looks like a shower from an early 90’s tract house.

that makes them model cars not production vehicles.  its so rich folks can make vroom vroom noises in their garages like children and feel superior.  the f40 was better than the 959 in every way and is the way vehicles shoulve gone.  unfortunately things followed the 959s path and went super technical. 

Why can’t they get into school on their own merit or without other races getting a score penalty in favor of black applicants?

How can you hold the ideas “91% of Black men do not have sports-based financial aid” and “without affirmative action, there will be no Black male students left” at the same time?

“There are many, many smart Black men who will still go college and graduate.”

“mythology of discrimination against Asian applicants. All historical data shows that the real goal is suppressing Black, brown, and Indigenous applicants and giving white aspirants more slots.”

One thing seems certain if the Supreme Court bans affirmative action in college admissions
