Um, we all know it won’t look like this after VW of America hits it with the boring stick.

Now that I’m thinking about it, this makes a ton of sense. Being an entrepreneur is basically saying you’re OK failing a few times to figure it all out. That wouldn’t really go over well in their culture.

1988 was a couple years ago?

Come on, we all know VW’s recovery plan is invading Poland.

...with a very creative way to make sure the driver is alert and involved in the driving process.

I think if they want to bounce back in the US, they’re going to have to grit their teeth and accept that they’ll be losing money for a few years. Super cheap leasing or something...hell, I’d hold my nose and lease a Passat or a Jetta for $149 a month with nothing down. At least you’d get some cars into the market and…

But will Supercruise leave his turn signal blinking on and off mile after mile? Inquiring minds want to know!

That badge alone adds easily an extra $3-5K on top of what the car is actually worth, because people see that and know that the car can do no wrong. It will never break down. It will never require any second thought. That badge says…

As someone who’s looking for a used car, has a trusted mechanic, and likes graphical information, I think we have the beginnings of a Used Car Color Code.

You are saying this

People are selfish. You think they’d really care about that when a new car is being offered?

Tavarish, go back to your garage.

If you have really deep pockets or are looking for a second car, sure. If you want one car to do it all at a reasonably fair price, the list of cars gets much shorter.

Really? The only thing? Right now is a friggen fantastic time to be a car guy.
