Considering China kicks America and everyone else’ ass when it comes to manufacturing these days to what do you attribute their “sad” booth? Too busy kicking everyone else’ ass to care about trade shows?

Here we go again, Takata has killed people and only pays $1 billion to settle. Meanwhile over at VW its the damn Inquisition over there, $4.3 billion and execs possibly serving life terms.

I just love whenever an officer cites someone for breaking the law they always jump to the “ticket quota” bullshit.

Not all cars. My Avalanche will let you open and close doors to your hearts content. You cannot put it in gear and so it cannot be driven until the key is in the ignition.

If it is like the DC area, they ride the bus out to the nicer areas to steal the car.

If the officer was able to write a ticket in the time the vehicle was unattended, then yes the chance is greater the 15%. He should be glad he only got a ticket and not a stolen car.

Definitely NOT a good idea to be leaving keys in an unattended car. But I find it kind of odd that the officer decided to write a ticket when it seems like a warning would have sufficed. This is the kind of thing that reinforces the idea of there being a “ticket quota”.

It’s a big problem. Automakers (and everybody else, but that’s for another time) need to understand that people in their late 20s/early 30s are of the one of the poorest generations yet. It’s almost like they forgot that we’re still recovering from the worst recession this country has ever seen.

That’s my beef with that entire segment. The cars (ATS V, Stinger, SS, Hellcat, S4, M3, etc) are designed for young hip buyers like me, but I have no idea how young hip buyers afford them. I’m a single 30 something male with a damn good income and I see car payments at 600-1,000 a month and I just cry.

Great. Now we’ve gotta surrender our socks

If Nissan can translate that into production well, they might actually have an attractive car in their lineup.

We know they can build little vans like the Ford Transit Connect.

If Trump actually holds true to his campaign promises, he will tax non-car products like crazy too. It’s actually part of what motivated that Carrier deal of his. He promised them enough tax breaks to make it worth their while to keep that factory open.

Then you get to shoot all of the people who are no longer buttoned up behind inches of armor because they are now dismounted and playing with chains - obstacles must always be covered by fire. If you can also blow trees behind the lead vehicles, so much the better. Armor on the move is really scary. Armor at the halt…

Agree. I want it to be a a Wrangler competitor so bad, but I have a feeling it will be more of a mall crawler than anything.

Conflicted here.

You’d be super surprised to know most people voted for him because he wasn’t Hillary Clinton. That’s it. Just like most Clinton voters voted for her because she wasn’t Donald Trump. Apparently spite goes a long way

TV’s is an interesting one in that literally nobody builds one in this country anymore. It’s not just cars, cars are just the biggest, most visable item. There are several websites devoted to finding, listing, and/or selling only made in America items.

I want to tell her to calm down but then I think about the seething existential rage I experience at people that walk three wide in hallways and amble, or left lane hogs, or people that take too long to use the sugar/cream station at Starbucks, or people that forgot the form at the Post Office, or try and get on the…
