Meanwhile, George Will (and others) are suggesting that the GOP give up on Presidency this cycle, focus on down ballot seats, then on making Hillary a one-term President.

They wont be laughing so hard when it becomes their first car... Until they hotbox it.

Longer than I expected!

4th Gear: Aren’t many Chinese car companies having a hard time of it in their own market because of US and Euro brands are taking up sales, due to the fact that Chinese car companies are seen as inferior? So, they can’t win at home with a perception of inferiority, so they think, “let’s see if we can do well in the…

Ford boasts record profit and watches as the stock go down in price.

Reverse: Lamborghini!

To be fair, there were Windows phones with touch screens before the iPhone came out, and they even had installable apps (long before the iPhone got the ability) in .cab files, and wifi tethering (I know, I had one). They always had a keyboard, usually slide-out, and used the inferior resistive touch screen.

In this case, I don’t think the analysts are wrong though.

That’s when Tesla’s VP of Global Investor Relations, Jeff Evanson, allegedly chimed in on the call, calling bullshit on Bereisa’s assumptions.

When I saw the bit about Daihatsu, I reflexively checked the byline to see if Torch was responsible for today’s Morning Shift.

This is pretty much the strategy of Subaru and Mazda to a lesser extent. Make the best products you can on a few platforms. It’s impressive how well Subaru can differentiate what are largely, the same cars.

Sergio is so desperate to merge but he forgets a big element:

Chrysler has done it that way for almost 30 years now, run the K-car platform into the ground then claim bankruptcy. Run the Neon and all new fancy ass Ram truck into the ground, bankrupt. Bring out the Challenger/Charger and, you guessed it, run it into the ground. I guess they can’t see the cycle they are stuck in.

Man, I talk specifically about bumper covers in there. They are the real problem, and that's what I said. In the article. Up above. And I'm STAYING ON YOUR LAWN. And, one of the pictures in the "Don't Work" image IS a Wrangler. Jeez.
