The Auto Asset Backed Securities Market is currently around $125 billion. The housing backed securities market was like $2 trillion in 2008. So it’s not really comparable. Plus, it’s easier to recover on credit defaults for cars (because repos sell way faster than a foreclosed-upon house), so the risk isn’t the same.…

6 year, no money down, interest free purchase, 38 months later, maybe just breaking even on the depreciation.

You know it would be dope if Chevy put an extra suicide door onto the passenger side of the Suburban for easy access to the rear seats. 

FiST, anyone?

Hondas always fall short on the seats. Car companies could get away with a lot if they just made the seats super comfortable.

Who shifts from 2nd to 1st?

Weird how merging a bunch of terrible, poorly run car companies didn’t work out..

I fundamentally don’t like the slap-a-tablet on it look. Integrate it into the dash!

Dude I was just going to write “Those wheels are truly hideous.” Lol

I’ve gotten used to using Volvo’s Android system, but it can be pretty glitchy, which is not great because it runs the whole car.

It really depends on where you live. Up by me, there are a ton of Teslas, Rivians, Bolts, Mach-Es and other electric cars. In the sunbelt, there are even more. The legacy automakers are dragging their feet and they’re going to get killed by this strategy. 

I don’t know. If Toyota knew they couldn’t execute a mass-market EV rollout, then yes. I think the strategy has clear benefits, but if they don’t have factories tooled up for these vehicles and some kind of large-scale EV battery plan, then they’re screwed long-term.

It comes down to the US manufacturers bungling their EV rollout so badly that they’re trying to pump their stock prices by taking tax write-offs on their fixed cost investments. 

You’re pretty dumb, huh?

Yeah! 

Am I crazy? I like that super 8 hemi. It’s got a bunch of lines that flat-out don’t work, but I think the windshield and the swept-forward a pillar are awesome

The terminals aren’t the problem (though they are very crowded), it’s the delays and cancellations. O’Hare is similar (and worse to walk through). 

Yeah but even with that approach, they still sold this guy on $1,000/month!

Great redesign, but that engine choice is going to be awful. They should have just bit the bullet and hybridized it as the only engine choice. Not like a 1.5L turbo is going to be hauling boats...
