The interior materials are awful is for a vehicle at this price point. 

The answer is Yes.

My uncle was the same way, and I could kinda see his point.  One time I made the same no-logo demand and it was such a PITA that I just don’t care anymore. That and the dealership logos got a lot cooler around here

“In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty.”

Haha yep! My job duties include annual meetings with manufacturers, including GM. When we were meeting with them in 2014 - they had a preproduction Camaro prominently on display and one of the platforms engineers who was showing the car to us proudly exclaimed “and this is the FIRST Camaro with a 4 cylinder engine!” to…

No, because you don’t have to buy new cars. 

Half of this country is financially illiterate. Nothing new. It’s the same as people paying $2k/month for a fully loaded pick up truck, and asking for gofundme help. Or people taking out loans to pay for weddings. 

They don’t actually believe this shit, they just bought into legal snake-oil from some guy running videos adjacent to stuff like Prager U, and they think they can take advantage of a “loophole” in the system where one doesn’t really exist. These people then purchase prepper packs, fake license plates, Iraqi Dinar, and…

You're thinking "Gran Torino" which was a completely different car down to the chassis. Your gripe is akin to comparing and dissing the '57 T-Bird because of the '64 T-Bird.

I always thought the Disco stole the Rancho’s design.
