The assumption there, though, is that a trade imbalance with any particular country is inherently bad which is not necessarily the case or that reducing the amount of imports from one country will mean bringing that production back to the US, which is not only unlikely but potentially economically harmful to a larger…

Cadillacs start at $35,000.

The Germans aren’t even chasing the Germans anymore. 

I guess, though there sure were a lot of my Dad’s contemporaries driving around in Audis and BMWs before I was old enough to drive, and he’s a pre-boomer (born during the war).

I haven’t been in a Cadillac since my step-mother’s mid-80s Seville*, but one thing is for sure back then, there was a big difference between a Cadillac and an Audi or BMW. Personally, I didn’t care for the Cadillac in comparison, but seems like more people did like the Caddy than do now.

Why don’t they work on getting Siri to understand the name of my kid’s school before going hog-wild with self-driving or remote-driving cars?

My local Fiat/Alfa dealer had all its cars repossessed, so I’m going to guess sales have really dropped off in the Dallas area recently.

The Sheriff did initially refuse to arrest Drejka because of the Stand Your Ground law and it certainly seems as if Drejka felt like he was acting within the law when he pulled the trigger.

My Dad had a 930 of roughly this vintage. I remember driving by the accident scene when I was a kid.

That’s the kind of map Dan Crenshaw would say was unDemocratic due to his belief that land should carry a greater voting weight than people.

A VW with an electrical problem? Hard to believe.

Hey, my business had profits in the last quarter that were $5.2 billion more than Uber’s.

One of my accounting and tax clients owns a used car lot, and he definitely has GPS trackers outfitted on almost every car he finances. Sadly, he ends up repo’ing quite a few cars, so the trackers definitely get used.

A state telling auto manufacturers that to sell within their state, they have to meet certain standards doesn’t cross state lines. The auto manufacturers are perfectly able to sell a different car everywhere else or to not sell in California at all. They choose, due to economic reasons, to just adhere to the…

They were burdened with federal rules just like they have been since Day One and will continue to be going forward. Nothing stopping them from angling for a seat at the negotiating table. As it is, they’ve delegated their seat to the Feds.

They weren’t two different standards under Obama. California was part of the agreement so they were signing on to a single, federal standard.

They did work together to simplify the regulations. California and the 12 states that follow California, along with 13 automakers, were in on the Obama agreement to increase fuel efficiency and emissions standards. That was working together to simplify the regulations.

I was not terrified of Prometheus and Bob, but I was in my 20s when the show was on (I watched it with my kids).

But will they steal sales from the comparatively priced Cayman/Boxster?

I had a very good experience buying my VW a few years ago, though I assumed they were just being extra nice because the Dieselgate thing was still recent and they hadn’t recovered from it yet.
