With the roll hoops that aren’t present? 

I don’t understand the appeal of that guy. I tried watching a couple of his videos, and quickly realized he is all spark with no substance. He really doesn’t know anything about of the cars he presents other that what he read on Wikipedia the day before.

I hear you! I am so put off by watching sunsets. You need to buy the book about ‘Our Sun’, watch COSMOS, Study orbital mechanics at a university, and take at least one astronomy course before you can even understand what the hell is going on! Truly annoying.

You don’t need to do anything. Watching and reading extra materials gives extra context, but you don’t need that extra context to enjoy what The Mandalorian or Star Wars for that matter.

What do you mean, not a whole lot? It was a complete redesign, so everything was new.

Subaru commercials tug at the heartstrings. They’re selling you a feeling. My retired Dad got the new Forester and likes it. On paper, it’s good, but too pokey for me. I live in the PNW where Subarus are everywhere and back in 2017 I almost bought the new Crosstrek or CX5, but ultimately went with the turbo CRV since…

They may not need more crossovers, but they probably need better ones.

I simply don’t know what to say about a news network specializing in business and finance journalism trying to express this in terms of gross income.

That’s really a hard thing to plan for entirely though, and I think there are two schools of thought. Some people want to save as much as they can so they can retire early and just live off interest. If you can control yourself and only use the interest and not dip into the savings, then awesome job, good for you. But…

Makes ‘deep’ into the ‘sex figures’ and drives a jaaaag?

This story checks out.

I think how much you spend on the vehicle is highly, highly dependent upon what other expenses you have. If you make $100k/yr but you own your house/condo, have no student loan debt, and have some money in the bank then go right ahead and buy a $70k car.

Ford and GM customers went for cars like the Hyundai Kona, Jeep Compass, Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, or Kia Forte

150 billion yen.... not dollars. That’s about $1.37B USD.

When I think of cars like the Gloria, Cedric, Cima, Laurel, Leopard, Cefiro, Stagea, Skylines, 300ZX, President, and Silvia, Nissan perhaps becomes the brand which had the largest fall from grace in the smallest time period.

Remember how amazing and innovative the original VQ was in 1995? Fast, smooth, fantastic NVH.

“Synergies...Rapidly changing environment...foster innovation...with speed and capital efficiency.”

“He gets a new powerhouse automotive executive in Carlos Tavares, head of PSA, a onetime protegé of Carlos Ghosn at Nissan-Renault and someone with major global carmaking experience. He too is known as “a ruthless cost-cutter.””

They’re 17% owned by Toyota, their largest shareholder.

Marketing and lobbying are different departments, you know?

Neutral - Absolutely.  If you know what you want and can do everything online, why subject yourself to the “dealer experience”?
