Lindley told Car Throttle he doesn’t think it’s a bad thing that Mitsubishi has such a performance- and enthusiast-oriented past compared to its modern SUV reality, since having an established company fanbase is good when “those type of customers drive other vehicles as well.”

Directing sales to the online tool ...Isn’t that exactly what Ryan did on The Office?

The whole “buy your car online in about 1 minute” is actually pretty insulting to most non-uber-rich people. Yes, nobody wants to spend 4 hours filling out paperwork at waiting at a dealership. But I also want to spend more than 1 minute doing it too. It’s not a bag of dog food from Amazon I’m buying here.

Believe it or not, neoliberalism is in fact an apt name for the philosophy held by the Reagan and Bush II regimes, since:

Exactly what Uber is doing. “distrupting the taxi business” by basically being a taxi business, only making the drivers use their own cars, pay for their own insurance, earn less money, and with the ultimate plan of eliminating them anyway because they know their business model doesn’t support them.

But at the exact same time that they were “up ending the current dealer structure” they were paying their sales folks EXACTLY like the current dealer structure and then having them actively eliminate their position by duping them. Fuck this company so much.

I remember writing about their plan to have an online buying process a few months back, and called bullshit when I read that they were shooting for 5 minutes time from picking out the car to signing the paperwork.

Holy crap, Tesla is just running a 19th century plutocratic industrialist’s dream wrapped up inside a 21st-century facade. It’s all very clear to me now.

I am not fussy and meticulous, I am not a colorful dress shirt waring musician. yet somehow I like him the most of the three TG/GT hosts. He seams like the kids of guy you would like to get to know and hang out with.  

But that’s OK because he’s got a Jaaaag

TBQH, Audi design has already peaked; what I’ve seen of the new Q8, A7, A6, and upcoming A3 looks worse than what they have. Unnecessarily larger, busier, and with inferior stance and proportions.

This car was UGLY no doubt, but I still think a frickin second generation Dodge Durango is uglier...

The brand is Chevrolet...

Exactly. VAG is a whites goods company. The European Toyota, without the reliability.

Well what do you think the S stands for in SRX?

Preach on brother!

As someone whose first car was a 1981 Buick Regal Turbo coupe, I still haven’t forgiven GM for switching the Regal/Cutlass/Grand Prix to front wheel drive. THIS is the Cutlass that you would want for Radwood:

Great insight Hayden Lorell, it might be an easy to learn job, but it comes with risks and disciplines that are not found in many other industries, which is worth something. 

I’m a knowledge worker, as is my wife. I have two masters degrees and am well paid with good benefits.

This kind of thinking is what makes me hate the products of higher education. People will go to college, probably go for a degree that has no real world value, make very little, and then bitch about the guys who went out there and did something that has tangible results and they can take pride in. Like seriously, when…
