And fire whoever thought this Hideous over-chromed trim was a good look

I think most people saw 100k jeep and pissed themselves laughing. You know kinda like how their vehicles tend to leak, everything.

I pointed this out 18 months ago and was assured by posters here on jalopnik that the pricing was completely in line and people had plenty of money and couldn’t wait to spend that much on a Chrysler.

Basically what we already knew - they were talking out their ass for the value of the product and that people want more granular options.  Did anyone think these were actually worth what they were asking?  I mean, they obviously sold some, but man...

Depending on the trim, Wagoneer prices have been cut by $3,000

Whenever I see one of these on the road, I’m always floored thinking that someone paid 6 figures for it. The chrome trim is atrocious and looks gaudy and cheap, like the car smashed through an autozone accessories aisle on the way out of the factory. 

Make America great again!

I don’t think you understand just how much the Chinese government subsidizes their industries. One of our suppliers - a U.S. based company making steel forgings - told us that they could not compete with their Chinese competitors on price, so they decided to open up a facility in China. They found they still could not…

I wasn’t alive and of voting age when “we” decided to offshore our entire manufacturing economy, and I can’t go back and change it.

I agree with you. The problem is, this is the world we live in now, we can’t change bad historical policy (and apparently we’ve decided we’re not interested in changing future policy either)

I never implied that. What I’m very strongly implying (which I shouldn’t need to explain to you) is that Chinese EV’s aren’t MASSIVELY cheaper simply because they are better at manufacturing.  

Sigh, this is a bad take.

Oh, 2 whole billion? That’s cute. Estimates put China’s government support at $231 B between ‘09 and ‘23. On top of that, they demanded manufacturers “share” technology and buy in country in order to be able to sell there. The scales have been weighted for some time, and every country does it, but China has built a…

China has invested over a 1/4 Trillion (with a T) in domestic EV subsidies since 2009. Your argument is a weak-kneed response.

Cool Amber. $2B a year versus the $40B or so per year that China spends annually today and the conservative $200B that China has spent over the last 15 years. And point taken about the fossil fuel industry, but that’s a government problem.

The Chinese govt can invest in clean transportation AND be spying on us. Two things can be true at the same time. Consider that we just recently learned the true purpose of Pokemon Go (getting people to run around with their phone cameras to build a database of worldwide location photos that beats even google’s).  

America protected and used alot of those Nazi scientists for American endeavors. Also, America didn’t even care for the war, until the Japanese attacked them. Which is one thing that you don’t do to America, directly attack it. Had Germany attacked Pearl Harbor instead, it would have been a different story I reckon.

Have our modern capitalists not done their homework, or is a genuinely free and fair market not in their interests?

ROFLMAO at the thought that that hypocritical weasel Ken Paxton gives a shit about Texans’ privacy. If Allstate used that data to snitch on customers who drive too close to an abortion clinic, he’d be celebrating and offering them immunity.

I love it when I find a potential parking space for my relatively diminutive Golf R, only to realize that because of the size of the vehicles on either side and/or the owners’ inability or refusal to park them within the lines, I can’t even fit my hatch in it. I count myself lucky that I have no serious mobility…
