Very excited for the Nissan Rogue Z 

Obligatory YO DAWG

witness!

I only eat small batch top soil :( 

If it's good enough for Anthony Bourdain it's good enough for me! 

Is there something I can eat instead of food that will still give me the nutrients I need but costs basically nothing? 

Looks sweaty

The amount of people in this comment section who don’t know which Bronco this is, is mind numbing. 

Mmmmm gimme that low center of gravity from the battery pack weight.

You're a treasure and Jalopnik should pay you more money

So is it time to start a pool to see which Jalop leaves next?

Bingo. And I’ve found Carmax always comes in higher than dealers too, so that adds more to your leverage right off the bat.

That sounds about right. Every book I’ve read about the auto industry basically tells this same story: US company X’s engineers stunned to find foreign competitor Y’s parts built to narrower tolerances and at a significantly lower acceptable defect rate per x amount of parts in a given batch.

The Big 3 just love doing…

The NUMMI debacle is something I’ve studied pretty heavily over the years (for fun, I guess?). Paul Ingrassia’s “Comeback” is a great read that touches on it, as well as the failings of Ford and Chrysler. These companies basically just fuck up over and over again, and they pretty much always will, but for some reason…

This is absolutely what happened.

It’s been decades since the Japanese brands taught the big three a lesson about the cost savings associated with simply using better parts suppliers, setting higher engineering and testing standards, and operating more efficient plants, and apparently they’ve still not learned anything.

Mad respect for Catbus
