Dam you and your stupid logic and reason.

I don’t think it’s a vendetta against updating their line-up, so much as resting on their laurels, and enjoying all the money they’re making on r&d that’s been long paid for. The only real issue, is they waited just a bit too long, and now they’re faced with all the issues mentioned in the article, and instead of…

This really isnt that crazy. The original miata was made for 16 years, the 2nd gen camaro for 13. Cars being redesigned after 2 years and replaced after 6 just passes that prototyping and tooling cost onto the customer, which is why we see 6 figure camaros now. Make cars longer, sell them cheaper. Stop using the new…

Nah, it’ll just be a regular ass rouge with some NISMO red trim.

The year is 29371 CE.

The next generation will be the GT-R engine stuffed into a Rogue body. I guarantee it.

Oddly, Ford was successful in the early years mainly because he understood that he needed to pay workers enough so they could afford to buy the product they were building. As a result, we got a middle class in the USA.

For his many, many faults, Henry Ford figured out that paying his employees enough money to actually buy the product they were making was a smart idea. Businesses are supposed to sell things and make money, not manipulate their numbers so the gamblers on Wall Street can make another fraction of a penny on their stock. 

The fact of the matter is if GM, Ford, et al. want to remain profitable, and in business in the future, it needs the middle class. With stagnant wages, all these companies are fighting for an increasingly (decreasing?) smaller piece of the pie that is a viable customer base. A more robust middle class will lead to…

Neutral: Stop judging executives so harshly on quarterly results. Start looking at annual and longer performance windows instead, then adjusting their compensation accordingly — including holdbacks for certain long-term goals.

My confidence in bold claims is inversely proportional to the number of typos in the presentation.

“.... and if you’re going to get a Mini you might as well take advantage of the fact that it’s the only true hatchback “coupe” you can buy new right now.”

Definitely highlights liquidity and holding cost factors when it comes to determining value and return on investment.

I have long dealt with having to limit the size of my collections of various objects, so Ron’s story hits home with me. In so many ways I feel bad for him. It has to hurt to see these vehicles go away..

Try something else for what? How do Dem. presidential debates impact having a non-Dem. mayor in the city? Downtown is fantastic and they’re making great progress on getting abandoned blighted houses in residential areas removed to make way for new development. Slower than most would have liked, but things are movin’…

I for, for one, want to complain about Mark’s job performance. My toilet is reluctant to flush and thus I find he is not running North America properly. In a similar vein, I am highly disappointed with the options I have on the ballot and would ask if he can correct this as well.

Marketers are amazing. Then again I’m stupid for underestimating the stupidity of the buying public. Marketers are geniuses because they don’t.
