Agreed on this one. They care far more about how stable you are than how good your company is (especially with older “safer” companies). Remember, analysts are paid to predict the market. If your company did something good but unexpected then you were not predictable and therefore bad.

No way.  You can sell nearly any iPhone at nearly double the trade in value on CL inside of a few days.

Ha, the LA area is the same. Every single person tries to drive the biggest most expensive truck they can get their hands on. We have people commuting in duallys.

Yuk, the first gens really didn’t age well.  You can get a gen 2 for less money and likely less headache as well.

It has far more in common with a LR than any minivan...

Its a space issue. Once you jam a massive transmission and longitudinal engine under the vehicle you have to lift it 6" off the ground to not have a massive trans tunnel running through the interior.

Damn this looks good inside and out.  Seems like they are trying to jump right past Caddy and take aim at LR.  I wonder how they compare in real life (i.e. not offroading).

This, its the moving part that’s hard, often not finding/getting the job (assuming you are marketable).

I don’t necessarily agree with your other points, I did think it was funny to hear a lawmaker demand to know where their tax cut money went.  It went to the same place EVERY SINGLE CORPORATION has spent their money in the last several years, stock buyback.

Eh, an Audi still often falls under the radar compared to other German offerings. It might be more sedate but that might be too much for someone who actually drops $70k+ on a fun sedan.

Weird, I get the opposite.  They should have dumped all the old names, picked new ones and then locked those in place.  The Malibu and Impala don’t remind people of the 60s, they remind them of the 90s.

Nissan will be out for other reasons.  They have followed FCA down the road of subprime car sales for a race to the bottom.  Combined with CEO problems and they will be cutting left and right soon.

I wonder if there is another ulterior motive here. I agree with the article but it seems that if GM was planning to focus on specific sectors, they could offer the displaced employees new jobs at another location. It seems GM might be killing two birds with one stone and purposefully dropping the employee base at

Although the internet does a great job of burying any info about the guys salary, there are several articles pointing to dozens of his staff who all make north of $125k per year. You can assume he is pushing past $200k before benefits.

GM would not close any of its manufacturing plants in Canada during the contract period, which runs until September 2020.

Seems that this price is downright average for a lightly modified Abarth. There are a bunch near me for somewhere between $5000-$8500 with varying miles and titles. You can get an ultra low mile one in perfect condition for about $11k.

After all that...maybe. It depends on which one is in there. There are a bunch of branded clocks in the Bentley and RR that aren’t very impressive. There are also ones that definitely are.

I’m well aware of Seiko’s qualifications from the Snowflake to Credor, hence why they started dominating the trials. Hell, I’m wearing a automatic Seiko as I type this. The point is that a cheap ($5,000) GS wouldn’t be on the wrist of your typical Bentley owner who would rather wear a $25,000 Daytona or $40,000 PP.

Although cool its really not that crazy these days. There are a ton of mechanical watches out there that are certified, many of which would be too cheap to be on the wrist of a Bentley owner.

To be fair, TA is basically the perfect venue to showcase electric vehicles.  Since its basically drag racing around a track they have more than enough chances to cool down or recharge without having to worry about “fuel” consumption or reliability.
