Most surprising part of the headline.

Ummm, no. Declining TV ratings for going on a decade now, for one thing. Almost all their biggest stars are in their 40's and won’t be racing much longer (Johnson, Earnhardt, Harvick, Kenseth, Edwards, Bowyer, Gordon (already retired), etc.). Declining attendance. And that’s a start.

Nah. XB-70

If there is that much snow on the roads in MI we put on T-shirts and shorts, light the grills, and get ready for Summer fun.

I don’t know what point you are trying to make

Dealers tell customers they have specific cars in stock at specific prices all the time though, regardless of whether or not they actually do, and then try and sell them more expensive versions when they get them on the lot. Tesla refunded the deposit without fuss and without loss on this guy’s end other than some…

Thank you. The Nordstrom’s model only works if you are selling fucking clothing with a 300% markup.

You can’t drop double your margin on a single car to make a random dude who wasn’t even willing to buy at full price in the first place happy.

Thank god people like me, people smart enough to realize that dumping $20,000 worth of goods on a customer because they made a lot of noise is not a good business model are in charge of customer service at most companies.

As its name suggests, it has a 4.0-liter V8 under its hood for the first time ever.

Sorry to be that guy, but looks like this is Daytona, FL; not Dayton, OH.

What proof do you have that reduced government regulation leads to instantly worse products?

But...but...commenters on Gawker told me that private corporations were evil and would do nothing positive without government regulation!

Yes! A highly reliable SUV.

For the full-size truck-based SUV to survive, the buying public doesn’t have to actually need the towing capacity; they just need to think that they need the towing capacity.

You know, this may sound odd, but I’d set him up with a house, a nice car, and a trust fund that pays him about $100k a year. It would be (one of ) my gift(s) to my parents. ;-)

Because it’s not inheritable. You die, the remainder of your winnings go back to the state.

It’s pretty simple actually: packaging. The minivan is a FWD box on wheels, with all the emphasis on getting as much interior space as possible. To fit batteries you have to sacrifice some of that interior volume. I’ll be taking a long hard look at this car at NAIAS this year to see just where they stuck their…

Good points here and it answers my question in my comment above. Though I do think once gas prices climb again Chrysler will be ahead of the game with a hybrid minivan for those that need to toss their gass hogging SUVs for a family hauler that is more frugal at the pump. At the same time I think Toyota will be…

Rocketship?
