Not a Phil Collins fan I see.

Design-wise, I’m not moved by this car. Is it so hard to study what Alfa or Maserati do, or pay $1 million to bring over their design team??

1st and 2nd Gear: Apple saw a 70% drop in China sales - this is sign of a structural slow-down, not consumer preferences. Samsung/LG also reporting major declines in China.

Ironically, I prefer this 2+2 style to the Supra. 

The fact that it’s a 2-seater eliminated it from consideration; 2+2 makes it much more viable for fathers trying to convince mothers that it’s a practical car.

EXACTLY. How about inserting the digital display as part of the wrap around instead of the el cheapo tablet stick-on.

Unbelievable. After all this time, Toyota decided to go with the “stick-on tablet” look that’s been around for 15 years? How hard is it to copy Audi or Mercedes.

Naaah, EV sports cars have more horsepower/torque - Tesla Model S weighs more and does 0-60 in under 3 seconds. The people who complain about “too much horsepower” are the same people who approve of Tesla, go figure.

In 5 years when ICE power-trains are illegal, will this be the last of the “Great V8s”? 

1st Gear: the canary in the coal mine was Apple’s announcement last week about China sales - it practically fell over a cliff (70% drop!) which means structural issues in the health of the Chinese economy not consumer tastes. Apparently, consumer sentiment in China is WAY down. Time to cash out of China and just wait…

There are A-list celebrities worth millions who hardly tip, and when they do, it’s like $20 for a $700 tab. Do not be surprised by the ability of “rich” people to be cheap.

Thus we have the electoral college because the popular vote is supposed to be too stupid to know better. Remember just because a candidate wins the majority of the popular vote does not mean he wins the election. Electorates are supposed to be free to vote however they want, no?

But he’s a “self-made millionaire” so he must be smarter than everybody else.

30 years ago it was 800 jobs, today it is a few technician and full automation.

“American Steel Workers” - You mean the one guy who’s operating the automation that replaced 50 American workers?

Actually, had the Democratic Party been honest, Bernie Sanders would’ve been their candidate not Clinton. Politics is all a sham.

3rd Gear - HA! Let Canada try to build cars: Like any other manufacturing business, it’s hard and driven not by ideology or quality, but business acumen. Good luck to that Canadians. While you’re at it, why don’t you also manufacture smartphones and appliances?

They’re not. I was saying that GM is giving up on passenger cars in general and focusing on the future of transportation towards autonomous cars. Trucks and the like will be the only car available if you want to drive yourself.

For anybody that’s even remotely familiar with how startups operate (especially in Silicon Valley), this is neither surprising nor new. It’s EXACTLY how tech startups run in the Bay Area during their ramp up stage. Uber is no different, or Facebook, or...

I see this becoming a nationalistic point of contention for Japan.
