Sounds like SOP for the government. 

See, if the federal government would simply consent to selling advertising space on the national flag, we could avoid all this mess. How much do you think the United States of America Brought to You by Enterprise would be worth?

Well, I, for one, am totally shocked by this news. I always assumed that Model S and Model X buyers were highly price sensitive, budget conscious consumers who typically cross shopped with the Prius c. 

Its a full-size car with 2 doors that prioritizes a smooth ride over corner carving handling and can be had loaded up with comfort and convenience features. Definitely more of a medium-to-low priced personal luxury coupe, like the Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Thunderbird, and 4th generation Charger, among others. 

The LeBaron was more a tarted-down TC, the TC was signed off for production first and was supposed to go on sale first, but production delays meant the LeBaron came out earlier.

They’re getting into the north now, there’s one around the corner from me in Delaware. I see cars in the parking lot most of the time, so they must do a business. 

An entire cast? Every single main actor, every single supporting actor, every extra? All with the right skill level, and the ability to fully express all necessary emotions and intonations in a non-native tongue? Simply speaking another language is a different skill from being able to act convincingly in it.

Corporate America has been through this sort of thing many times before.

I don’t know, as long as Tesla runs commercials with a deep voiced announcer with an affected and exaggerated Texan accent talking about payload, tow ratings, and the size of the brake discs over footage of the truck kicking up mud and getting frame crushing loads of cinder blocks dropped into the bed from…

No, no, you’ll just have to visit one of the 8 physical Tesla stores that will still be in operation, on weekdays during normal business hours, take a number, wait for form 1896-B, stand in the yellow line, receive form 2280-G, fill it out, return it, and in 8-12 weeks, you will receive a coupon in the mail with a…

Hey, that sort of thinking sold a lot of Datsuns Nissans back in the day.

Mossy Oak seat covers with a Starbucks Matcha Green Tea Frappuchino in the cup holder. 

Alldays & Onions works though.

All of them, I've never tolerated anything damaged or broken on any of my cars. Leaky gaskets get replaced, dents get popped out, faulty sensors get changed, etc. Little things add up, you don't fix them as they occur, one day you suddenly realize you're driving a hoopty. 

We have a different concept of gigantic, the MSC Opera is like half the size of the typical modern cruise ship, almost intimate, really.

I mean, couldn’t they have just added those features to an XM, without altering the body, slapped a new badge on the back, and called it a day?

30 years from now, we're going to look back on this sort of business the same way we do the '80s designer jean craze. 

Well, those apartments are probably a lot nicer inside today than they were back then. Its just that Brutalist architecture in general tends to have trouble aging well, it can look OK when the concrete is fresh and new, but then it gets dirty and darkens with age and starts looking dingy and run down. And the Soviets…

They didn't rely on them to carry the entire show, though. A relatively small number of actors in a series that was 90+% in English, and you could count on one hand the amount of Russian words the main characters spoke the entire time. 

The Soviet Union doesn't though. Ukraine was a federal member republic in the USSR, not a sovereign nation. Although, they did still have a seat in the UN, thanks to Stalin's machinations during WWII that left the Soviet Union as the only country with more than one vote in the General Assembly.
