If FCA really needs to merge, they need to look for a less complicated/more independent target with less overlap.

Ive had one as an Uber a few times, can confirm that it is a nice car to ride in. Wouldn't buy one myself, but I certainly understand why someone else would. 

FCA should have taken the Renault executives' keys so their company could be checked out while they did the deal, then made a big hassle about giving them back until the paperwork was signed. 

That's pretty similar to the "hug you nicely" language Marchionne used after GM declined merger talks. 

Those are basically diesel numbers. Pretty commendable for a non-hybrid gas engine with decent power in a modern car. The only gasoline cars that can match that are basically lightweight econoboxes from decades past with no safety features and double horsepower ratings. 

No, she has a staff. She needs to start learning how to delegate.

So, dealerships would rather GM curtail production of products that account for virtually all of their, and their dealers’ profits, and introduce new products that will likely not be as profitable, instead of simply buying credits from Tesla?

Who knows how much longer those are sticking around. I'm pretty sure the Mondeo is also on its last legs. 

It isn’t about volume, it’s about profitability. If Ford can move Fusion buyers to a more expensive crossover that sells with less discounts/incentives, but doesn’t really cost much more to manufacture, that’s what they want.

Yeah, back in the ‘80s, there wasn’t any way to stop further balding, so if you did hair plugs too early in the process, you would need more and more surgeries later on to keep pace, and eventually run out of donor hair.

Will they still come in white wall?

Nothing to add, except that I mentally heard every one of Lorne’s quotes in Don Roritor’s voice. 

I do have to say though, other than the fake woodgrain that was also on every 1970s window air conditioner, TV set, microwave, and mini refrigerator, the Odyssey was also a nice piece of industrial design. 

I believe he’s specifically referring to microprocessors. 

Length, I get - most trucks are crew cabs nowadays, and if you also want a usable size bed, you’re going to have to stretch it out. Increased width can probably be explained partially by stricter side impact standards. But, what really ticks me off, is how freaking tall modern pickups are - the picture of the two…

Also, they were the generation that turned denial of aging into an art form, anything that doesn't feel like a stereotypical "old person" car to them will still sell. So, wagons, hatches, and sedans are out, but family CUVs are still in, even if there's no longer a family to transport. 

As an older millennial, the Stinger is still basically the only Kia that even slightly interests me, and I don’t require that many doors.

The Kia Soul is to Boomers what the Town Car and Park Avenue were to the Boomers' parents. 

Well, Celtus would be rendered as Keltos in Greek, so there's that. 

Except that car used GM’s controversial “X-frame” created to allow a lower roof line, which was criticized even in the 1950s for having much worse crash performance than conventional ladder frame and perimeter frame chassis. It isn’t really comparable to competing models from the same era, let alone trucks 3 decades…
